Noodler's Gruene Cactus Eel ink review 2015 edition

#Noodlers #ink #green #review

In the off-chance this review sounds familiar to you, let me tell you that I have, in fact reviewed Noodler's Gruene Cactus Eel way back in 2011 at the beginnings of this blog, which puts it more than 4 1/2 years back. The current review isn't about an updated ink formula, or a new bottle I...

I know this post is a month late and a few bucks short but better late than never. In my defense, I'm back from a long vacation and it's hard to get the old routine back on track. Without further ado, I present you my top 3 favorite inks tested in 2014, along with 3 runners-up. Monteverde Brown...

De Atramentis Black Green ink review

#green #ink #De-Atramentis #review

Today's review marks a double-premiere: my first contact with the De Atramentis brand and the first partnership with one of my favorite pen shops, Goulet Pens, who were very kind to send me a bottle of De Atramentis Black Green ink. As a disclaimer I will have to mention that I received the ink for...

Rohrer & Klingner Alt-Goldgrun ink review

#green #ink #Rohrer-Klingner #review

Here I am, finally able to review one of the ink samples that I still have an abundance of. I asked you a while back if you would like to participate in my ink sample survey and the response was excellent. It was a good idea to hold a survey, if I say so myself. So it turns out that Rohrer &...

Diamine Green Black ink review

#green #ink #Diamine #review

I know, I know, I promised that my next review would be from my collection of ink samples, based on the ink sample survey I ran a few weeks ago. I'm afraid I'm going to have to disappoint those who were expecting this, at least for another week. If you don't care why, skip the next paragraph....

Noodler's Green Marine ink review

#Noodlers #ink #green #review

I think it's bad form to start any review with the conclusion but I'm afraid I can't help it in this case. In a nutshell, I absolutely love Noodler's Green Marine and it is definitely the best green ink I have tested so far. If your tastes are similar to mine, you can stop right here and...

Pelikan Brilliant Green ink review

Welcome to my first review of a Pelikan ink! Although I didn't know what to expect from Pelikan Brilliant Green, the experience was so-so, leaning on the positive side. I only bought a sample which I tested in my trusted Pilot Varsity for over 2 weeks of daily writing. Bottle Brilliant Green...

Noodler's Polar Green ink review

#Noodlers #ink #green #review

Noodler's Polar Green marks the third ink in Noodler's "Polar" range that I tested, the other two being Polar Brown and Polar Blue. Third time's the charm they say but not in this case, I'm afraid. Due to a combination of factors I just couldn't enjoy this ink. I tested Polar Green first in my...

Noodler's Hunter Green ink review

#Noodlers #ink #green #review

Hunter Green is yet another of Noodler's "special" inks, not only in some of its properties but also its price, which is 3 times higher than the usual crop of Noodler's inks. I am on a perpetual quest to find the perfect green ink and this is my second tryout for a contender, after Noodler's Gruene...

J Herbin Vert Olive ink review

#green #ink #J-Herbin #review

And now for something different... I'm not sure how many people enjoy unconventional ink colors but I'm a sucker for bright inks. Fountain pen ink to me is more than just a medium for writing by hand. It is also paint, glorious color that I can lay down on paper with my favorite instrument, a...

Noodler's Gruene Cactus Eel ink review

#Noodlers #ink #green #review

The reason I bought Noodler's Gruene Cactus Eel was because I wanted a dark green ink that I could use for writing. It had to be dark enough and saturated enough that the words would show nicely on paper. In this regard, the ink performs. The "Eel" line of Noodler's inks refers to the fact that the...
