Diamine 80ml Sherwood Green fountain pen ink bottle

Reading some of the reviews it appears that a number of these have arrived broken. Mine did not. It is the first time I have used green ink in a long time and this ink is really nice. It is dark, which I like and looks good on the page, it flows nicely out of the nib and dries fairly quickly which is a bonus. Overall very happy. Just need a couple more pens to use it all now.

Lovely colour and dry’s very quick

I've always favoured green for writing, so I have quite a few green inks by most manufacturers in my collection. This one has surprised me by being even better than I expected, and very useable. It's always hard to describe hues without seeing them, and comparisons are subjective, but I'd say it's a mid dark with just the right amount of yellow, a little lighter than Herbin Lierre Sauvage (another of my mainstays) and with a little more shading and character. Diamine make such a great range of colours, and some absolute winners when it comes to quality. This is one of them.

A lovely rich green. Very saturated colour which I like, and flows excellently allowing for a nice wet writing experience. The shading is very good too, ranging from a darkish green, to an almost black in the really saturated places. Would certainly recommend everyone to try it at least once.

Perfect for my use. I use two fountain pens; one for main writing and a second to indicate important text or actions. Previousy for the latter I used a red ink which leaked and stained the barrel of my celluloid vintage Parker - hence switching to green. Green doesn't appear to stain (so far) and comes in a larger glass bottle than I was expecting (but perfect size and shape which makes pen filling very simple)

Its an excellent dark green that gives a business like quality whilst adding that little bit of "special" to your handwriting.

love this for my everyday ink. it creates a lovely contrast and has a lovely depth to the colour. an ink that isn't blue/black on white/cream paper gives a fantastic contrast that is very pleasing to read and just so easy on the eye. thank you for this. also was well packaged. ink is a 'fancy' product for those who love it, so treating it so lovingly certainly was appreciated.

... the ink was improperly packaged and Amazon have indicated that they are responsible, not the seller. The lid on the ink bottle was not correctly fitted - it seemed to be cross-threaded. I only found this out when I picked up the package and ink ran out of the package and down my arm. It also made a mess on a communal entrance floor, which luckily is tiled rather than carpetted. I cannot explain how it had not leaked on its delivery route. Possibly the final putting down of the package moved the ill-fitted cap enough to allow ink flow? I'm guessing that ultimately it was a bottling error by Diamine, the manufacturers, but I did not have a nice half an hour mopping up ink!
