Ink Review #1129: Diamine Evergreen

Yesterday we looked at Diamine Emerald, so let’s take a look at another green, Diamine Evergreen. I purchased my bottle of ink from Cult Pens a few years ago.

The color:

Evergreen is a dark green with a bit of black sheen.

Swabs:

In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink has some shading and sheen.

Writing samples:

Let's take a look at how the ink behaves on fountain pen friendly papers: Rhodia, Tomoe River, and Leuchtturm.

Dry time: 30 seconds

Water resistance: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: medium shading, medium black sheen, and no shimmer.

On Staples 24 lb copy paper there was some feathering in most nib sizes but just a few dots of bleeding.

Comparison Swabs:

Evergreen is a bit more of an olive tone than Diamine Emerald, and a bit darker as well. Click here to see the Diamine inks together, and click here to see the green inks together.

Longer writing:

I used a Franklin-Christoph 46 in Autumn Oak with a medium nib on a Yoseka A5 notebook. The ink had an average flow.

Overall, I like this ink for fall and winter-it’s a lovely dark green with some interesting shading and sheen.
