Scriboo Verde Prato is from Scribo’s standard collection. You can find this ink for sale at most retailers including Vanness Pens.

The color:

Verde Prato is a bright lime green.

*For my swab cards I use a Col-o-ring by Skylab Letterpress, a medium Pilot Ishime and a Mabie Todd Swan.

Swabs:

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

Writing samples:

Longer writing:

I used a Pilot Decimo Nagasawa with a broad nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had a slightly dry flow.

Overall, this is a pretty summery green but it can be too light in the smaller nib sizes. I like it best in a wet broad nib.
