Ink Review #2223: 3 Oysters Marine Green

/

Let’s take a look at 3 Oysters Marine Green. You can find this ink for sale at most retailers including Vanness Pens.

The color:

Marine Green is a deep teal with red sheen.

*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 red sheen.

Writing samples:

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

*For my writing samples I use:

Dry time: 40 seconds

Water resistance: Medium

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

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

On 20 lb copy paper the ink had just a little bit of feathering and some bleeding.

Comparison Swabs:

Marine Green is closest to Troublemaker Opon Channel Blue. Click here to see the teal inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used a Sailor Pro Gear Sparkling Shamrock with a broad nib on a Taroko Enigma Notebook. The ink had an average flow.

Overall, I like this ink. It’s well behaved and a gorgeous color.
