Ink Review #2693: De Atramentis Document Olive Green

/

Today’s ink is De Atramentis Document Olive Green from the Document collection. You can find this ink at most retailers including Vanness Pens.

The color:

Document Olive Green is a lovely medium olive 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 is much darker than it is on the Col-o-ring swab.

Writing samples:

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

*For my writing samples I use:

Dry time: 30 seconds

Water resistance: High

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: Low (only in the flex nib)

Other properties: low shading, no sheen, and no shimmer.

On 20 lb copy paper the ink had some feathering and bleeding in the larger nib sizes.

Comparison Swabs:

Olive Green is less yellow than these other olive greens. Click here to see the green inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used a Pilot Vanishing Point Bamboo Forest with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has a slightly wet flow. I love this pen/ink combo.

Overall, I like this ink. The color is interesting, the flow is lovely, and it doesn’t break the bank.
