Ink Review #1130: Diamine Green Black

Let’s take a look at Diamine Green Black today. I purchased my bottle of ink from Cult Pens a few years ago.

The color:

Green Black is a deep, cool-tone green.

Swabs:

In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink has a little bit of shading and some 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

Longer writing:

I used a Kaweco Al-sport Petrol with a broad nib on a Yoseka A5 notebook. The ink had an average flow.

Overall, it’s a nice color-I think it would be a good color for the office but it has a bit more feathering/bleeding than I prefer.
