Ink Review #1259: Diamine Woodland Green

Diamine Woodland Green is a bright emerald green. I purchased my bottle of ink from Cult Pens.

The color:

Woodland Green is a bright medium green.

Swabs:

In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink has some pretty shading and just a little bit of 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: 15 seconds

Water resistance: Low

Feathering: Low

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: medium shading, tiny sheen, and no shimmer. The sheen is only visible in very large swabs on Tomoe River paper.

On Staples 24 lb copy paper there was some feathering in most nib sizes.

Comparison Swabs:

Woodland Green is just a little bit darker than Diamine Ultra Green. Click here to see the Diamine inks together, and click here to see the green inks together.

Longer writing:

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

Overall, this is a lovely well behaved ink, but it is very similar to Diamine Ultra Green, so you probably don’t need both.
