Ink Review #2087: Inkebara Granite Green

Let’s take a look at Inkebara Granite Green from the Standard Collection. You can find this ink for sale at Vanness Pens.

The color:

Granite Green is a deep forest 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 sheen.

Writing samples:

• EF Pilot Vanishing Point

• F, M, B Pilot Ishime

• Vintage Mabie Todd Swan (flex nib)

• Rhodia Goalbook

• Taroko Enigma notebooks (68gsm TR)

• Leuchtturm A5

• Pen & Gear Paper from Walmart

Dry time: 30 seconds

Longer Writing:

I used an Opus 88 Koloro with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had an average flow.

Overall, this is a lovely ink, but it’s not especially unique in any way. There are a lot of similar greens out there with more shading and sheen.
