Kobe Greens
/Today let’s take a look at three Kobe green inks from the standard collection. You can find these inks for sale at Vanness Pens.
Swabs:
Left to right: 76 Futatabiisan Park Tree, 34 Sorakuen Tea Green and 43 School Urban Fresh Green.
Writing samples:
Let's take a look at how the ink behaves on fountain pen friendly papers: Rhodia, Tomoe River, and Leuchtturm.
Dry Time: 40 seconds
Water Resistance: Low
Feathering: None
Show through: Medium
Bleeding: None
Other properties: All three had medium shading.
On Staples 24 lb copy paper there was lots of feathering in every nib size as well as some bleeding.
Comparison Swabs:
76 Futatabiisan Park Tree is a bit darker than Bungubox Kaoru.
34 Sorakuen Tea Green is a bit lighter than Robert Oster Moss.
43 School Urban Fresh Green is just a touch more yellow than Octopus Fluids Lindgrun.
All three inks had an average flow.
Overall, 76 Futatabiisan Park Tree is my favorite simply because I like the color most out of the three, but all three are lovely and well behaved.
