Ink Review #2735: Octopus Fluids Document Green

/

Let’s take a look at Octopus Fluids Document Green from the Document Series. You can find this ink for sale at some retailers including Vanness Pens.

The color:

Document Green is a medium evergreen.

*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 turns black where it pooled but I wouldn’t call it sheen.

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: 20 seconds

Water resistance: High

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: There’s some bleeding in the flex nib and swab on Rhodia, but I think that’s due to a flaw in the paper rather than the ink. I’ve had this happen with most inks on this most recent batch of paper.

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

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

Comparison Swabs:

Document Green is less saturated than Diamine Tropical Green. Click here to see the green inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used a Pelikan M600 Vibrant Green with a fine nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has a slightly wet flow.

Overall, I love the water resistance and flow this ink has. I really like it when inks are just a little bit wet and hold up well to water.
