Ink Review #282: Robert Oster Green Lime

Surprise! You get two ink reviews today. Let's take a look at Robert Oster Green Lime. I purchased my sample of ink from Vanness Pens.

The color:

Green Lime is a bright, light green.

In large swabs there isn't any sheen, but there is a little bit of blackening around the edges.

Let's take a look at how the ink behaves on fountain pen friendly papers: Rhodia, Tomoe River, and Leuchtturm.

Dry time: 20 seconds

Water resistance: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None.

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

On 20 pound copy paper the ink behaved well, no issues that I noticed.

Ink swabs for comparison, left to right (top to bottom for mobile RSS): Robert Oster Ryde Green, Robert Oster Green Lime, and Robert Oster Light Green. Click here to see the Robert Oster inks together. Ryde Green is the darkest, Green Lime is a bit lighter and Light Green lighter than both of them.

Longer writing: 

I used a broad Conklin Durograph Forest Green on Tomoe River paper. The ink had an average flow.

Overall, this ink is pretty well behaved and is an interesting color. I don't think it's quite the color of a lime, but that's okay. Give it a try, you might love it.
