A lot like Noodler's Green Marine - maybe a tad less bold

When I first swatched Sherwood Green immediately after I received it, it seemed like it was a bit darker than Green Marine. Now I don't think so. It's probably the difference in pens. I used a Pilot dip pen at first, and now I've loaded it into a Pilot Fermo . In the Fermo it's showing up about the same as my perception of Green Marine, but slightly less bold. Green Marine, which was loaded in my vintage VP , runs wetter than this one - but Green Marine takes a while to dry and is having nib creep where this one isn't showing signs of that so far. I have to admit that the Fermo seems to have a terribly fine nib for a mere Fine. The VP is also Fine but it seems to be a tiny bit bigger - or possibly just puts out more ink. The Fermo would pass for Extra Fine compared to the old VP, so the difference in ink color might just be attributed to this fact. Either way, they're close in tone.

Leans into its dark side

A very nice green, though it leans into the darker hues. By contrast, DeAtramentis Document Moss Green is much more true green, and Noodler's Green Marine is slightly lighter and has a tiny bit more blue in it. With a fine point dip pen, it showed off its lighter shades nicely.

Gorgeous Color

This is the exact shade of green that I was looking for. It's a beautiful emerald forest hue.

FAQ about Ink Samples

How do I fill my fountain pen from an ink sample vial? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

It depends on the fountain pen's filling mechanism.

Check out our blog post on How to Fill a Fountain Pen from an Ink Sample Vial.

How much writing can I do with 2ml of ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

It really depends on how big or small you write, and the nib size you’re using. We find that usually you can get 2 good fills for a typical converter with our Ink samples, or one good fill with a piston-filling pen. How much writing depends on you more than anything else, so we recommend experimenting with different nib sizes to find what works best for you. 

What is shading, sheening, or shimmering ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Shading - A common (and often desired) result of a fountain pen ink pooling in certain parts of a letter when writing, so that the color and saturation of the ink appears different within a single letter or word. This characteristic cannot be achieved with ballpoint or rollerball pens and is a very appealing aspect of fountain pen use for those particularly drawn to all the pretty ink colors.

Sheen - Characteristic of a fountain pen ink where when ink pools another color can be seen on top of the ink, especially when looked at in different light angles using certain paper types. There is no way to guarantee an ink will sheen, but using a larger nib on a pen will help obtain sheening results in your writing.

Shimmering - Fountain pen ink that has small particles of glitter mixed in.

Is shimmering ink safe to use in fountain pens? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Yes! Shimmering ink is a great way to add some flare to your writing. We have found that a larger nib will showcase more shimmering particles while writing, but you can use any nib size and shimmering ink. All the ink we sell is safe for use in fountain pens.

You can learn more in our blog: How to Write with Shimmering Ink.
