Diamine 150th Anniversary ink: Dark Forest (40 mL)

Loved the dark green shade that felt almost black, but more fun.

It was nice to use on Christmas cards too & definitely didn't raise any eyebrows at work.

Got the barest hint of shading with a Pilot Petit1 nib & didn't take too long to dry on my Tomoe River Paper in a 2021 Hobonichi Weeks

This ink flows smoothly. I didn't notice any hard starts. Some Diamine inks have some issues with hard starting after not using the nib for a few days. It shades slightly and dries to a beautiful, dark green. It's great for taking notes, writing letters, etc.

This ink is fanatastic in everyday use. When writing purposefully it's easy to mistake it for a black ink the green is so dark, but the hue of the ink comes through from time to time resulting in a sophisticated feel to your notes. Great alternative to a blue-black ink if you are looking for a touch of flair.
