Hi Everyone! Today, in honor of Earth Day 2022, Steph proves (contrary to popular belief) that it's the fairly easy being green! 😁 I don't much care for green inks myself, but Steph's Top 5 Green Inks are so good looking that I will definitely have to try two or three of them myself. What do you think of Steph's choices? Did one or more catch your eye? Did Steph miss your favorite green? Let me know in the comments and I'll be sure she gets the message. Happy Earth Day, everyone 🌎 and as always, THANK YOU for watching! 😁 #thankyouthankyou
I don't use green inks a lot either, and I am very picky about them, but the Private Reserve Avocado looks like an ink I would enjoy. The Waka-Uguisu isn't bad either, but a bit too light for my taste. Looking at my own green inks, I am quite fond of Mistletoe from the Diamine Inkvent Calendar 2019, and KWZ Green Gold.
Yay Steph... Thank you for your picks of greens and selections. Eric and Steph (and Justin) thank you for the videos and your sharing fabulous pens and accessories.
PR “Avocado” was a surprise pleasant discovery to me-and that vat-sized bottle is convenient to use and economical. Right now I have the cheery Robert Oster “Citrus” for my spring correspondence. A happy green.
I really like Sailor Waka-uguisu. I recently wrote out table place name cards for my Mum's wedding and swatched all my green inks for her- thinking that she would pick Robert Oster River of Fire, but Waka-uguisu won in her eyes! And it was great for the cards, that I wouldn't say were that FP friendly
I have a lot of green inks. I like all of these except Edelstein Jade (even though I have a bottle of it). It seems kinda weird that you picked a lot of light greens, and no solid green - like Kaweco Palm Green, Mont Blanc Irish Green, or Noodlers Gruene Cactus.
Steph and Eric - Thanks for another interesting video. I haven't explored green inks; however, this was a nice introduction. (I forsee more ink samples in my future.) Perhaps, in the future you would consider a video on Teal inks. It would be an interesting companion to the green and turquoise inks. Thanks again..
Steph I love your cardigan! If it’s not too personal would you say where you got it? I love green inks and my favorite is Rohrer & Klingner’s Alt-Goldgrun, which probably explains my love of your sweater! 😁
Hi Jessica! I've just asked Steph and she says she purchased the sweater from Poppy Avenue Boutique. They are local to us here in Appleton, but they do seem to sell on their website, too. Steph adds that the brand of the sweater is: Lush 😁
thanks for the color demos!!! After years of using different purples as my primary writing choice, I am switching out to a verdant olive green. I think I'll be starting with Robert Oster, Sublime or P.W. Akkerman, Hofkwartier #28 My green has to have a sunny yellow twinge to it.
Hi, and thanks for the green ink picks. Green is not a favorite color of mine either, but I do enjoy sometime the Pilot Iroshizuku Syo-ro ink, which is a bluish green when wet, and changes to a forest green after it dries; apparently the color is meant to evoke dew drops on pine tree needles. By the way, Waka-uguisu means "young nightingale" in Japanese, and the color of the ink is meant to reflect the color of that bird's feathers. Pink may be my least favorite color, but I am looking forward to the next video to see if Steph's picks will inspire me.
Do like the Sailor ink but don’t have that particular olive: the one I’ve got is Rohrer&Klingner’s alt goldgrün which I love using as it’s dark enough to be legible but light enough to show great shading my second choice is also a blue/green: don’t have Jade but do absolutely love Pilot Iroshizuku syo-ro, the thing I love about this ink is it’s ability to put down a nice fine line without spreading out: not sure if that’s just down to the dyes in this particular ink as ina-ho (which is another Iroshizuku ink) definitely puts down a noticeably broader line in the same EF nib on my Pilot78g: great spectrum of greens, thanks - please do a blue ink vid next:)
How can these be Steff’s top inks when she keeps saying they surprised her so much? It’s like she was looking at them for the first time. Well…that’s show biz for ya. I was hoping to see Diamine Dark Forest, Mont Blanc Irish Green or Faber-Castell Moss Green. Now THERE are 3 classic and fabulous green inks!
I'll watch Steph review any ink or men's sweaters. But There aren't a lot of brown inks like Robert Oster has blues, but I think the strongest group of true browns, are from Monteverde which are also relatively inexpensive. They are lubricated inks, too, and that helps if you like fine nibs. Serviceable brown inks appear in the basic inks from Waterman, Mont Blanc, Pelikan, and of course, Akkerman's eponymous SBRE (Steven) Brown. That IS a nice ink, probably made by Diamine for Dr Brown to put in the terrific Akkerman bottles.
While these videos are interesting you should show the inks and paper more when you're talking instead of yourselves so it helps better understand and feel what you're actually saying.
Your sending me an item I did not order don't know how you got my card info returning want a refund don't know what type company you are but this is ridiculous
We are watching you talk and looking at the inks, when we want to be looking at the inks! Too much camera time on you. No offense but the video is about the inks🤷♀️ and it’s a visual thing.

Really like the avocado ink. I'm great fan dark.green inks.
Montblanc Irish green is great. Also love Pilot Iroshizuku Shin-ryoku (forest green)
Yes, Steph is back!
Yay Steph... Thank you for your picks of greens and selections. Eric and Steph (and Justin) thank you for the videos and your sharing fabulous pens and accessories.
After having run the gamut of blues I am now getting into greens. Thanks for making this video!
I am excited to see someone else copy the Ainulindalë!

im looking at videos for a nice dark green ink and this is the second one with the private reserve avocado, i like that one the best.
I’ve been using Montblanc Emerald recently which closely matches your Edelstein ink. I’m on the hunt for a vibrant red ink next.
I like Seitz Palm Green Ink. Shades really well
Still think Rohrer & Klingner Alt-Goldgrun is my favorite green.
I have a lot of green inks. I like all of these except Edelstein Jade (even though I have a bottle of it). It seems kinda weird that you picked a lot of light greens, and no solid green - like Kaweco Palm Green, Mont Blanc Irish Green, or Noodlers Gruene Cactus.
Gruene Cactus Eel is my standard green, which I bought for the extra lubrication of the Eel series.
These were such a beautiful variety of green inks!

Thanks for the review! My favourite green inks are the Sailor Jentle Miruai, the Diamine Dark Forest and the Diamine Holly.
Great review...thanks. I just ordered the Sailor Waka Uguisu.
Waterman Harmonious green is also close to the Jade in color.
Nice comparison, glad I ran into your channel. Subscribed !
Vert pre (French) = green meadow. Diamine Meadow and Diamine Sherwood Green are also very good.

@@ericorozco4996 that’s so nice of you to ask. I know it seems silly. Thanks Steph!
Green pens are refreshing to the eye 🍏💚👀😊

Does the writing in that book have anything to do with J.R.R. Tolkein.🤔
If you like Olive Drab, Monteverde Olivine is very nice.

What is your paper? In my experience, shading/sheen varies widely, depending on the paper.
I have the Edelstein Jade, it is a lovely colour.

Come on, Anderson pens: you’ve got to like this!:)
I have to go with either Jade or Kelly green inks

Could you do Brown inks?

teal is such an underrated color
2:42... it's french. Saying it in french IS saying it "normal".
Nothing beat Kelly Green for me. Avocado in second place.
Here are 3 much darker greens that I like: Noodler's Zhivago, Noodler's El Lawrence, and Platinum Classic Forrest Black.
While these videos are interesting you should show the inks and paper more when you're talking instead of yourselves so it helps better understand and feel what you're actually saying.
Oh, cool. The text about a minute in is copied from the Silmarillion.
All too light for me. Kaweco Palm Green is my go to.
👍👍👍
BHello. Thank you for the review. My comment would be: much less talk, pls. and more ink results
PR Avocado
