Waterman Fountain Pen Ink, Harmonious Green, 50ml Bottle

Favorite brand of ink. Their colors hold fast and don't fade.

A beautiful, strong red.Works great in my Lamy pen.Highly recommend

Pretty green at a decent price

Just received this today. Waited till it got to room temp before using. The reason for 4 stars is the color. This is not red it's close to coral pink. The ink writes extremely well first time using waterman ink im impressed on performance flow and consistency for the price.

In '88 my sister gifted me with a stainless steel Sheaffer Targa with a medium nib. I wanted a good, flexible pen for final copy of music compositions. Cartridges of Sheaffer Skrip were all I had readily available at the time; suffice to say, the learning curve was steep and the results remained unacceptable.For years I occasionally tried going back to what I had seen in others as good results; but, the Skrip ink ran, feathered and blobbed, and I became convinced that it was the pen or the nib that were faulty. Three years ago I bought a Cross Bailey with a medium nib along with Cross ink cartridges, and the results were better albeit marginally. Having some extra time and many final drafts to copy over, I asked myself: how could two storied pen makers get it wrong in nearly the same way? This started me researching fountain pen ink.Once I gathered, from various resources, anecdotal evidence about the many varieties of inks and their qualities and characteristics, then I compiled a comparisons list and keyword descriptors and critiques. This ultimately led me to Amazon to make a decision. I ordered a converter for each, the Targa and the Bailey, and a bottle of Waterman's jet black and Waterman's inspired blue for each pen, respectively. Admittedly, I kept my expectations low from years of horrible results and disappointments; but, since I wasn't spending a mint and I still hadn't found an adequate solution to hand writing beautiful printable copy of my compositions, I figured, meh, what the hell.Wow, was I surprised! The Waterman's inks flowed smoothly and precisely from both pens. The ink dried quickly and did not feather, run or blob; in fact, the parchment I use to blot has but the faintest specks of residual ink. Again I have to say: wow!If I let the nib rest on paper the ink does begin to flow, but not remotely as watery or blobby as Sheaffer Skrip or Cross cartridge inks. The control of line thickness with Waterman's ink in both fountain pens is precisely what I sought in a pen 32 years ago when my sister asked me what I would like for my birthday. I am immensely satisfied.

This ink is runny thus making it easy to write with, but I wanted to create a mixture similar to burgundy or blood, and this ink worked for that purpose.

That pic isn’t in the best lighting but this is the perfect green ink. It’s bright and fresh. I had a really dark green (Diamine Delamere Green) and a really light (Diamine Spring Green) and wanted just a good happy medium and this is it. It’s plenty wet and it shows shading in my broad nib Lamy Safari. Plus I scored it for $7, can’t beat that!

The Waterman ink is a nice color. Harmonious Green is a very nice lighter green ink that is not mistaken for black as often as some of the darker greens I have. The ink flows well and dries quickly on most papers. Newsprint is not its favorite surface. Because it flows so well, newsprint becomes sponge-like and becomes a blotter with blots instead of written words. It is not a great choice for your daily crossword puzzle.
