Firstly, I must thank migo984 for the recommendation of this brand of ink, and I'm glad they did. This has soared up my 'I love green' awards. It is just a really beautiful colour, and unfortunately the picture doesn't do it justice. I've got it as close as I can though. This rivals what I've seen of R&K Alt Goldgrun, it's that nice.
Quite a wet ink
No hard starts or skips
No Feathering
No bleed/showthrough
No Smearing or spread
Seriously well behaved
Just a really, really nice colour
18790
I am really glad I was recommended this brand, I had never heard of it before, and would have totally overlooked it. Since my favorite colour group is green, I chose Reed Green as my first purchase. This is a very well behaved ink, is is a wet ink with very good flow. There has been no hard starts or skips of any kind, and it does not feather, spread, smear, showthrough or bleedthrough on any of the papers I have used it on. The shading just has to be seen, its awesome. All I can say about the colour is it is very, very nice, its a relaxing colour, and watching it shade just puts you in a trance.
The ink does show some water resistance as can be seen, however it is super easy to clean out of your pen, I've never understood how that can be, but it is. If you don't like olivey greens, then this isn't for you, but if you like the likes of R&K Alt Goldgrun I would suggest you give it consideration, it's just lovely colour.
Hope you enjoyed the review.
Cheers,
Bud.
