    Default Nagasawa Kobe Maiko Green

    Hi,
    I just recorded a review for the Maiko Green ink

    http://youtu.be/ePISfzC4d5I

    It is a very special ink indeed; dark enough for formal writing but also with a hint of orange gradient that makes it interesting enough for writing hundreds of pages this autumn...
    Seems a bit dry , but I must admit that most of the inks seems dry with the Namiki Falcon and I haven´t experienced any railroading yet.
    Definitely a ink that I would recommend.
    Cheers

    Thanks for the review. Beuatiful handwriting and a nice colored ink. That is a very informative way to show an ink's behavior. What paper were you using?

    As a side note, that nib would drive me crazy. Not only the significant amount of scratch on the upstrokes, but I saw several skips and near skips. I think that your nib needs some attention.

    Thanks for your comments.
    The paper is Bristol board.
    I think the nib is fine; Rushing and needle point nibs are never a good combination

    For some reason your attachments are not coming through. Did you use the insert image option? Would love to see these!

    Try editing your posts and re-uploaded your pictures then delete the original picture.

    A very appealing dark green and nice penmanship.

    Thanks for sharing.
