Ink Review: Diamine Classic Green ink

[Chrissy]

Today I'm reviewing Diamine Classic Green ink.

Classic Green is a relatively new ink from Diamine and is what I would call an olive type green that leans more yellow than blue. It has become a popular ink within a short amount of time.

It’s reasonably saturated and exhibits some nice shading. I found it flowed very well with all of the pens I tried it in, didn’t feel dry, and lubrication was nicely smooth across the page.

My review was written on Clairefontaine 90gsm smooth coated paper, that is not very absorbent, and I saw no spread, feathering, show-through or bleed-through.

Dry time was within 12-16 seconds on my test.

• Nib Dry-out: Not noticed.
• Start-up: Immediate.
• Nib Creep / “Crud”: Not seen, even after several days in the pen
• Clogging: Not seen.
• Easy clean up from hands and pens.
• Not sold as a waterproof ink but showed a little water resistance.
• Available in 80ml and 30ml bottles plus International sized cartridges.
