Sherwood green flows well from a Pelikan Souveran 600 medium point. Dark enough to photocopy well. Nice shading on good paper. My Pelikan is a wetter pen, and this ink dries quickly and does not smear.

A nice change from Pelikan blue.

I purchased the Graphite, and it's the grey that started me on my love affair with greys. Really great color, with a *slight* green undertone. Love Diamine ink - good writer, not dry. Great customer service by Pen Chalet.

The ink is very good, the color was lovely. The 30ml bottle may be problematic - the neck is too small for most fountain pens to fit into; I leave it to your imagination as to exactly how much of a mess I made discovering that fact (and this is the reason for the low functionality score given). That being said, if you have an inkwell or similar, use a dip pen of some type, or if you routinely fill your fountain pen through use of a syringe or pipette, the bottle geometry will probably make little difference.

Diamine Graphite is an interesting color, and thus one with which I usually have a pen inked. It's gray with just a hint of green, similar to lead pencil (as the name would suggest). Well-behaved, as most Diamine inks are. (Note: I give the 3 for Product Style to the bottle, not the ink itself.)

This is a beautiful ink and writes really well. I truly enjoy it. I do not care for the tiny opening for the top. It is difficult to get pen in to fill. It might be a good idea to have a spare bottle, cleaned and washed just for storing this ink in this size. It really works wonderfully, even on cheap paper.

I ordered four different colors. Have used 3 so far and I'm really happy with them.

Generally these bottles are a great value for the price, though they are plastic and prone to tipping if you're trying to fill directly from them. For the most part I pour these into my TWSBI ink wells for filling.

Diamine makes a great general purpose ink and they offer a ton of colors, though choices here vary from time to time. Again this is a great value for the price, and I would definitely purchase again. Pen Chalet service is as always top shelf.

In case you're wondering, this is a plastic bottle, so if you're traveling and need to take ink with it would be perfect sealed inside a plastic bag.
