The Sheaffer looks pretty blue to me as well, and dried it kind of looks like I remember their Peacock Blue looking like. Great video though and thanks for sharing.

Strangely I have googled Sheaffer Skrip Green and you do see a lot of swabs with the same blue ink even though it's green. I wonder whether it's down to a batch of their inks and they have reformulated it more recently to be a better green?

Thanks for the ink mix Dave! Hope to see more of that!

Dave's Ripe Pear looks very nice, thanks for the recipe

I have to say there are very few green inks in this green ink comparison lol. I count one yellow, one blue, and two (arguably three) teals lol. Nonetheless, still a great comparison, I love these ink comparison videos. And tbf cameras are notoriously bad at accurately recording green and displays vary so it could look very different in real life.

I’m glad you do these, because I’m really liking that sheaffer ink, but I’d never have found it because someone has to tell you that’s called green. It looks so good in the writing sample. I’m going to get some. Thank you.

As a fan of Sheaffer ink since the early 1980s, pretty sure your bottle of Green is mislabeled. Looks like their current Turquoise. Sheaffer also tends to be close to Waterman inks in colour, except their blue-black, which kind of simulates an iron gall "already dried" greyish blue. And the bottle? Was a bad move, in my opinion. The previous 2 ounce inkwell bottles were my favourite bottles. They reissued the inkwell bottle design recently, but in a ridiculously small size, IMO. My recommendation is find an old inkwell bottle as they were better than most modern "ink shot" things for getting as much ink out as possible. Give Sheaffer another chance. They're the ancestor to virtually all modern inks. Just don't expect much in the way of "special properties." 😁

I had thought that too but if you google a Sheaffer Skrip Green you do see a lot of swabs with the same blue ink even though it's green. I wonder whether it's down to a batch of their inks and they have reformulated it more recently to be a better green?

@@PenultimateDave Other than maybe more modern ingredients, Sheaffer doesn't change much. I will probably take flak for saying this, but the modern Turquoise looks like vintage Peacock Blue (I have a bottle that was unopened when I got it, from the Snorkel era. MAYBE one shade different from Turquoise.) Several originally United States brands' greens lean towards blue. Parker, Waterman and Sheaffer all did this. And there's no colour difference from vintage and modern Waterman green (just the name. 😁) And Sheaffer did massively improve their brown. The early Sheaffer's brown looks like an unfortunate nappy accident after creamed spinach...🤢 Looks like there was an issue with the Slovenian factory that currently produces Sheaffer ink with a run of labels, if there's more that looks like this one.

Very interesting with the Shaeffer ink! When I saw your Ripe Pear it reminded me of Visconte's The Novel Reader Ink. It came with the pen so I'm not sure if they even sell it otherwise but it's pretty close to your mix! thanks for another review.

Sheaffer's red is actually a very nice prre red, very surprising to see how blue this one is

@Inevitable.Change Жыл бұрын

That Sheaffer looks very blue to me, could it be possible that the wrong ink was put in the bottle during the factory process or something? It looks a lot like the Sheaffer turquoise to me. Goodness gracious, Diamine's Magical Forest is stunning, it also seems to have a slightly thicker texture. I've been looking for an affordable Viridian ink for so long and that one comes a little closer to it.

Yup, I think the people at Sheaffer are a bit on the colorblind side. That is definitely turquoise. I have Sheaffer turquoise, and I can't tell the difference between the two. My favourite green at present is the Herbin Vert Atlantide; it's moss green with gold and silver shimmer. I don't know why, but the Emerald of Chicken doesn't work for me. I get horrible bleedthrough, even on good paper. Haven't used any since a long time. The swatch of the EOC here looks kinda blue too. it reminds me of Vinta Kosmos. Have you tried Vinta inks Dave? They have some really interesting colours. BTW, I rewatched one of your older videos to decide on a black ink. I have the Waterman Intense Black, but I wanted something blacker. Ordered the Aurora Black. So, thank you for the suggestion! Cheers!

Glad I'm not the only one thinking this! Makes me wonder if they got a batch mixed up and put wrong labels on if the Turquoise and Green look almost identical.

@jpg5540 Жыл бұрын

I always thought I had a defective cartridge of Sheaffer green lol (those come in the multi color cartridge package)… I concur on the light turquoise color. Waterman Green Harmonie is one of my fave with MB Irish and a safe ink for my most expensive pens. And for J Herbin, have you tried Vert Atlantide? Smashing dark green silver shimmer with not to much shimmer in it.

I'm glad I'm not the only one having this problem with the green looking more turquoise (blue).

Will there be a next year's Christmas version of Dave's Ripe Pear - with shimmer and sheen?🙂I do like the greens and blues. Emerald of Chivor is interesting. I like the Visconti green too.

@PenultimateDave Жыл бұрын

Oooh I could certainly look to doing one, although with the Ripe Pear it might be a little too dry as it's already quite a light/dry ink.

I really like these ink videos! I had to laugh several times about the "green" color. Maybe some of these companies have a couple color-blind coworkers, so they make the business more interesting? I am not into light-colored inks. A couple of days ago I bought a bottle of GvFB blue-violet ink, and I was totally disappointed by a very pale kind of lilac-thingy going on there!

@PenultimateDave 5 ай бұрын

Yeah I have to wonder about whether some of the workers are colour blind too, or they just pick a name and then make the ink and then don't check it afterwards?

Judging from some of the ink names I've seen on swatching videos, it appears that some of these ink manufacturers seem to suffer from color blindness 😂
