I doubt it was mislabeled, however it sat for a long time so there's a possibility that some of its properties changed.Peninkcillinhttp://peninkcillin.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345867425183730081.post-56189274486310299752015-06-11T13:34:47.705-07:002015-06-11T13:34:47.705-07:00I like your review however I believe the sample mi...I like your review however I believe the sample might've been misplaced/mislabelled.

I haven't used it in anything less than a broad, but I would guess it's very faint especially on absorbent paper.Peninkcillinhttp://peninkcillin.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345867425183730081.post-87986581526603734472015-06-02T18:07:56.310-07:002015-06-02T18:07:56.310-07:00I have a bottle of this stuff.

That said, I do not own any B or BB nibs. In a F or M nib, there's not enough ink on the paper, making it a challenge to read. I find it too light for daily use in any of my pens. Dunno if that's a Herbin thing or just this color. Too watered down for me.George Terrillnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345867425183730081.post-22319883724134493272015-06-02T08:01:20.680-07:002015-06-02T08:01:20.680-07:00Great review!

You'd need really really good paper to prevent it from feathering.Peninkcillinhttp://peninkcillin.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345867425183730081.post-8875074841086386132015-06-02T02:23:28.083-07:002015-06-02T02:23:28.083-07:00Great review (and pics)!

Just like you said, Olive has that little bit of extra character that pushes it to the front, albeit by a small margin.Peninkcillinhttp://peninkcillin.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345867425183730081.post-23307758609920662272015-06-01T18:01:17.907-07:002015-06-01T18:01:17.907-07:00Another great review.

Based on your review, if I had neither ink but was in the market for one of them, I'd still choose Vert Olive. Because it is slightly darker I feel it gives off a bit more character.Freddynoreply@blogger.com
