Online Smaragd (Emerald)

As promised, here's the other Online ink that I've had a chance to try out. Smaragd is a green that runs a little more towards blue-green than straight green. It's got about the same characteristics that the Brown does, but it will bleed/feather/spread if your paper is cheap. That's probably because it flows a little bit wet from my Lamy's M-nib. This makes it look like it shades just a bit, but I think that's really just ink-pooling before it dries.

This is pre-water-test, of course.

You can see in this pic that it's a bit more blue than some other greens.

This last set of pictures are done on the cheapest little pad of paper I have sitting around. You can see the bleed on the page, but you'll have to trust me on the spread. It's mot much, but it does make my M-nib look like a broad. Not much feathering, but there is some.

 

I suggest that you give it a shot if you're in the market for a new green ink. It's not unique, but it's different enough that it is worth adding to your collection if you can find one of these little bottles.
