   • In lighter strokes, the green is softer and more pastel
   • In heavier strokes or more saturated application, the green becomes richer and more vivid

• Feathering / bleed / show-through: On high-quality fountain-pen-friendly paper, performance is clean; on absorbent or lower-quality paper, shading and clarity may suffer, and show-through may increase

• Cleaning / maintenance: Being a pure dye ink without particulates, it flushes relatively cleanly from pen feeds and converters
