Ink Review #458: Pelikan Edelstein Olivine

Today I will be reviewing a Pelikan Edelstein ink. Olivine is a medium true green that was the 2018 Ink of the Year.

Swabs:

This ink had medium shading and no sheen. It is a medium forest-green without any significant underlying hues.

I found this ink to have an average flow. The color is pleasant and subtle enough to be a work / grading ink. As with all Pelikan inks, the flow was smooth without skipping.

Overall: I have always liked Pelikan inks as they are generally well-behaved. The color is a lovely, emerald-esque green.
