Monteverde Bottled Ink(30ml) Fountain Pen Ink Reviews
Very nice color selection, I ordered it because it was BOGO on National Fountain Pen Day. I have used Conklin ink in the past and these inks seem to bleed a bit more, however on the right paper I have no problems.

The Monteverde gemstone theme inks are in the top two of my favorite lines of ink. They all perform very consistently, with even bold colors that work for a varieties of paper. Seems a bit wetter, but I like that. I have many colors, with olivine my favorite, and imperial purple next. Dependable.

A very pretty color with a hint/tint of black. One of my favorites to have around. No issues with feathering or bleeding with my Clairefontaine or Nebula by Tomoe River. It does absorb fast and on my Crane stationery the ink does seep into the paper to give a deeper purple color.

This ink writes smoothly, is not a wet ink and dried on my Nebula Tomoe River 52g paper instantly. The color is a very nice bronzish brown, but not gold or too orangey. It looks beautiful on cream paper, although I have not tried it on white paper yet. A very great ink color.

I was surprised at how much I loved this ink. I’m not usually into brown, but this ink shades so beautifully (from a dark cocoa to a light sepia) that I dedicated a flex pen to it. Very expressive.

Purple Reign ink is a rich, warm purple. It just might be my favorite.

I love the colors of the Monteverde Sweet Life. I've purchased both the Blueberry Muffin and Pumpkin Cake (perfect for this time of year). The ink pigment is strong, the writing is smooth and the flow is consistent. I find that I do not have to spend any time to "restart" my pens if I haven't been writing for a few days with them, when I use this ink (I currently only have a couple of Monteverde pens).

Out of the bottle the ink was fine in my pen. It's a bit of an odd color but I wanted a yellow/orange for some diversity. Flows well, hasn't clogged my Monteverdi ID Flex nib. Haven't tested for any permanence or waterproof, don't believe it is either. If you're looking for this color you could do worse.

Brown Sugar is a great medium red brown that could be used for every day / work.
