I just ordered Rose Noir and Mulberry Noir, which have not yet been reviewed. When the samples arrive, I will review them.

 

Ummm... Deborah... please don't write that they are great inks and/or that you love the heck out of them, because that'll force me to order even more. Ahh... jus' kiddn'....

When I do the reviews, I will try to ferret a bit more information out. They are part of the new Noir series from Monteverde.

One of my favorite ink reviewers is Mountain of Ink, who has a few of the Monteverde colors. https://www.mountainofink.com/blog/monteverde-inks

 

No affiliation, just a reader who enjoys the beautiful colors showcased. :)

 

thanks for this, some of these are bold and colorful

 

Swabs are often beautiful, but as I never draw or smear or otherwise wash with my inks, I prefer actual writing samples (not complaining, just commenting).

These samples are on copy paper, except for Green which is Clairefontaine. The previous samples were on Tomoe River.

Wow, that picture makes Ocean Noir look a lot like Sapphire.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Indeed it does; I have seen it look more than one way since it's introduction. Last week I received Monteverde's Sapphire & Horizon Blue & after liking their looks, ordered up Ocean Noir & Jade Noir, before I think I am "set" with the Montes!

 

Sadly, the more I see swabs of the new MB, Baby (young) Swan Feather Ink, I am beginning to "rethink" the Monteverde Moonstone (@ $13.50 for 90 ml instead of MB's "Swan" ink @ $43.50 for 50 ml...........I might not mind a "limited use ink" as much @ less than $15.00, instead of almost $45.00!)

 

I think Monteverde has given us some great inks @ very nice prices.

Thats a limitation of the scanner. Sapphire is actually a borderline blurple, Ocean Noir is a true blue.

 

I actually think Sapphire is closer to BSB because both have purple tones to them. It would be fun to do a side-by-side comparison.

If you click on the swab it will take you to the review of that ink which includes writing samples. :)

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
