I recently purchased the full set of the Monteverde Noir inks and am slowly trying them out. I am happy with the colours I have tried so far, although I found Rose Noir to be drier than the others. I am surprised, but so far Copper Noir is my favourite. While I like darker orange inks such as PR Orange Crush, I tend to prefer muddy greens, blues and purples. However, I am blown away by this ink and just had to share it. (The paper is Rhodia Dots)

Thank you for sharing a very beautiful ink with us!

 

I have been very happy with all the Monteverde inks since they expanded the line; I have even convinced myself I am content with their Moonstone ink instead of the new Montblanc "Swan Feather" ink. It is a pleasure to find such attractive & usable inks @ reasonable prices.

I agree. A few months back I received a small bottle of Copper Noir by mistake with a Goulet order, and I put it away with no intention of using it. I had an orange phase, but that faded long ago. However, one evening while enjoying a whisky and playing with my pens (to each their own...), I tried Coppe Noir for a spell - and loved it! It seems to me to strike a wonderful balance between the colourfully avantgarde and the tolerably different - in other Words, perfection for someone wishing to get noticed in the office, but not be judged non compos mentis.

Lovely rich hue with great shading. Will keep this one in mind.

I'd be interested to see this in a side-by-side with Diamine Ancient Copper (which gets crud that builds up on the nib) and also with Diamine Anniversary Terra Cotta (an ink I really like).

Thanks for the review. Some of the other Monteverde inks look quite interesting as well.

Nice ink colour. Does this ink stain transparent pens?

 

I don’t know jchch1950, maybe someone else can illuminate us. This is my first fill and it is in a Black Pelikan. The ink window is transparent green and seems fine.

Agree. I am a fan of using surprising inks in unexpected situations.

 

Love the Noir range, especially Ocean, Rose & Copper.

I think Ocean Noir is beautiful. Rose Noir is interesting but a little dry. Next time I will try it in a wet pen.

I have both those inks and will do a side by side comparison.

It really looks good - it will be joining Rose Noir and Ocean Noir. :)

Hopefully you can see the differences and similarities below. Ancient Copper is clearly darker than the other 2. It is also a richer colour with a definite "coppery" sheen. Terracotta and Copper Noir are similar colours according to the swab. But when writing with them Copper Noir is more orange and has more shading while Terracotta has a bit of sheen.

 

I had forgotten about Ancient Copper and although somewhat troublesome, it is a stunning ink in a wet pen.

Here is a close up of Terracotta (left) and Copper Noir (right). The different pens seem to be affecting the appearance.

Oh, interesting! Ancient copper shades more for me, so I'm definitely interested in something that shades even more than that. Thank you for he comparison picture!

Yes, thank you for that. On my screen the swab of Copper Noir looks a little redder than Terra Cotta. So while I may try a sample of it at some point in future, I suspect I will not like it quite as well. Although the shading in a stub nib is pretty spectacular looking...

Do you notice any sheen with this ink? The base colour looks to me quite like a slightly more red Colorverse Golden Record, but what makes Golden Record my favourite is the hint of silver sheen to it! Trying desperately to find a replacement that isn’t a limited edition 15 ml bottle...

I have only used it in 1 pen so far and no sheen was visible, sadly.

I have just bought a bottle of copper noir and am very taken with it. I have seen a couple of mentions that it comes in cartridges too, but I can't seem to find any for sale. Does anyone know where I can get some? Or are the statements not correct?

Peter, Arcadian, that makes three of us. For me it’s usually a Very Old Barton Bottled in Bond, which is getting tough to find outside of Kentucky.

 

Barkingpig, I agree completely on Monteverde’s new inks. Excellent quality at a reasonable price. This copper noir reminds me of KWZ monarch.

      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
