Review - Monteverde - Bottled - Turquoise

June 26, 2011

Greetings all,

This review is for Monteverde Turquoise, (in the bottle with ITF). I really love the color of this ink; it is a little paler than Sheaffers Turquoise and much paler than Waterman South Seas Blue. It reminds me of the sky blue ink Lindy ballpoints I used back in the 70s.

At any rate, the ink performs well for the most part; although, like all Monteverde inks, it is a touch on the dry side. (Nothing like their blue-black- which is like sand in a bottle; but nevertheless, the turquoise was still a little dry for my tastes). Aside from that; this ink is a solid performer and if you like turquoise, youll definitely want to give this one a spin. Unfortunately, I dont know of it being offered as a sample by any of the retailers Im familiar with- Ive only seen it at Peyton Street Pens and on e-bay. So when it comes to the Monteverde line, youre going to have to gamble a little I suppose.

If you have any questions or comments; please feel free to voice them. (This is an old review that I finally got around to scanning in and posting).
