Monteverde Emotions: Gratitude

[lgsoltek]

Monteverde Gratitude is a purple ink of rather low saturation. The flow is quite dry despite their purported "ITF technology". There's nothing special about this ink.

For someone like me whose mother tongue doesn't have separate words for magenta, purple, violet, fuchsia, etc., it's not easy to tell them apart... For me purple is a general term that covers all of them.

Cool ink splash! As for the ink, it’s a bit too light for me. I prefer my purples much darker.

I could see myself using this color. No matter what it's called. It would interesting to see a side by side with the new Lamy Crystals Beryl (the Crystal inks don't to seem to be stateside yet -- even the Lamy Soho store in NYC didn't have them for sale when I was there a couple of days after Christmas (although they did have a display with tester pens of the ten inks).

Thanks for the review!

 

I don't imagine this will be a big seller here. We thankless Aussies don't even do Thanksgiving, and we expect good service and bargains in the marketplace but rarely offer gratitude for someone closing the gap between our wants and what we could (spend out money to) buy.
