INK REVIEWS

Montegrappa

Montegrappa InkColours :Black, Blue, Turquoise, Green

Montegrappa Fountain Pen InkMontegrappa ink comes in an elegant looking bottle that is described as being just about as good as an ink well. The cap has a high quality look. The thick glass bottom gives the overall bottle the look of high quality glass.

I must say that I enjoy using the bottle. The bottle looks great when it is sitting on my desk. Tthe vertical versus horizontal character of its design makes filling a pen with a large nib an easier exercise. The cap, the eight-sided bottle and the label all have a good quality look.

Because of its size, it nicely fits into parts of your briefcase, so carrying around the bottle is easy.

Montegrappa Blue

I like this ink. The blue has good colour and flow. Some report the colour is closer to a blue-black as opposed to the blues that tend to lean to a blue-purple. (thanks - M. Soards). I have been using this ink for the past couple of years. Of the bottles I have used, I do not see a blue-black tone to the ink. I rank the ink as very good. It is one of my Inks of Note.

Black

Mongegrappa Black

I also like the black that Montegrappa produced. It is one of my Inks of Note. Flows well in many pens.

  • Turquoise - I have not yet tried this colour.
  • Bordeau - another of the colours I have to try.
