on saleMonteverde Olivine - 30ml Bottled Ink

I like it! Flows very nicely. I use it for general note taking while at work. Pleasing color, not too vibrant for use at work.

Perfect color and flow. Does not clog my pens at all.

this is my first bottle of Monte Verde ink. I use it for a pen name Mr. Green to recovering inmates looking to improve. It also plays well to my newly acquired veteran status. So, the only pen time I have with this ink are two letters once a month, over 4 months, now... so 8 letters. I like the flow of ink in the pen I use for those letters (a $10 jin jao 51A wooden with a fine nib). Very fluid after a few strokes to jump start the flow. Keep in mind there is about one month between uses. I never have a skipping issue until the end (my signal to refill the cartridge). I have also played with the shade of the green by adding a drop of water to the ink to lighten up the green. One drop of water will give it a very light army-paint olive tone, while pure has a darker loamy olive green. Hope this helps someone in their ink choices, Happy Writing.

I'm new to fountain pens/inks so I don't have a base for a comparative review. Sorry! Thus far, Olivine works well as a watercolour addition and the colour itself is a lovely olive/army green. ***need to add: the Golet customer care is truly amazing! From their website/youtube information (family entertainment), to the packaging, personal note; and the openness to feedback!Thank you so very much Goulet family and encourage pen enthusiast to order from them. Take care everyone!

I received this as a free gift with a pen I bought several months ago, and it gooped up my new pen so badly I threw it out. This ink was pretty, flowed well, and worked fine freshly inked; however, after a day of sitting on my desk, this ink would be leaking all over the inside of the cap and drying to the end of the section and nibs breathing hole. I eventually got it cleaned out, but it was not good. I know a lot of people really love this ink, and while I wanted to, I couldn't stand having to constantly re-clean my new pen.
