on saleMonteverde Smoke Noir - Ink Sample

Goes on black and dries to a graphite that looks almost like pencil. Really enjoyable to write with. Highly recommend.

Loved the color, the ink is drier than the coal noir, and leans a tiny bit dry, without being a dry ink.

Much darker than I expected. I was thinking this would be a bit more on the dark grey side, but it's much more charcoal-black. Almost like a blink-and-you'll-miss-it's-not-actually-black. For reasons unknown, this ink also experienced a large amount of nib creep in a pen where other inks had stayed at bay.

I really like this. Great color, works awesome in my fine-nibbed metropolitan on all of the paper I have access to - including work's potato printer paper. I also like it on my Leuchtturm1917, Tomoe River, Rhodia...

I have used this ink with a glass dip pen and an EF Nemosine Singularity on various papers (Tomoe River, Rhodia, Moleskine, Leuchtturm 1917, Col-o-ring, Piccadilly notepad not meant for use with fountain pens) and it has behaved consistently. Goes on black, dries grey. It's a true grey, not a grey that looks like faded black.
