Beautiful pen.! Very nice writer with the 1.1 mm Stub nib. I liked it so much I purchased 2, one for me and 1 one for my sister. She's having fun with her first fountain pen.

Smooth,drys quick,lovely color

I cannot get the ink bottle open. I have used jar rubbers and pliers. I don’t know how to open it.

Reminds me of the tardis on Dr. Who

It has a smooth flow, and the depth of the colour is great. I really enjoy using this ink for work.

Like a lot of people my first experience with a fountain pen was a trusty, basic Sheaffer cartridge pen that came with a blue Sheaffer cartridge. It was a nice enough color, but after a while I wanted something different so for many many years my go to ink color was blue black. Recently my love of fountain pens was re-kindled, and I started playing around with different colors. I never thought I would actually buy blue ink again, but the Monteverde Horizon Blue looked so beautiful on Goulet I decided to give it a try. I was not disappointed! It is a "real" blue that looks right at home on an important signature but has a certain extra brilliance that is beautiful to see. I am back in love with a "basic" blue again!

It was much better than any cartridge ink

I loved the color of Monteverde Horizon Blue. I heard it is very close to the legendary penman sapphire and hence bought it. The pen bleeds a lot even on Rhodia and Clairefontaine paper despite using EF nib. The color is beautiful and if you dont mind the bleed, go for it. Hence three stars.

This ink one of my favorites. It's a nice dark blue, that isn't too dark. It's a very smooth writing ink that is consistent. It does take some time to dry though.

Packaging was great, shipment was fast, customer service was excellent.

Horizon blue is one of my favorite blues. It is a great flowing ink with good color saturation. Very nice ink.

Beautiful blue works well in my Pilot Metropolitan. Fills the blue spot in my color pallet just right.

This ink is the perfect match for my Montegrappa ten commandments pen. I used it to take copious notes during a recent law class and really appreciated how vibrant the color was and how quickly it dried. Not bleeding through the plain note paper was an added bonus. This was a great recommendation, thank you Jessica!

Very smooth writing and nice shade of blue. Seems darker than in the product description.

Love it! Great match for my navy blue Conklin Herringbone.

Love the color!

This was my very first fountain pen purchase. I started researching pens after a client, upon discovering that I like to write hand-written thank you notes, sold me on the advantages of investing in a fountain. Doing research, I found it challenging to find a pen that BOTH got me excited and fit within my budget...until I found this pen. It has such an understated elegance to it that makes it very appealing and classy. The best thing is the resin - it does look exactly like the photos featured on the website - its depth, shimmer and chatoyance are wondrously beautiful. I ordered it with a fine nib - it fed and wrote smoothly right out of the box. Monteverdi's Horizon Blue ink complements the color of the resin. The ordering process was easy, the pen arrived on time, and I really appreciated the note from Brandon (who packed my order). I am 100% satisfied with my purchase and would recommend Goulet Pens - thank you!

Love this ink. Great for writing, easy to wash spills.

Buy a pen and get a bottle of ink? Okay, I did. This was a well behaved blue that I used in my Diplomat Aero. My ratings on shading, waterproofness and dry time are guesses as I've merely used it on marginal 20 lb paper with little to no feathering.

Messy, I am all thumbs, so I now have blue Thumbs, but... I have since learned how to use the ink syringes that I got with my initial order and have it down to a science... I still end up with blue thumbs, but not as much. Love the pens and the color of the ink, so it all worth it. And I LOVE writing with the Pen.

I love this blue ink. A little brighter than Diamine Blue Velvet, but equally smooth and high quality. 90ml is a ton of ink! I will be using this for a good long while.

This was an astounding color for blue. However, these are my first fountain pens, so I am just learning.

very good ink

Beautiful color. Really like the Monteverde inks. They don't tend to clog up my pens. Always great service from Goulet pen.

I like the ink it goes on good when writing. I also like the horizon blue.

Great ink, I use it in all of my pens

It's a light blue ink with good flow. It's economical because of its large capacity.

Not only is this an exceptionally bold rich blue, it is extra creamy smooth even in a fine point nib... because it is luuuuuuuuubricated. I like Noodler's Baystate Blue (as do most people), but it does not always flow through fine and extra fine nibs. This Monteverde ink does. The $2.50 more you pay for the 3 oz bottle (90 mL) for this ink over the Noodler's? Worth it, oh so worth it.

Wonderful blue ink, flows really well, tons of ink for a good price.

A nice medium blue ink, well-behaved.

Is a good looking blue. Use it for taking notes in school, it works as it should. I would recommend it.

Great ink at any price. Virtually the same color as Diamine Velvet Blue, but drys faster, more water resistant, less price and lubricated (better with my Homo Sapiens piston).
