Monteverde USA International Standard Ink Cartridges - Napa Burgundy - Rich and Sophisticated Writing Ink, Compatible with Most Fountain Pens, 12-Pack Box

Flows well and like the rich black tone.

Good size, the international standard ink cartridge that fits many fountain pens. The ink is smooth and dense. Would definatly buy again.

I find it very useful to buy these assorted cartridge packs to try new fountain pen ink colors (as opposed to buying single color packs or full bottles). Naturally, not every color was a hit with me and that's a risk I was ready to accept. But the colors that I ended up liking definitely deserve the bottle purchase. Just wish more companies adopted the same strategy.

So, I got these cartridges because of the color, and it is a very nice teal, although more to the green side than I was looking for, but I still like it a lot. The cartridges are a little smaller than my other ones, and one of them actually broke while trying to install on one of my nibs. That was a mess, lol. The ink writes very nicely though, once it's on the nib, and doesn't dry up like some others I've tried. Maybe I'll get different nibs and see if these fit better.

As described Arrived early very happy

The shading is great from a fine nib. Didn't get this feature from a wet medium nib.

I had been dying to try this color and scared of switching to bottles of ink so when I saw these I snatched them up right away!! Will be looking for more colors soon, but this was the one I wanted the mostest!!!

The multi colored package is useful to try out different colors, however, the pkg does not give me the name of each color so if I like one color and want to order more of it, I don't know what to order still. The one I get, without knowing the manufacturer's name of the colors, contains: 2 Black, 2 (regular) blue, 1 light blue, 1 very dark blue (I think), 1 brown (but there are 2 browns in the brand itself), 1 green, 1 purple, 1 dark red (or is it burgundy?), 1 regular red and 1 pink. The case is hard to open (esp. for someone without long nail) and when you can finally open it by separating the base from the lid (the lid has the hanging portion which I don't recommend as 'handle' to force open the case because it'll just break), there's a good chance the cartridges are flown around/falling off the case. This is not a deal breaker for me, as I will just transfer the cartridge to a jar with my other cartridges.

Such a beautiful ink color and tone. The bottle was sealed well and the most product packaged well for shipment. Highly recommend this ink and supplier.

A beautiful ruby red ink. Quick drying, as the packaging states. And pretty free-flowing. Plus, unbeatable value, so cheap for a dozen cartridges.

This package of ink cartridges is clearly marked "Emerald Green". When I put the cartridge in the pen, which had previously held dark green ink, this new "Emerald Green" ink was more blue than green. I cleaned the nib, and the entire pen thinking that perhaps the previous cartridge was affecting the colour, but that was not the issue. It is clearly the ink. The lovely emerald green plug at the bottom of the cartridge belies the true aquamarine colour of ink in all of the cartridges. I will not be buying from this company again.

I love this purple ink. It's not too light and not too dark and is one of my favourites. For some reason Monteverde inks don't like cheaper paper (maybe it's the additive they put in) so beware of that as they can bleed through.
