    Monteverde Pumpkin Cake

    Ink review of Monteverde Pumpkin Cake Comes in a glass botte, 30 ml. Dieses Review hat ein bisschen Zeit beansprucht, weil ich die Tinte auf mehreren Papieren getestet habe. Es handelt sich um einen warmen Braunton, fast so als hätte man Schokolade mit Kürbis gemischt. Der Name passt also perfekt! Falls es Menschen gibt, die Tinte nach Jahreszeiten verwenden: diese Tinte ist flüssiger Herbst. This review tooks some time, because I tried the ink on different papers. It’s a warm brown color, almost as if you mixed choclate with some pumpkin. The name fits perfect! If you choose your inks according to seasons this one would fit perfect to autumn.…

    Monteverde Purple Mist

    I’m back with another ink review – and I thought I will add the german text as well for all my german speaking followers. Monteverde Purple Mist, 30 ml, glass bottle Heller Violett-Ton, beim Schreiben wirkt es zunächst etwas rosa, trocknet jedoch mit deutlich blauem Einschlag. Eher fließfreudig, keine Rückstände, Pigmente, Glibber o. ä. im Glas. Kein Shimmer oder Sheen vorhanden. In meinem Lamy Füller zeigt sich deutliches Shading auf Tomoe River, die hellen Bereiche sind dabei sehr hell und ggf. für manche Menschen schwer zu lesen. Bright violet, while writing it’s rather pink but turns more to blue while drying. It’s pretty fluent, I didn’t find any pigments, glibber…

    Diamine Marine

    This color is a bright teal, turquoise or sea blue. It reminds me a little bit of the stone turquoise, although the color is a little bit darker. I’d say its a blue tone with a little bit of green inside. While writing on my Tomoe River Paper you can see a little bit of shading, the differences between the lighter and the darker parts of the lines is less prominent than in other inks. I was surprised to see a little bit of red sheen in the swatch on the bottom of the page. It is not visible in the written text passages. On Leuchtturm 120gsm paper, where I…

    The color changes between dark green, grey green and blue green. I’d describe it as blue green. It’s a beautiful ink with a lot of shading, the flow is rather wet. I didn’t have any problems writing with this ink, also there haven’t been any things like crumbs, pigments or glibber in the ink. As you can see there is a lot of shading going on in this ink. It’s a rather light ink apart from the darker pools. It may be too light for some people on white paper. The shading is less prominent on Leuchtturm Paper and the whole writing looks a little bit calmer. The lighter parts…
