Monteverde Jade Noir Ink Bottle, Green - 30ml
-
Colour: Deep green with black?blend (forest?green leaning)
-
Volume: 30?ml glass bottle.
-
Collection: Noir (dark?toned, black?infused colour line)
-
Formula: Uses Monteverde’s “Ink Treatment Formula (ITF)” — designed to improve flow, extend cap?off time, lubricate feeds and protect against clogging or corrosion.
-
Bottle: Glass, suitable for fountain pen filling (converters/piston/eyedropper)
-
The shade is rich and dark; reviewers describe it as appearing almost black at first glance, then revealing a subtle green hue on closer inspection.
-
On fountain?pen?friendly papers, the ink shows medium shading and low sheen (i.e., you’ll see variation from lighter to darker green, but no shimmering particles).
-
Reviews highlight: “flow was good with no feathering or bleed?through on Rhodia paper.” Dry time in one review: ~30 seconds on Tomoe River / Rhodia.
-
Water resistance: Low. This ink is not marketed as waterproof or permanent.
-
Because Jade?Noir is dark enough to pass for near?black in many settings, it’s a good choice for everyday writing, journaling or professional correspondence when you want something subtly different from standard black or blue.
-
The green?black tone adds personality without being loud; ideal if you like green inks but need one that stays work?appropriate.
-
The ITF formula means good flow and pen?friendliness—helpful especially if your pen tends to run dry or you use broader nibs.
-
On high?quality paper the colour shows its depth and character best; the dark hue means less show?through and better legibility.
-
On cheaper, more absorbent paper, you may still get some show?through or ghosting; as ever with fountain?pen inks, paper quality matters. One review did see “medium show?through” on standard copy paper.
-
Colour expectations: If you were aiming for a bright or vivid green, you might find Jade?Noir a bit more muted or “forest?green” than “leaf?green”. One reviewer said it was “so dark that it looks almost black at glance”.
-
Storage & maintenance: As with all bottled inks, especially when using in pens for extended periods, good practice (regular cleaning, avoiding cross?contamination, tightly capped storage) will help maintain performance. Some users of Monteverde inks have noted quality?control concerns (e.g., mold or sediment in some bottles) in past batches.
-
Not designed for archival or waterproof use — if you need permanent or document?grade ink, you’ll want a specialised pigment or iron?gall option.

Here are notable performance/appearance characteristics based on reviews:
-
Colour behaviour: Jade?Noir is described as a dark green (almost pine/forest shade). On first glance it may appear close to black in low light, and reveals green tones on closer inspection.
-
Shading & sheen: The ink shows medium shading, and low sheen (no glitter or shimmer). One review: “On 20?lb copy paper there was some feathering but other than that the ink behaved well.”
-
Dry time & behaviour: With good paper (e.g., Rhodia, Tomoe River) the dry time was about ~20?30?seconds in broad nib (per review) and cleanup was easy.
-
Water resistance: Low. The ink is not advertised as waterproof or archival. One review states “The ink didn’t have any water resistance, clean?up was easy.” Suitability for professional writing: Because the colour is dark and muted enough, reviewers say you could use it in a workplace setting where you want something different from plain black but still formal.
Usage Notes & Considerations
-
Paper choice matters: As with most fountain?pen inks, usage on high?quality, fountain?pen?friendly paper (e.g., 80?100?gsm, low absorbency) will show the intended rich green tone and good behaviour. On thinner, high?absorbency paper you may see feathering or increased show?through. As per one review: “On 20?lb copy paper there was some feathering.”
-
Colour expectations: If you were expecting a bright or vivid green, be aware that Jade?Noir leans toward a dark, muted green/forest tone. One reviewer noted: “If you were to use a brush … you might be able to get some red/brown sheening, but that is not achievable using a pen.”
-
Maintenance & hygiene: Even though the ITF formula helps with pen?feeding, it’s still good practice to periodically clean your pen, especially if you use broad nibs or frequently switch ink colours.
-
Quality & stock?age check: Some fountain?pen communities have reported issues with certain batches of Monteverde inks (e.g., odors, contamination). While these reports tend to reference older stock, it may be wise to inspect the bottle on arrival (check for unusual smell or particles) and ensure it’s from a recent batch.
