Monteverde Raven Noir Ink Bottle, Black - 30ml

Product Information

• Brand: Monteverde USA — Noir Ink Collection.

• Volume: 30?ml (≈1.01?oz) glass bottle.

• Colour: “Raven?Noir” — described as “black on black, as impenetrable as a raven flying through the night sky.”

• Ink Type / Technology: Dye?based fountain pen ink treated with Monteverde’s Ink Treatment Formula (ITF™) — designed to improve flow, extend cap?off time and protect feed systems from corrosion/clogging.

• Collection: Part of the Noir Collection — which fuses vibrant or deep tones with black to produce “moody neutrals and edgy hues” for fountain?pen writing.

• Product Code / SKU: Raven?Noir is listed with codes G309VN (30?ml) and G308VN (90?ml). 

• Packaging: Glass bottle, suitable for fountain?pen filling.

• Other Colours (in same collection): Coal?Noir, Rose?Noir, Ocean?Noir etc. Raven is the black?on?black entry

• Premium formula: The ITF™ treatment gives smoother ink flow and better behaviour (especially when the pen may be left uncapped for short time) compared to standard inks.

• Classic versatile colour: Deep?black shade makes it suitable for formal writing, signatures, business use or everyday use where black ink is desired.

• Design & presentation: Being part of the Noir collection gives it a themed, premium look and feel; the bottle and branding reflect a thoughtful product rather than a generic refill.

• Collection appeal: If you collect fountain?pen inks or use different hues for different purposes, this gives a high?quality option for the “black” category with a premium twist.

• Paper & pen compatibility: As with all fountain?pen inks, results (flow, feathering, drying time) will depend heavily on your pen’s nib/feed, how wet it writes, and the paper used.

• Dye?based (not archival/pigment): There’s no indication that Raven?Noir is marketed as waterproof or archival. If you need water?resistant or permanent black ink, you may need a specialised pigment or “document” ink.

• Storage & usage advice:

  • Store the bottle upright, tightly capped, away from extreme heat or direct sunlight.

  • When switching inks, clean your pen/converter/feed thoroughly to avoid contamination.

• Quality & batch variability: Some users of Monteverde inks have reported issues (mould, odd smells, clumping) in older batches. For example:

  “I have several bottles dating back to 2019. No issues. … but I discovered mold in my bottle of Copper?Noir from probably 2019.”
  It’s good practice to check the bottle when you receive it (look for unusual sediment, smell, clarity) and avoid mixing questionable bottles with others.
