Monteverede Emotion Ink Bottle, Confidence Blue - 30ml
The Confidence Blue ink is part of the Emotions Collection by Monteverde USA. This collection comprises ten different colours, each tied to a specific emotion (such as Peace, Hope, Gratitude, Wisdom and, here, Confidence). The idea: the colour you choose to write with can reflect (or influence) how you feel.
The packaging: a 30?ml glass bottle, designed enough to fill most fountain pens easily and to allow everyday use without excess.
The “Confidence” name: Blue is often associated with qualities such as depth, stability, trust, and calm confidence. One listing describes it:
“Often associated with depth and stability, blue symbolizes confidence, understanding, harmony and courage…”
Thus the ink invites you to write with intention—and perhaps convey a certain mood or mindset.
Technology & Performance Features
One of the standout aspects of this ink is its formulation with the brand’s proprietary Ink Treatment Formula (ITF). Key features:
-
Improves ink?flow quality.
-
Extends “cap?off” time (i.e., the time your fountain pen can remain uncapped before drying issues).
-
Lubricates and protects the pen’s feed system from corrosion and clogging.
In short: Monteverde positions this as a premium ink in terms of pen?compatibility and smooth writing experience, not just colour.
Colour & Writing Characteristics
Colour: As the name suggests, it is a shade of blue—in the “Confidence Blue” hue. Reviewers describe it as “a beautiful pale blue” with some shading; one said that “in large swabs the ink has some gorgeous shading, almost purple at times.”
Shading / sheen / wetness / behaviour on paper:
-
According to one review: Dry time ~20?seconds on good paper (Rhodia, Tomoe River) and water resistance low.
-
Shading: moderate; shimmering or heavy sheen: none.
-
On lower?grade copy paper, feathering and bleed?through were observed with wider nibs.
Suitability: -
Works well on fountain?pen?friendly paper (smooth, higher quality).
-
Less ideal on cheap absorbent paper due to possibility of bleed/feather.
Flow & compatibility: Many users note it flows decently, thanks to the ITF treatment; the comments indicate it is reliable for everyday use with pens -
Everyday and professional writing: A blue that is distinct yet safe for many settings (signature ink, journaling, letter?writing).
-
Those who appreciate aesthetics: The subtle shading and “emotion” theme add a bit of personality to writing.
-
Pen?friendly ink: Thanks to the ITF formula, the worry of clogging or drying out is reduced—especially useful if you switch pens or don’t write every day.
-
Giftable: Because of the collection concept (“Emotions”), it makes for a nice gift for stationery?lovers.
-
Compact bottle size: 30?ml is enough for regular use but doesn’t feel overly bulky; also good for trying a new colour without committing to a massive volume.
Volume: 30?ml (glass bottle)
-
Colour: Blue (“Confidence Blue”)
-
Bottle: Glass, wide?neck to ease filling larger pen converters.
-
Behaviour: Low shimmer, moderate shading, not water?resistant, not archival.
Things to Consider / Potential Limitations
-
Paper?dependence: On cheaper or highly absorbent paper the ink may show feathering or bleed?through with broader nibs. (As the review on Mountain of Ink noted)
-
Water resistance: This is not a waterproof or archival ink. If you need ink that survives water or long?term archival storage, this may not be ideal.
-
Colour lightness: The “pale blue” character means it may appear lighter on paper compared to very dark blues. If you prefer deep navy or blue?black, you may find it lighter than expected.
-
Batch / brand history: Some users of Monteverde inks have reported issues (e.g., mould or bad smell in some older bottles) — while this is not specific to this colour necessarily, it may merit caution and checking for fres
-
Drying time on smooth paper: On very smooth paper it can take longer to dry; so for left?handed writers or fast notes this might matter.

-
Bottle material: Glass
-
Ink type: Dye?based fountain pen ink (not pigment, not water?proof)
-
Technology: Incorporates the brand’s “Ink Treatment Formula (ITF)” which is said to improve ink?flow, extend cap?off time and protect feed systems from clogging/corrosion.
-
Shading: Moderate; Sheen: None; Shimmer: None.
-

-

-
The “Confidence Blue” hue is described as a pale-to-mid blue shade, with some subtle variation (in larger swabs/shading it can lean slightly towards a bluish?purple cast) on high quality paper.
-
On very good paper (e.g., Rhodia, Tomoe?River) the ink shows clean writing, minimal feathering, moderate surface show?through.
-
On inexpensive or highly absorbent paper (e.g., standard copy paper), it may feather or bleed, especially with broader nibs.
-
Flow is generally described as “average” but smooth, helped by the ITF formula.
-
The ITF formulation gives extra assurance in flow behaviour and pen?compatibility — good for everyday use with fountain pens.
-
The blue is distinctive but still safe/legible for many writing contexts.
-
The 30?ml size is modest (so lower risk if you’re trying a new colour) and the glass bottle gives a premium feel.
-
It belongs to the “Emotions” collection from Monteverde USA, which gives some thematic and aesthetic appeal (the idea of colour + emotion).
-
Because it’s dye?based and not water?resistant, if you need ink for archival work or for documents that must survive moisture, this might not be ideal.
-
On lower?grade paper, performance may degrade (feathering/bleed) so pairing with good paper improves results.
-
Some users in the fountain?pen community have raised concerns about past quality?control issues with Monteverde ink bottles (e.g., contamination/mould) — while not necessarily specific to this colour, it’s something to keep in mind. For example:
“More than 7 bottles of Monteverde inks have gone bad with very foul smell.”
-
The colour is lighter than many “classic navy blue” inks; if you prefer a deep, dark blue you might find this a bit pale.
