Monteverede Emotion Ink Bottle, Passion Burgundy - 30ml
The Passion?Burgundy ink is part of the “Emotions” collection by Monteverde USA — a line of bottled fountain?pen inks where each colour is tied to a particular emotional theme. In this case, “Passion” is represented by the Burgundy variant: a rich wine?red / burgundy tone meant to evoke intensity, affection, depth. The collection’s marketing emphasizes using colour in writing as a form of non?verbal communication:
“An emotionally intense color, red represents love, longing and affection. … the embodiment of affection, awakening our desires …”
The bottle specification: 30?ml glass bottle, standard Monteverde format. Price: ~$12 USD (US listing) for the 30?ml.
The ink uses Monteverde’s “Ink Treatment Formula (ITF)” — the brand recommends it for improved flow, extended cap?off performance, lubrication and feed?system protection.
-
Reviews describe it as a dark burgundy — a wine?red hue, perhaps deeper than a bright red. One reviewer says: “The color: Passion is a dark burgundy, which can look almost pink in some instances."
-
On large swabs: “In large swabs the ink looks more matte, with less pink, and turns black when super concentrated.”
-
On writing samples: In writing on fountain?pen?friendly papers (Rhodia, Tomoe River, Leuchtturm) the behaviour was: Dry time ~40 seconds, water resistance: Low, feathering: None, show?through: Medium, bleed: Low.
-
Additional notes: Medium shading, no (or very limited) sheen or shimmer. On cheaper copy paper (Staples 24?lb) there was some bleeding and feathering in larger nibs.
-
The review on Mountain of Ink noted that in a Kaweco Al?Sport with medium nib on Tomoe River paper, the ink was “wet flow.”
-
Because it uses ITF, you can expect better flow and pen?feed compatibility than many lower?grade dyes—but performance always depends on your pen nib, feed, and paper.
-
Dry time (for broader nibs on good paper) is around 30?40 seconds. On very absorbent or cheap paper expect slower drying and potential bleed/feather.
-
Water resistance is reported as Low in tests, meaning this isn’t designed primarily for archiving or heavy water exposure.
-
Journaling, personal correspondence, creative writing: The rich burgundy tone adds character beyond standard black/blue, yet remains legible and serious.
-
Writers who like using ink colour as part of expression: Because this is part of the Emotions collection, the theme “Passion” gives it extra appeal for someone using colour to communicate mood or tone.
-
Good for pens with medium or broader nibs and decent flow: If you have a pen setup that allows shading or richer colour loads, you’ll get more from this ink.
-
Not ideal for documents requiring strong archival properties or water?resistance (since the ink is not marketed for permanence and tests show low water resistance).
-
Beautiful, rich burgundy tone that stands out from standard colours.
-
Good overall behaviour on fountain?pen?friendly paper: minimal feathering, solid shading potential.
-
Value: 30?ml for ~$12 is a reasonable price for a specialty colour.
-
Aesthetically appealing, thematic (emotions?based) ink which adds fun/meaning to writing.
-
Because the drying time is ~30?40 seconds (on good paper), you may get smudging if you write quickly or use absorbent paper.
-
On cheaper or lower?quality paper, bleed and feathering may occur (as testing indicated for larger nibs) so paper choice matters.
-
Water?resistance: Low. If you need writing to survive wet conditions (rain, spill) or heavy archival usage, this may not suffice.
-
Colour may appear different in different pens/papers: On swabs or in heavy load it may appear almost black or very dark; in fine nibs or light loads you might see more red. So manage expectations.
-
While ITF formula helps performance, some users note that older Monteverde bottles had quality/control issues (mold, smells). While not specific to this colour, it’s wise to inspect the bottle. For example: > “More than 7 bottles of Monteverde inks have gone bad with very foul smell.”
