Monteverde Garnet from the Gemstone Collection is a medium bright pink fountain pen ink with medium shading. It dries in 15 seconds in a medium nib on Rhodia paper and has a slightly wet flow. Monteverde inks feature ITF, which drastically improves ink-flow quality, extends cap-off time, and lubricates and protects the ink feeding systems from corrosion and clogging. Traditionally used as a form of jewelry or other adornments, gems have always captured the eye of men and women alike. With this in mind, Monteverde USA has created the Gemstone Ink Collection, a line of brilliant fountain pen inks that are rich in color and vibrancy.
