Irish Green - Montblanc

[visvamitra]

It seems that in 2010 Montblanc changed the manufacturer of their ink as well as the design of the bottle. The company's issued a new, larger (60 ml vs 50 ml) bottle. To be honest I find Montblanc bottle not only nice but also practical, much better than Iroshizuku or Sailor.

The new colours launched in 2010 include:

1. Burgundy Red
2. Irish Green
3. Lavender Purple
4. Mystery Black
5. Midnight Blue
6. Oyster Grey
7. Royal Blue
8. Toffee Brown

Irish Green is fantastic green ink that offers nice saturation, some water resistance and great shading potential. As most Montblanc inks it behaves well on variety of papers.

Thanks, visvamitra!

 

Looks to be near the sweet spot for my eyes. And I agree about the bottle.

Irish Green is great! Although I'd prefer it to have slightly less blue and more yellow. (And that's where KWZI Green #3 comes in!)

Nice review of a nice colour - thanks.

I'd bought a bottle about a month ago and forgotten about it, time to break into the box.

Thank you for the review of my favorite green.

Thank you! I own this ink and agree with LG, I would prefer it be a little more yellow. I also wish it were a tad wetter. Nevertheless, this is a solid performing ink with a fantastic bottle.
