Montblanc Web Grey is the ink from the Heritage Metamorphopsis collection that Montblanc released earlier this year. Montblanc took inspiration from the spider via architects who applied principles of spider webs into their designs. I bought this ink from La Couronne du Comte.

Ink Review Noodler's Blue Straits of Malacca
Noodler's Blue Straits of Malacca isn't really a sequel to "Noodler's Pacific Dawn at the Golden Gate" as the theme, although water based like Pacific Dawn loosely is, is appropriately related to Singapore rather than San Fransisco this time. Like Pacific Dawn, again, Blue Straits of Malacca is exclusive to Straits Pen in Singapore (who kindly sent me a sample of this ink for review).
Read MoreInk Review: Robert Oster Orange Rumble
Orange Rumble is a relatively new addition to the Robert Oster lineup. It looked nice when I first saw photos of the ink from Rob, but upon seeing it in person I was very impressed! Rob describes the ink as a 1970's inspired ink. I can see where this is coming from; browns, burnt oranges, yellow-greens are certainly some popular 70s colours schemes!
Read MoreInk Review: Monteverde Amethyst
Early 2017 Monteverde began what has become a huge expansion to their originally somewhat minimal ink collection with a Gemstone set comprising of ten inks. They've subsequently added a Noir set and an Emotions set. Some pretty inks in the collection from what I've seen. The inks come in 30ml and 90ml bottles. Coincidentally, the stone is also my birthstone. Whatever that means!
Read MoreInk Review: Ink Institute Cut Jade
There are a few super sheeners out there now. The first was Organics Studio Nitrogen Royal Blue and Organics Studio have come out with a teal and a darker blue super sheener, Krishna has come out with a blue super sheener similar to Nitrogen and now Ink Institute in Taiwan has come out with two more. One is again similar to Nitrogen; rich moderately bright blue ink that's practically all sheen. But excitingly they also came out with a green ink that's a super sheener. All the rest have been either blue or a blue-green (such as Walden Pond Blue) and this is a lovely rich true green.
