Horizon Blue and California Teal are absolute winners! I also love Scotch Brown, Smoke Noir, and Midnight Black. Documental Blue is also a solid, business blue.

You had me nervous up until the end. I was gonna be so PO'd if California Teal didn't make this list. That and Horizon Blue should be on everybody's list.

California Teal was the first one I picked for the video. It's a no brainer.

I know these inks are made in Austria. As far as the name of the manufacturer, i am not sure. I like the Horizon Blue a lot. I may get a bottle, soon.

Monteverde inks are very nice. The opposite is true of their pens. The Monteverde inks that I liked best are: Horizon Blue Copper Noir Mercury Noir Jade Noir California Teal I liked Olivine. But it gave me problems with crusty, sludgy deposits on the nib and the rim of the bottle. I threw it away. And I found that I’m hardly alone in having complaints and issues with Olivine.

@@SilverSeaOT7 I’d say the Copper Noir and Jade Noir seem (to my eyes, anyway) to show some definite shading on the quality Japanese papers I use.

Yes, I have heard of this happening with Olivine and a few other Monteverde inks… but I have never found it myself.

Is Pumpkin cake the only one that shades? I love shading inks and always looking for more to add to my collection. Thanks for the quick review!

I’ve got a good a 90ml bottle of horizon blue, it’s got a terrible, foul smell to it, is this normal for this ink or could I have a bad example ?

@@Jessjoe1956 I can confirm that my 90 ml bottle of Horizon Blue ink does have a distinct, strong and not pleasant odor to it. Nothing wrong with the ink, though. It behaves and performs very well and has not caused any issues in the two pens I’ve paired it with, so far. So, don’t worry about the odor.

Fear not!... there are a couple of purples coming up in top 5s from other brands... but some of my favourite purples are actually from brands I am yet to cover in this series... Akkerman Simplistes Violet, my custom Purple from Kiwi inks, and De Atramentis Aubergine/Alexander Hamilton/Puccini etc. Something for me to think about for future videos in this series down the line.
