Monteverde California Teal from Monteverde's standard collection is a medium green fountain pen ink that leans just a little bit toward blue with medium shading and high red sheen. It dries in 40 seconds in a medium nib on Rhodia paper and has a 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.
