Review by Jessica Coles Monteverde has recently come out with several new nibs for their Monza line. The Monteverde flex nib ($16.00 at Pen Chalet) is one of these.

Ink Review: Diamine Hope Pink
Apparently this year I have given in to my inner 5-year old and trying all things pink and purple. I also managed to acquire a Sailor special edition Sweet Pink Love earlier this year, and wanted to try and match ink to pen. So a while ago I purchased Diamine Hope Pink (30ml for $7.50).…

I have previously reviewed the Neon Green version of the fountain pen and it was priced so that this deal is basically like getting the ballpoint for free. Also, while the neon green was bright,…
