J Herbin Bottled Ink(30ml) Fountain Pen Ink Reviews

This is my first ink from J. Herbin and I absolutely love it. It is a rich beautiful amber color. The color and shading look really stunning on either white or ivory paper. It is not really an ink to use with your everyday writer, but mostly to use it when you want to write something to make a lasting impression. I find myself using this ink very often though, because I really like the way it behaves on my Franklin Christoph pen. I would highly recommend. Thanks Pen Chalet for the great service!

I purchased the Diabolo Menthe color to use as highlighter ink & it's perfect for that. I wouldn't use it as a writing ink -- it's way too light a color & would be hard to read. Also, only very slim pens are able to use the bottle as a pen rest.

Like every J.Herbin ink I've tried, great performance and easy to clean along with a great color if you want a lighter brown.

I ordered the Perle Noire (Black) ink. It is a nice, dark black, with very little shading.

I tried it first in my 1.1 Stub Nib Conklin Stylograph, and it was a little too wet. I found myself smearing the ink.

I have since used the ink in my Pilot Metropolitan EF. This is the perfect pen for this ink. It lays down a very nice, thin line and it dries fast enough that I am not smearing the ink.

Overall, this is a very nice ink and does its expected job well.
