Herbin Fountain Pen Ink - 30ml Bottled - Eclat de Saphir

The ink was beautiful, flowed very nicely with my pens and had a gorgeous colour. Does take a little bit to dry compared to my usual Lamy blue ink, but is very gorgeous. The colour really does bring to mind fairy-tale vibes.

Beautiful dusky pinkish purple. Recently been using it for notes - it's nice and dark but not terribly attention-grabbing. I will admit that part of my love for it is its association with the moon, but it is objectively a well behaved ink, and again, i love the color.

This is a great bright blue ink — a nice contrast for all the darker blue-blacks. One of my favorite blues!

While I love getting new ink I was looking forward to this one for a while, as soon as i loaded it into a pen and started writing with it i noticed that it is very smooth and doesnt feather or bleed through the pages unless you are using a very common paper like a copy paper or plain ruled note taking paper. With these lesser papers it does not stay as tight as a heavy bonded sheet and can look a little less clean.I know most people who will use this ink will use a thick writing paper under their pen but for the common person I was hoping for it to be able to transition from fancy paper to pauper paper with no noticeable change it lettering size or quality. This was not the case which is the only reason I did not give it 5 stars, in my school environment i need ink that can go from page to page and look the same like my Waterman or Mont Blanc inks which i tested side by side and noticed less "bleed" around the letters.All in all a very fine ink, looks majestic on a stark sheet of paper, although I think I would have preferred a little more violet in the ink, it has almost a plum color look to it on the page but that is a personal preference, and in the long run I am sure I am better off with this; than a middle school gel pen colored purple that jumps off the page instead of eases off like this one does.

J. Herbin makes excellent fountain pen inks and they have a good range of colors. There are quite a few greens. This green is a true, deep green, almost in the middle of the yellow-blue scale. It might tend a bit more to the blue, but not much. It's similar to "phthalo green" if you do watercolor, or a true emerald. It is fairly deep and saturated, not faint.If you want a less intensely green ink, Herbin makes "Empire Green" which is slightly blackened and fainter, less intense. There are also yellow greens (Vert Pré or "spring green" --the color of new leaves) and an olive green. As a writing ink, I think this green or Empire Green are excellent.The bottle is the usual Herbin style flask with the pen rest on the top.

J.Herbin has long made terrific inks and in a wide range of colors. This one works well with my fountain pen and writes cleanly!

I tested this ink with three pens:Regular dip pen with a Zebra Comic G tip (top portion)Pros:-Shows the true color-smooth ink flowCons:-Very bad feathering on copy paper due to inconsistent ink flow, which also causes bleeding-very think ink for a dip pen. The last line a tried a one dip test, which basically I dipped my pen one time and wrote until I ran out of ink. It lasted one full seven word sentence and three on the second sentence. Fine a thicker ink for dip pens.Cheap size 2 dip pen nib (word Hello)I'm not a fan of writing with a calligraphy tip at all, but the issues were the same with this nib as it was with the zebra nib. The ink pretty much was all used on the first letter of the sentence :( Now I have used these nibs with a ink cartridge before and they do write fairly well, but not with this ink.The third pen is the last three lines. (Cheap fountain pen using an ink converter)This nib is a extra fine nib from China in an EF.This ink appeared much lighter because the ink flow is more consistent with fountain pens. It is more of a mauve color than a plum color. I'm okay with the saturation of color due to fountain pens, but rule of thumb is always go for a darker ink if you want a vibrant color.Also a tip for beginners: This is a watery consistency. It is great for fountain pens (ones that use cartridges or converters) not so great for dip pens. Try to get a thicker ink such as India inks.

Poussiere de Lune is an interesting fountain pen ink color. The name translates to Moon Dust. I keep a spare bottle of the ink so I don’t run out. The ink writes smoothly on notebook paper, legal pads, Paperage dotted journals, and Post-it notes. Ink dries quickly and I haven’t had problems with ink smearing. Although I think smearing issues may be related to the type of paper that’s used.J. Herbin makes a variety of very nice ink colors, but this is my favorite.

Nice.

Utilizzato su stilografiche di diverse marche si è sempre comportato bene, sia con pennino fine che medio.

A cor é bonita, e escurece um pouco com a secagem, mas isso não é mau. Não aconselho a usar com aparador abaixo de M - e mesmo M, poderá ser demasiado fino.Não gosto da textura, é demasiado líquida.

E un ink bellissimo , ha una resa magnifica , specialmente con penne tratto sottile .si asciuga subito
