HerbinFountain Pen Ink - 30ml Bottled - Bleu Pervenche

Love it.

I use a fine tip pilot metropolitan, and the ink comes out about as dark as pencil lead. It's a runny ink, though, and creates a wider line than a dry ink would. It doesn't write on cheap paper very well. Still, it's a nice, soft gray with a very slight hint of lavender. It flows quickly, so you go through it faster than drier inks.

I have only used montblanc ink in my montblanc fountain pens. I have always been skeptical about using anything else. I dont use other brand of inks for any of my fountain pens be in montblanc pens or not. I purchased this ink because it was the perfect shade of green i had been wanting. But after i got it i was not sure if i wanted to put it in my really expensive fountain pens, so I put it in my cheap lamy and pilot and sailor fountain pen. the flow of the pen and the consistency was so good that it felt better then any montblanc ink i have or any other ink i have. So I highly recommend this ink and brand. Amazing value for money. Absolutely love it.

J. Herbin's Vert Reseda is a fun color. Not quite green, not quite blue. Too dark to be a pastel- "aquamarine", maybe? When I look at the writing it conjures up images of mint candy. Whatever words you feel describes it best, it's sure to be a minty addition to your ink repertoire.Like other inks in the line, it tends to be wetter, slower drying, and has no sheen.

This is beautifully vivid intense turquoise ink. There is no sheen, and has minimal shading on Tomoe River paper. The main difference for me is that some inks cause my Montblanc 146 (two pens) to leak. But with this ink, there is no leaking. The ink is more watery than Diamine inks, but it still get a vivid color. The main problem is with the bottle design, it is impossible to use all the ink when the level gets low. You have to poor the ink into another bottle. The ink is also expensive per ml. The bottles are only 30ml vs 80ml for Diamine inks (around $15/bottle)

Much lighter blue than images show. Too light for me. Monteverde capri blue much much better choice.

I like the permanence of this 'Gris Nisage' gray ink by J.Herbin - but deducted 1 star because of the purple tint.To make this ink into a gray that I like I created this color recipe: I mixed 6 drops of J.Herbin 'Amber de... B' (yellow-ish ink) with 3 eye-dropper fulls of the 'Gris'.Success! I now have the waterproof grey ink color I want.I'm using both grey colors in 2 Jinhao 922 fountain pens I bought in the same order. A match made in heaven!There was barely enough packaging to keep everything from breaking - but they survived the shipping process.

It can be reluctant to come out but seems to have a watery clumping effect. It didn't go down smoothly, looks blotchy. Is more of a light grey than little to no bluish tint. I was hoping for a bluish grey, that's not what this is.

Good enough and as fountain pen ink unexceptionable, but something seems to have gone awry in translation: this tint isn't burgundy, at least to my eye. It's on the violet side of red. Rouge bourgogne is available in bottles but not, it appears, in cartridges. There's the rub.

Good product that does exactly what is expected.

Very happy with these cartridges for my new pen.

great colours

Chi ama le stilo ha sempre voglia di provare nuovi inchiostri, ed è bello che la Herbin proponga cartucce standard con così ampia varietà di colori, che permettono prove agili e serene. Oltretutto i bussolotti in alluminio sono deliziosi.Però con l'acquisto di altre tonalità mi erano arrivate confezioni danneggiate.Fortunatamente, invece, con questo e con un altro presi assieme le confezioni sono impeccabili.Descrivere a parole un'inchiostro non è semplice; posso dire che sui miei schermi la tonalità riportata in foto corrisponde abbastanza bene ma non ne rende la bellezza.Dal vivo, sul tappo della confezione il colore è un grigio tendente all'azzurro avio, mentre sul disegno dell'etichetta ha sfumature violacee.In realtà le sfumature avio per me sono totalmente assenti, e l'inchiostro lo definirei un grigio antracite con una dominante viola, che risulta ben evidente alla luce solare, un po' meno alla luce alogena.Il colore è saturo, profondo, ma sono presenti sfumature di tonalità molto gradevoli.È un colore particolare, ma non stanca, e la pagina scritta risulta piacevolmente leggera e leggibile. Trovo che si abbini molto bene ai rossi con dominante viola, o con i verdi intensi e brillanti.È fluido, scorre abbastanza bene, si asciuga sufficientemente veloce. Su carta da fotocopie 80gr di buona qualità non spiuma e non trapassa, risultando quasi invisibile sul retro.In definitiva per me è un inchiostro intrigante che varrà la pena acquistare in calamaio.
