Jacques Herbin 13028T - One 30 ml Bottle of Ink for Fountain pens and rollerballs, Rouge Bourgogne/Burgundy red Colour - Made in France - Calligraphy

One of my favourite inks to write with, the colour is beautiful which still being business appropriate and flows very smoothly. It can change shade depending on what pen it’s used in. For example olin a Noodler’s Ahab, it’s quite light almost purple but in my Lamy Dialog it’s much darker, with a hint of brown coming in. A little goes a long way in terms of coverage , and smudge resistance obviously depends on the paper you’re using but I’ve found it fairly good in that regard.

Gorgeous ink, beautiful colour. Writes well in the Hongdian M2, giving a silky experience

If you like to have a lot of different colours, full size bottles can be a little too much ink. Cartridges are one option, but these smaller sized bottles are also a great choice, and the pricing means these are excellent value. The colour is beautiful - it's got a faded character with variation when you write that makes it easy on the eyes, stands out, and still looks professional. It's simply one of my favourite colours to use. I've used it in a number of pens now, from my Jinhao EF to a vintage Mont Blanc with a broad nib, and this is definitely one where I like going a little broader to enjoy the colour, although the ink works well in different sizes and has excellent flow. It is a slightly wet ink and it's not very waterproof, so you need to be a little careful, but it's a great ink and one of my favourites. It can be used in a number of different ways, from formal office settings to personal use because it's a very versatile shade.

A nice all-purpose fountain pen ink that appears to behave well in most fountain pens, but can feel a little 'dry' with the finer nibs, as seems common with many green inks. Drying time is about average. No sheen or shimmer but can have some shading depending on the nib used. I'd call the colour a medium green tending towards colours like Diamine Woodland Green but deeper than Kelly Green. There are brighter greens so it doesn't feel too gaudy but can be a nice colour for individualism. I have found that the thinner Chinese nibs do not always like the ink and may skip a little, but the addition of one really tiny drop of diluted washing up liquid in the converter can help the ink flow better - your experience may vary. Herbin inks are generally good quality with a nice colour range and even have shimmering inks if you're into those

From the oldest fountain pen ink manufacturer this one does not disappoint. Beautiful smooth ink flow and great colour finish. Would certainly recommend.

Lovely ink. Does not bleed. Smooth to apply. Flows well. Dries quickly. Dinky little bottle. Easily compatible with my pens. Good price and delivery.

I have owned a Parker Centennial Duofold for 30 yrs, which over the last 10yrs has had very little use. Every now and again I have dug it out in the hope that 'this clean' will finally make it a pleasure to write with again. Each time has had no effect. It still remained 'scratchy' with intermittent ink flow, meaning having to use the plunger to squeeze a little ink out, all god for 5 minutes and then same again. Now I do know the tricks to filling, especially leaving it nib down after filling for a while to let ink migrate to the nib, all to no avail. Came across this by mistake and thought why not. Now don't get me wrong, it is expensive, but not as expensive as the pen, or the cost of sending it away to be 'sorted', or to buy a replacement no matter how cheap. Anyway, bit the bullet even taking some of the reviews 'with a pinch of salt' as to it's effectiveness, but, wow is the only comment I can make. Left filled with fluid for an hour, cleaned with cold water, dried thoroughly then refilled and it really is like I remember when new. Beautifully smooth, no scratching (even with fine nib) consistent ink flow etc. I seriously doubt if Parker themselves could have serviced it better. So, in conclusion to me it is worth every penny and then some, would I use it on a 'cheaper' pen, definitely, as no matter how much a new pen will cost, this still works out cheaper. No to mention with a fountain pen there is a certain amount of 'bedding in' to your style of writing that you would have to go through again. Hope this helps, and yes I did buy it, it wasn't a freebie in exchange for a positive review :-)

It’s a good ink, amazing colour. But I bought another bottle of J. Herbin ink at the same time. At least 10ml was missing out of this ink bottle when in comparison to the other one. Not to mention that theres an odd crystallised film floating on top of the ink. I own a lot of J. Herbin inks—not once have I experienced film floating on top of the ink. I don’t believe this ink bottle was “new” as advertised. It looks to be contaminated somehow, unless it’s just this specific ink colour. I think I’m going to try to filter out the floaters, but I’m not too sure if it will work, especially if it’s a chemical reaction caused by contamination which could just continue to react even once filtered using a coffee filter. It’s a shame, it’s a lovely ink & I was excited to use it since I love grey inks. Not too sure how I feel about it.

This is another gem from J. Herbin stable. This purplish blue ink reminds me of a delicate flower ‘forget me not’. It’s flows really well specially creates dramatic “scriptscape” on a quality paper.

La tinta tiene un color maravilloso, entre malva y berenjena. El tintero es muy bonito, con la forma para dejar reposar la plumilla. He probado la tinta con plumilla de cristal y queda genial. También la he probado en la estilográfica, pero en ese caso recomiendo un punto M para apreciar bien el color. Mi pluma es EF y mi letra pequeña y queda muy clarito, cuesta un poco de leer.

Bardzo ciekawy atrament, ale nijak się ma do nazwy. Nie jest zielony, ale raczej szary. Tylko na samym początku ma taką nutę zielonego.

Excelente azul com tons profundos quase preto

A cor é magnífica, como nas fotos. Produtos Herbin não decepcionam.
