on saleJacques Herbin Bleu Pervenche - 30ml Bottled Ink

Herbin makes wonderful inks.Another classic and staple in my stock for turquoise shade of color.

I like a blue that has some life to it, but still looks acceptable in a business setting. I always run a sample though my copier to be certain that it is dark enough to register. This blue is perfect for all my uses!Herbin makes beautiful inks that flow perfectly through my pens. I recently put a drop of this blue in Herbin Vert Pre and got a really good looking bright green that also meets my needs!And, as always, I rely on the excellent service at Goulet--prompt, friendly, helpful. What a great company!

I really love the color! Of all the inks I have, I think this is my favorite. I might say that about every ink until I get the next one, but I really believe this will be my solid favorite forever.

I bought this about a month ago, have been using it in two different pens to try, love the smoothness of this on Clairefontaine paper and even on inexpensive note paper it writes well, no bleedthrough. Using a medium nib, it is a fairly strong turquoise color, dries quickly, and reminds me of a beautiful blue ocean. Shipped quickly and packaged well.

This is a wonderful ink. It works well in my Lamy fountain pens, Delta Horsepower, Faber Castell Loom, and my custom pen, and I have used it on Midori paper, Clairfontaine, Bright White Laser paper and notebook paper. I've notice minimum feathering on the notebook paper, but not on any others, and no bleed-through. Most of my nibs are either fine point or stubs, though, and I do have a light hand. It has very nice shading and flows well through the feed to the nib. In fact, my pens glide across the paper. The drying time is between 7-8 seconds on my Midori paper. It is definately not water resistant. But the wonderful color comes alive on the paper. This is one of my very favorites.
