2ml sample of Jacques Herbin Bleu de Minuit fountain pen ink, in a labeled plastic vial.

Established in Paris in 1670, the Maison HERBIN initially specialized in the sealing wax, fine stationery and ink trade, and imported shellac from India. Since this founding their aim has been to "Give body and color to our thoughts." The adventure of one of the oldest ink makers in the world began over three hundred years ago but its products have expanded into a complete universe of inks, writing instruments, stationery, and other goods for amateurs and connoisseurs of the lettering arts.

Another nice ink from J Herbin

Lately I seem to like blue ink, and this Bleu de Minuitlives up to the Jacques Herbin reputation. I put it in a pen that was a little slow starting, and it solved the problem.

Full-bottle worthy

That's my review of any ink sample I loved enough to keep writing with for months and months on end: full-bottle worthy. This handsome, elegant blue is such an ink. Flows beautifully, the color is rich and understated, cleans up nicely. It's a great ink.

New EDC Blue!

I'm loving this blue for my everyday writing. It writes smooth with little to no feathering, even on poor paper. It has a rich blue color, but retains some shading when used on the nicer paper

The BEST dark blue!

I'm very happy with this ink and always have one of my pens inked with this rich, deep blue color. Good flow, doesn't dry too slowly, a 'serious' blue. Highly recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I fill my fountain pen from an ink sample vial? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

The technique depends on the fountain pen's filling mechanism.

How much writing can I really do with 2ml? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

We find that usually you can get 2 good fills for a typical converter with our ink samples, or one good fill with a large capacity piston-filling pen.

How much writing you can do depends on you more than anything else. It mostly depends on how big or small you write, and the nib size you’re using. We recommend experimenting with different nib sizes to find what works best for you.
