on saleJacques Herbin Orange Soleil - 50ml Bottled Ink

Love the color

This is the perfect orange "dreamsicle" ink. It is vibrant, and saturates evenly. However, I immediately noticed a small amount of white "sediment" in the bottle. Over time (a week), the ink clouded up and I have sadly discarded it. I'm new to fountain pens, and not yet knowledgable about all the risks of bacteria and mold, etc. I read several blogs illustrating this as a common problem with this ink particularly. I hope to learn more and perhaps try it again when the issue is resolved.

I'm a bit of a fountain pen novice--this is probably my fifth or sixth bottled ink. I couldn't wait to ink up my TWSBI 580, and I've been writing with it for about a week straight using a medium nib. I love the color, and even though it's very reminiscent of afternoon sunshine, it is still readable on the page. Ink flow is nice and wet, goes down freely with little feathering (even my notes jotted in the margins of copy paper haven't feathered terribly).

I have just recently started this hobby and my favorite color is orange. I have a Laban pen with an iridium nib and this ink flows beautifully. The color is exactly what I was looking for. The bottle feels good in the hand. The price is right and so is the color

The review of this ink has been long overdue for me, I did not intend to buy this ink but the fine people at Goulet sold it to me as a substitution for a item that was out of stock on their end. Painless and easy. I've written with this pen in my 1.5 mm stub Endura and with my dip pen, the Ink is a nice striking orange but still legible. Not much shading or sheen but I wasn't expect that, the ink is great for what it is. My Endura did have a few hard starts but that's an issue with the pen and not the ink, I felt fit to mention it anyways. Seeing as how the people at Goulet took care of me to replace an item that was sold out and how this ink has no reviews I owe it to the fine people at Goulet to leave my review of the ink.
