Jacques Herbin 11536T - Writing and drawing ink - Fountain pens and rollerballs - Vert olive/ Olive green - 10 ml - Made in France - Calligraphy, Writing

BEWARE!It is a little tiny 10ml bottle and, thus, shamelessly expensive ಠ_ಠ >:(Try to get a 30ml bottle for the same, or even a lesser price!

Bigger bottles are needed of this ink!Brilliant ink, just need bigger bottles!

One has to remember that 10ml is very small, (as small as the standard bottle of essential oil) I feel like perhaps a larger bottle for the same price would be fair.However I love this ink and am prepared to use it sparingly. I had thought I could use it as a drawing ink but there is precious little of it for that so instead I will just treasure this beautiful rare little thing and write with it occasionally.

I was fed up with writing in boring old black, so bought as a small bottle to try the colour. I'm hooked. The ink seems to work well in a range of fountain pens. It is a purple ink with a hint towards a red rather than blue hue, so to me it has a bit of warmth in the shade, reminiscent of Blackcurrants just before they are fully ripe, the point at which you have to decide to pick them or risk the blackbirds doing the job for you. Now I'm faced with the choice of buying a bigger bottle or formulating my own recipe. Dilemma ... or perhaps a bigger bottle to use whilst perfecting the formula ...

This tea-coloured ink may not to be everyone's taste, so it is wise to buy a small amount, namely this 10ml bottle.I find the ink delightful as does my husband. It is such a beautiful colour, and writes with such a velvety touch that we will be buying more. It is as unusual a colour as it is rare, one to be savoured for special occasions. I think newcomers to this ink will be delighted.

There are a few “true black” ones that are on the market unlike Quink which is more grey and this one is one of my favourites - if not the favourite.I have been searching for a good black ink for everyday use and I like this one, it writes a little bit more “wet” than other inks with the same pen but not really noticeable - but more in the sense that the nib feels smoother rather than the ink being more (ie wet) - it’s almost like a tiny lubricant - which I prefer without using more ink.

Yeah, should read the descriptions better.Beautiful ink but in such a small bottle it’ll be finished after a few fills.Genuinely great colour and quality, as you’d expect from Herbin. Poor value for money in such a small bottle.Cute though.
