Herbin Fountain Pen Ink - 30ml Bottled - Bleu Azur

Herbin’s Poussiere de Lune is attractive but not so remarkable as to be beautiful.With a heavy flow nib will be a deep purple. Less ink and it’s a smokier purple reminiscent of dusk. No sheen.Wetness and feathering similar to Noodler’s although seems to dry faster.30ml bottle is fairly shallow and requires consideration for larger nibs.

I tested this ink with three pens:Regular dip pen with a Zebra Comic G tip (top portion)Pros:-Shows the true color-smooth ink flowCons:-Very bad feathering on copy paper due to inconsistent ink flow, which also causes bleeding-very think ink for a dip pen. The last line a tried a one dip test, which basically I dipped my pen one time and wrote until I ran out of ink. It lasted one full seven word sentence and three on the second sentence. Fine a thicker ink for dip pens.Cheap size 2 dip pen nib (word Hello)I'm not a fan of writing with a calligraphy tip at all, but the issues were the same with this nib as it was with the zebra nib. The ink pretty much was all used on the first letter of the sentence :( Now I have used these nibs with a ink cartridge before and they do write fairly well, but not with this ink.The third pen is the last three lines. (Cheap fountain pen using an ink converter)This nib is a extra fine nib from China in an EF.This ink appeared much lighter because the ink flow is more consistent with fountain pens. It is more of a mauve color than a plum color. I'm okay with the saturation of color due to fountain pens, but rule of thumb is always go for a darker ink if you want a vibrant color.Also a tip for beginners: This is a watery consistency. It is great for fountain pens (ones that use cartridges or converters) not so great for dip pens. Try to get a thicker ink such as India inks.

Attached some various inks that I have on hand to show the difference. This is my favorite! It's so bright and a perfect mix of purple and pink!It writes smooth, doesn't feather, or bleed through even on cheap paper. The photo is on everyday copy paper.

Nice color ink - but I have a hard time justifying expensive inks

While I love getting new ink I was looking forward to this one for a while, as soon as i loaded it into a pen and started writing with it i noticed that it is very smooth and doesnt feather or bleed through the pages unless you are using a very common paper like a copy paper or plain ruled note taking paper. With these lesser papers it does not stay as tight as a heavy bonded sheet and can look a little less clean.I know most people who will use this ink will use a thick writing paper under their pen but for the common person I was hoping for it to be able to transition from fancy paper to pauper paper with no noticeable change it lettering size or quality. This was not the case which is the only reason I did not give it 5 stars, in my school environment i need ink that can go from page to page and look the same like my Waterman or Mont Blanc inks which i tested side by side and noticed less "bleed" around the letters.All in all a very fine ink, looks majestic on a stark sheet of paper, although I think I would have preferred a little more violet in the ink, it has almost a plum color look to it on the page but that is a personal preference, and in the long run I am sure I am better off with this; than a middle school gel pen colored purple that jumps off the page instead of eases off like this one does.

J. Herbin ink is perfect. I recently used their 'Perle Noire' shade in four fountain pens that had begun to skip and stutter, with a disturbing scratchy sound (filled with Jinhao cartridges or 'Winsor & Newton Calligraphy Ink' in converters). I'll never use them in a fountain pen again.... Concerned for my writing instruments, I rinsed each nib and cartridge until the cool water ran clear. Drying the nib gently with tissue and wiping the inside with a QTip, I filled them with my J. Herbin ink -- and observed the improvement in each pen's performance after only a few lines, as the point seemed to slowly remember how it loved to float across the page, leaving a fine trail of ink in its wake. I couldn't wait to try this brand in colors other than 'Black Pearl,' so I rinsed and changed the ink in one pen as soon as this arrived. As each line dried, I watched the color change from dark, neutral grey/brown to deep bronze with a soft patina that made me long for cream colored paper. This color has been compared to the line produced by a soft pencil and I can see the merit of that comparison, but under bright light, I find a subtle hint of green that makes me think of bronze. I could go on, but I need to order some cream-colored paper!

J. Herbin is officially my favorite fountain pen ink. They have such rich, lush, juicy ink and colors. It writes like a dream.This one is Cassis (fruit) and is a beautiful Red-Violet and writes beautifully. Even in my old Parker with a slightly scratchy nib! The seller delivered a safely wrapped up package very quickly.

Le flacon est livré dans un carton d'emballage fin mais bien orné, revêtu d'une fine pellicule imperméabilisée. On le découvre (5 cm de côté sur une même hauteur) dans un verre épais et transparent (vue permanente sur le niveau d' encre). Le goulot n' est pas trop étroit (environ 2 cm de diamètre intérieur) et permet d'y plonger la plume afin de remplir le convertisseur d' encre. Un côté présente une forme discrètement incurvée pour y délaisser le stylo. L 'encrier ne s' avère pas parfait à l' utilisation, surtout en fin d' approvisionnement. Mais il est déjà très stable, un point non négligeable.- - -Spécificités des encres J. Herbin :- Compositions d'origine naturelle.- Transparence pour la majorité des coloris. Excepté pour "Perle noire".- Finesse, très bonne fluidité.- Douceur de glisse, lubrification de la plume.- Séchage assez rapide. Les impatients (et) gauchers apprécieront.- Bonne tenue à la lumière et dans le temps.- Résistance moyenne à l'eau."Lie de thé" est un marron sépia moyen. Il demeure bien lisible tracé, réceptif aux ombrages. Son intensité fluctue et trouve, au plus clair de ses formes une belle luminosité. Je lui trouve comme un triple équilibre "intensité-éclat-transparence" particulièrement bien réussi. Les écritures sont bercées jusqu'aux limites de chaque équilibre, vivantes sans ostentation, avec une personnalité subtile, agréable à découvrir.A l'instar du "Lierre sauvage", de la "Terre de feu", "Lie de thé" est aux couleurs d' éléments naturels. J. Herbin y est assez fidèle à travers son nuancier."Lie de thé" représente à mes yeux une belle encre de contrastes : chauds, lumineux, intenses, profonds, discrets' Dormant dans un joli flacon aux airs d' antan, l' ensemble n' en est plus que charmant.Les couleurs sont délicates. La plume les choisit en fonction de ses interlocuteurs et au gré de ses inspirations. Elle se pare d'une robe en chaque occasion.- - -Ci-dessous, un aperçu de quelques encres J. Herbin. Attention : il est effectué avec une plume calligraphique (au porte-plume) de 1 mm et non un stylo-plume fin. Les tonalités, effets' varient considérablement en fonction de la façon d'écrire de tout un chacun, la perception (réglage de l'écran itou), des stylos-plumes, de la qualité du papier utilisée, etc'

Fantastic ink. Glorious shading, deep hue, an absolute pleasure to use. Straight into my top five!

Ich verschreibe die Tinte J. Herbin Poussière De Lune mit einem Lamy 2000 (B) und einem Diplomat Aero (M). Zwar war ich angesichts des poetischen Namens (Mondstaub) und angesichts einiger begeisterter Rezensionen von einem geheimnisvolleren Farbton ausgegangen, und nicht von dem dunklen ruhigen Violett mit einem Tropfen Oxblood, das ich nun auf dem Papier sehe. Technisch aber ist die Tinte wirklich gut: Sie fließt gut in die Feder, schreibt sich angenehm leicht, zerläuft nicht auch auf einfachem Papier, und sättigt gut. Kurzum: Alltagstauglich.Das Tintenglas (30 ml) jedoch ist nicht so geschickt gemacht; es dürfte nur mit einer Spritze ganz zu leeren sein.

Da ich den "Kurt-Tucholsky-Style" bevorzuge, schreibe ich mit meinem Füller ausschließlich mit violetter Tinte. Bisher habe ich eine andere Tinte verwendet, deren Farbton beim Schreiben sehr schön ist. Nach dem Antrocknen jedoch dunkelt die Tinte sehr nach und sieht eher dunkelblau als violett aus. Auf der Suche nach Alternativen stieß ich beim Stöbern auf j. Herbin. Der Name des Produktes ließ mich die Tinte sofort in den Warenkorb packen! Farblich bin ich von etwas mehr Violett und etwas weniger Mondstaub ausgegangen, was allerdings auch schwer ist, bei DEM Namen genau die Vorstellung zu erfüllen. Es wirkt eher wie ein dunkles Altrosa. In meinem Waterman läuft die Tinte wirklich hervorragend, die Feder gleitet viel besser und das Schriftbild ist sehr harmonisch. Die Tinte trocknet rasant ab. Auch bei längerer Schreibpause muss man nicht erst den Tintenfluss "anregen", die Tinte ist immer betriebsbereit. Bei meiner sehr schwungvollen Unterschrift habe ich nun keine Aussetzer mehr. Ich bin rundum zufrieden, Preis - Leistungsverhältnis ist top.Ich habe mir noch Cassis bestellt ;)

Ci sono inchiostri molto belli che però lasciano molti residui, ci sono inchiostri che non lasciano residui ma hanno colori poco intensi... gli Herbin hanno il pregio di essere vivi, intensi, con bei colori, essendo allo stesso tempo molto "educati". Non lasciano residui, non intasano. Adatti anche a stilografiche vintage.Questo verde è particolarmente bello: non è troppo chiaro, è un verde intenso piuttosto scuro ed elegante (ma non scuro al punto di essere un verde-nero, per intenderci). Verde scuro puro senza tonalità fredde.
