Herbin Fountain Pen Ink - 30ml Bottled - Vert Empire

If you look at the Serial Number on a 2009 series $10 bill, that what this color looks like to me. It feels like old money, military, faded green jeeps from the 50's...I love it! It's loaded in my noodlers Ahab Flex nib pen. It comes out wet but dries with NO feathering on cheap staples printer paper. On this paper there is no bleed with regular writing. At maximum soakage/pressure (remember this is a $20 pen so it takes extra pressure to spread the tines) there are traces of bleed through but you could probably still write on both sides of the page. Shades beautifully making it a good choice for monochromatice sketches and drawing. This is the only green so I have nothing to compare it to. Cons: This not a dark green...in fact it comes out very light when writing quickly with "normal" pressure. However, I just remembered the pen I am testing with. It comes with very conservative flow and you need to hack the nib if you want a gusher. Pros: This ink is great for lettering and drawing where you are looking at, and controlling the amount of ink being laid down on the paper.

Such a beautiful happy color! I checked so many different shades of blues before I decided to get this one. it has caught my attention from the beginning and i kept coming to it.. it is not a deep blue and it is not a very pale blue, when you write with this color, you will see a gorgeous blue, like the blue you see in a swimming pool, and slightly darker than that. I mixed a few drops of this with the 'vert pre' by J. Herbin, and the green that I obtained was magnificent, just the right shade of emerald green, after using the prairie green 'vert pre' which was a bit too light on the white paper, I create the nicest green thanks to this blue. Buy it now and you will love it too. I am loving the J. Herbin products and I bought a few of their shades.. Good quality too.

I have only used montblanc ink in my montblanc fountain pens. I have always been skeptical about using anything else. I dont use other brand of inks for any of my fountain pens be in montblanc pens or not. I purchased this ink because it was the perfect shade of green i had been wanting. But after i got it i was not sure if i wanted to put it in my really expensive fountain pens, so I put it in my cheap lamy and pilot and sailor fountain pen. the flow of the pen and the consistency was so good that it felt better then any montblanc ink i have or any other ink i have. So I highly recommend this ink and brand. Amazing value for money. Absolutely love it.

While not water resistant itt is a beautiful yellow green color

I have other J Herbin inks, like their black pearl and I love them. Bounght the Rouge Caroubier as I wanted a nice red. The ink is just excellent, it flows great and the colour is very nicy. Just one caveat, if you want to use a fine or extra fibe nib, its more pinkish due to the low saturation. But in a medium or broad nib, its golden.

The reason I bought it is because it has neutral pH. I love this color! It reminds me the periwinkles that grow in my yard.

good

Saw this on Mtn of Ink; Thought I might be what I wanted but alas it's just yellow w/ a touch of green. Might be fine for you but it isn't a fit for me.

落ち着いた雰囲気の緑色を探しており、まさに期待した通りの色でした！万年筆らしいインクの濃淡がまた良い味を出してくれます。 (気のせいかもしれませんが、書いた直後と乾いた後で色味が変わる気がします。) ビンの一部が窪んでペン置きになっているのもお気に入りポイントです。30mlを使い切れるか不明ですが、また買いたい品物です。

Fantastic colour with smooth flow and fasting colour. While wet it shows a little darker hue, as it dries turns into bright and lighter shade as shown on the bottle label. I’m loving this olive green ink. I would say the colour is bright Sap Green very slightly towards lemon yellow. I’m using this in my waterman pen. Ink making writing more beautiful and sparkling. Though the higher price is making it expensive, no other quality/reputed brand having the colour. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a quality ink with a unique colour and ready to spend 800+ for 30 ml.

J’ai reçu aujourd’hui trois encres Herbin, et c’était ma première expérience avec cette marque. Je dois dire que j’ai été absolument conquise. J’avais longuement hésité avant de passer commande, car le prix n’est pas négligeable et je ne connaissais pas la qualité. Finalement, je peux affirmer que le prix est totalement justifié. L’encre est d’une fluidité remarquable. J’écris avec des stylos plume Waterman à pointe fine, et le flux est parfaitement maîtrisé : ni trop d’encre, ni bavure, ni effet de “pattes”. L’encre glisse sur le papier avec une légèreté vraiment agréable, sans filer. Concernant les couleurs : • Vert Empire est un vert kaki clair, très élégant, qui donne une touche originale sans être criard. • Les Toits de Paris évoque exactement la teinte des tuiles en ardoise. C’est une couleur douce, pas trop soutenue, qui correspondait parfaitement à ce que je recherchais. • Rouge Bourgogne, enfin, n’est pas un rouge franc comme certains semblent l’attendre. Il s’agit en réalité d’un magnifique rose magenta, très raffiné. Et c’est justement ce que je voulais. Un point important à noter : il faut vraiment se fier à la couleur des étiquettes. Elles reflètent très fidèlement la teinte réelle de l’encre. Si l’étiquette est rose, l’encre sera rose ; si elle est rouge, elle sera rouge. Cela peut paraître évident, mais cela évite bien des malentendus. J’ai rempli mes trois stylos sans le moindre souci. Les encres sont d’une qualité irréprochable, faciles à manipuler et à utiliser. Si vous hésitez encore à cause de certains commentaires négatifs, je vous conseille de ne pas vous arrêter à cela. Pour moi, l’essai est plus que concluant, et je recommanderai sans hésiter.

Unique green colour. Looks great on fountain ink resistant paper like Moleskine, Rhodia or Leuchtturm.

Buena tinta y un color muy bueno. Lo estoy utilizando en una Lamy con plumín fino. Espero probarla con un plumín medio para poder ver ciertos sombreados en las letras.
