Thanks for the nice rewiew, Betty.

 

Interesting, I have a bottle of black (with brownish hue) CdA ink here which I purchased a few years ago here in Germany,. It has a different shape (more like Pelikan), no J. Herbin, no manufacurer specified, only the brand itself on the label.

You can see actualy the form of the old bottle on yours by the label, which is still old style. :blink:

 

I haven't looked for changes of the bottles and manufacturers here since then, though :blink:

Oh, I did see one bottle of the old design! I was wondering how come that bottle was different from the others.

 

What a slight disappointment when I discovered the "herbin" imprint on the bottom of the bottom when I got home. I was so excited about trying a new brand too!

Hi,

 

That reminds me of when I read something that said, "We hope the next pen you buy is from Sanford." Then, I went to the store, and the next 10 pens, sure enough were Parkers, Rotrings, Watermans and Sensas. :blink:

Has anyone tried this against the PR Blue Suede? It seems to be in the same "family" and I wonder how they compare. (I've never seen Caran d'Ache inks in the UK, though I did, as a child, have a set of their water-soluble coloured pencils!!)

Andrew,

 

PR Blue Suede is a little bluer than the J. Herbin ink. It is a beautiful color, very vibrant, the best turquoise I own IMHO.

 

Nice review Betty, is this a scan or a photo?

The Herbin ink is more on the green side Andrew, and Larry, it's a photo. It's a hassle to get my scanner out and plug it up.
