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.

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
