J.herbin 1670 Emerald De Chivor

Recommended Posts

I tried this ink and it was not for me. One fill gone, seal broken, otherwise like new, in box.

 

It is spectacular with the right nib, the right paper, (very very picky about paper -- tomoe river appears to be the best for it), and excellent pen hygiene. Otherwise, it is just a boring flat teal color. Not recommended for vintage pens.

Free but you pay shipping please. CONUS only.

I'll pick your name out of a hat (unless there's only one!)

It seems like it is an ink for Calligraphy only, like Hero 234 Carbon Black. The Herbin ink looks to have fantastic sheen, given the right pen, nib and paper combination. We've all bought inks that were a mistake. Thank goodness for the sample bottle.

I really do not like Teal. A predjudice come about as a result of encountering that shade far too often when looking at Blue/Blacks.

Thank you, not an entry

just commenting Dip n Scratch post to say how much I agree with that statement, I'm allergic to teal...I see hints of teal everywhere in blue and black inks (and blue-blacks) and need to stay away from it!...

Understand the teal aversion. Not my favorite color, but I tried Emerald...Chivor on Yupo and the results were intriguing.

Love all, trust a few, do harm to none. Shakespeare

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
