Hey Ryan, thanks for reviewing this ink. I always wondered what it looked like! It's a pretty color, but I don't think I could use it for too much writing. That page-full is about all I could stand at one time! But it would be nice for a here-and-there color for some little details... I really like Herbin inks, even if I don't use them for writing. I use them more like watercolors sometimes - the really light shades are beautiful!

 

Thanks!!

Thanks for the review, Ryan. I was also curious to see what this one is like. It looks quite similar to Diamine Sepia on my monitor.

Herbin Amber (right) is significantly lighter than Diamine Sepia (left) and noticeably more yellow (although the Sepia is quite a yellowy brown).

Thanks for the review. Interesting color.

Thanks for the review Ryan.

 

I have used this ink but, as you indicated, it's a bit hard on the eyes to go back to notes made in this colour. What freaked me out - at first - was that it applies quite a bit lighter than it dries. I felt like I was using invisible ink until it dried on the page.

good review thanks

 

not one I would use at the moment

 

the 'earwax' comment struck a cord with me and now I cant get it out of my head

So I'm opinionated - get over it!!.......No, really - get over it!!

Hmmmm I was going to put up a WANTS list - but that's too long as well ......

This Amber took a while for me to get used to, and I've run out -- but when I see it in my notes, I rather enjoy it. Maybe I'll try the Diamine Sepia. It's not so garish.

Great review, thanks.

And how can this be, because he is the Kwisatz Haderach.

This is an ink color I like; mostly because it is pretty unique in terms of color.

 

I really need to compare it to the Diamine Sepia one day.

 

Many thanks

That looks remarkably similar to the vial of Lie de Thé I diluted 1:1 with water.

I've got this ink and mine is quite a different color, and a very special one it is, like a sunset after a bright golden day. One of my favorites and one of the genuine few in the market.

 

Thanks for the review, is a great ink!

      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
