Well I've resolved the J. Herbin Cacao du Bresil mystery. The fine folks at Exaclair/Quo Vadis in New York sent a replacement bottle of CdB after I emailed them a copy of the scan shown above. The new ink is the color CdB is supposed to be, shown below - swabs done on 25% rag content paper. They believe my initial bottle was from a "bad batch", and were very gracious in replacing it with a bottle of correctly colored ink. Yay! This scan shows that CdB is more clearly within the sepia tones shown at the top of this thread.

I am still waiting to resolve the issue I had with Stipula Sepia and, assuming that resolves the way I think it will, I will hopefully amend the images at the beginning of this thread, and in the Part 2 thread, to show the correct colors.

 

Edited to add - Thanks for all the really nice comments from everyone. I am still working on this to be sure it is as accurate as possible.

Well...that stinks. I received a "Bad Batch" recently that was more purple-grey than brown. 
I've since stopped using it, as I have no use for purple-grey when I had been searching for Brown-grey.
Not a drop of "Cacao" anywhere in that du-Bresil...lol. 
Anyway, "R&K SEPIA" has solved the problem. 😁

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      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

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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
