Violet 01 - Hieronymus

[visvamitra]

Hieronymus Stationers Ag is Suisse company that specialises in the manufacture and sale of premium stationery goods (paper, pens, inks). The company is located in Zurich but operates also via the website www.hieronymus-cp.com. They offer a wide variety of luxury products and I believe they market themselves skillfully and in an elegant way. I advice you to watch short promotional clips on their internet site.

Among other products Hieronymus offers inks. I'm not sure who makes them for you but the bottles are unique and loos stunning on the photos:

The inks are definitely priced premium - with the price of 48 CHF they outclass Caran d'Ache and Iroshizuku inks. I believe only Luis Vuitton inks are more expensive (50 euros / bottle)? If I'm wrong, please, correct me.

I've received few samples of their inks. I won't tell you which ones, lety it be surprise The inks I've already reviewed are:

1. Blue 01
2. Blue 02
3. Brown 02
4. Dark Grey
5. Green 01
6. Violet 01

Violet 01 isn't bad. Only it's not really violet.

That is no violet.

[ethernautrix]

Not a violet, no, but a pretty blue.

[gmax]

Wow, there's not even a hint of violet in that! It looks a bit like Herbin Bleu Nuit.

 

Thanks for the review, and for saving me a lot of money

[mehandiratta]

thank you for review....

Thanks for the review! How interesting these inks are. I would buy this as a beautiful shading, and probably sheening, dark blue, while the Blue 01 looks more like a true blue-black, like Shin-kai.

This color really speaks to me. I'll have to find something similar, maybe in De Atramentis or KWZI inks.
