J. Herbin Rose Tendresse

Hello everyone! This is my first ink review. I hope it will be helpful!

 

 

 

 

It comes in a 30 ml bottle. It cost me 7.18 GBP ( 41 RON)

 

 

 

 

 

 

As you can see, it is a pretty light color of pink and depending on the paper it can be hard to read especially if you use F nib. I think the ink looks best when used in a M nib fountain pen. In the F fountain pen I had some problems with starting it up and it writes dry.

 

 

 

 

It dries pretty fast! You can see that the 5 seconds is only a little smudged. After that it is 100% dried.

Not waterproof.

 

 

 

In the first picture you can see the paper I wrote the review on. It is Quablock from Pigna, 80 g/m2. no bleed through.

In the second picture I wrote in a cheap planner with thin paper. you can see a little bleed through.

 

All in all I give this ink an 8/10. It is a pretty pink but not for everyday use. But if you have a wet pen and a special ocasion, give it a try!

Thanks for the nice review. Good start and keep them coming! The paper properties are interesting. I'm not really into pinks but this one's bluishness makes it worth giving it -- as you say -- a try.

I love this color in theory... But I have a bottle of it and I haven't found a situation where it's appropriate yet. :<

 

I think it's a little too light to be easily readable except in particularly wide nibs. (And I tend to prefer fine nibs)

I have this bottle of ink more than two year, still I used once. Its to light for being readable, especially with my fine nibs. maybe will use it to color some paper, don't know. Kind of one of my useless ink.

I tried a sample of this recently and found that I just didn't care for the color. It had too much of a lavender tinge for it to really be "pink" to me. It was a little light -- but more legible than Diamine Kelly Green had been. Mind you, I had Rose Tendresse in a Parker Laidtone with a semi-flex oblique nib).

Oddly, under incandescent light it appears more pink and less lavender. Unlike Iroshihzuku Kosumosu, which I found to be more of a watermelon pink under incandescent light....
