Pif - J. Herbin Orange Indien Ink Giveaway


ErrantSmudge

Recommended Posts

It's time for another Ink Giveaway PIF!

I am giving away a nearly full bottle of J. Herbin Orange Indien ink. This ink is similar to the OMAS Orange I gave away in an earlier PIF, but is a little less saturated.

Here are the rules:

1) United States only.

2) Winners of my previous PIFs (Levenger and OMAS inks) are not eligible for this PIF.

3) Everyone who posts on this thread saying they want the ink through Tuesday, January 3, 2017 is eligible.

4) On January 4, 2017 I'll post here to close the PIF and everyone ahead of me in the thread will be entered. I'll select a winner using the random number generator at random.org. I'll list the winner here, and contact them via PM to set up shipment.

5) You can enter as many of my PIFs as you want, but you can win only one. In the event the same FPN member wins two PIFs, I'll ask you to choose which you want. I'll draw another name to win the other prize.

6) I will ship to the winner for free, in exchange for a letter or postcard from you containing handwritten samples of your five favorite ink colors. Or, you can pay for shipping, whichever you prefer. (I will ship via USPS).

7) Winners who don't respond to my PM within three days after close of the PIF will forfeit their winning. I'll draw again to find another winner.

Here is a writing sample of the ink.

Include me, if you please. I love the understated elegance of the Herbin.

I'm brand new to the Pen hobby, having just bought my first Lamy Safari about two weeks ago, and tomorrow my Lamy Al-Star will arrive. I only have three inks on hand at the moment, but I hope to expand my ink collection, as well. This is why I am asking to be included in your PIF. Please consider me.

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Current Pen Inventory:

Lamy Safari (Black, M Nib), Lamy Al-Star (Blue, B Nib), TWSBI Eco (Demonstrator, Stub 1.1 Nib)

Of course you're added to the list!

 

I've been using fountain pens since the late '90s, and one of my first pens was a yellow Lamy Safari. I still have that pen - it's currently inked with Noodler's Purple - as well as a Vista, and a blue Safari I purchased just two months ago. The Safari is truly one of the best fountain pens ever made and I always have at least one in use.

      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
