Hero 232 Ink Review (With Hero 303 Fp)

[kl122002]

While I was looking for safe ink for old FPs, I came across the Chinese Hero ink. I googled Hero ink and some were reviewed in that past.

But this time it comes in new packing and I wonder have it been changed?

The ink is pretty cheap in HK, 1/3 that of Parker Quink's.

 

Here is my review, also with a Hero 303 FP . (Sorry about some careless spelling)

The ink bottle :

It said the ink would last for 3 years after manufacturing.

Thanks for the review. Hero 232 is one of my favorite inks. It is a very good performing iron gall blue-black ink.

Thank you for the review

You're right, this is an excellent value, quality ink. I would love to se some other colours from them

It seems like a pretty nice true blue-black (iron gall); would be interesting to see how well it works after immersion test; an earlier review did not say much in this respect though.

 

Hero Inks - or to be more precise, Shanghai Ink Factory - has never been specific about the differences between the versions of each colour. The basic blue-black is 202, and there are several ostensibly "higher-end" ones; I do not think anyone has ever conducted an exhaustive comparison between them, and to see if the higher-priced ones justify their extra costs.
