As a huge fan of J. Herbin inks, I was thrilled to learn about five new standard inks introduced in 2018. I've got the bottles and I'll review them shortly.

New inks come in standard J. Herbin glass bottles that contain 30 ml of the writing fluid.

CdT is a decent, moderately saturated ink. I dislike the color, but appreciate the behaviour. I won't judge you if you buy a bottle.

Nah... I’m a hot pink kind of guy. This one is too lame...

Aha... then it might be my kind of colour :-)

But no, pink inks are not for me (at least for writing, but this one looks like a nice pastel colour for drawing)

I'm not a bright-pink/fucsia kind of woman, I prefer the pastel tones of pink, so this is right up my alley.

Since Sailor's inflated prices I gave up on Sakura-Mori, but this looks like it could be a great substitute.

Thank you for the review! ^^

I'll pass on this one. If it's as orange as Michael R's picture, then that is my death color. As in the color that makes me look like death warmed over if I wear it.

 

I don't look good in many oranges as it is, but that one is especially unflattering. I've hated it all my life for that reason.

This one I'd have to see in person, so it's a "maybe" for me. Depends on how orange it ends up really being.

Thanks for the review.

Well, that's good about the behavior bummer about the lack of saturation.

Thank you for the wonderful review as always.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

I came here because I was looking for a coral ink, and this one looks just pink to me. Michael's sample looks much more like what I was looking for. I'm not sure whether I'll end up buying one of not. If so, I'd try the 10 ml bottle, or maybe the cartridges, to see whether it's the pink or coral shade when seen in person.

I received my 10ml today and man is this ink hard to photograph. It goes down a little warmer than it dries but is definitely a lobstery, pastel, true coral to my eyes. This pic is colour correct on my s9 phone screen but other screens may vary of course:

Eesh that pic came out really dark on here but it looks just like Michael R's picture in person.

      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
