Herbin Orange Indien


girlieg33k

Recommended Posts

I started a new rotation of pens this week. While I was inking pens, I decided to handwrite a few mini-reviews on each ink, with swab samples. To save time, I scanned everything, so colors may vary depending on your monitor. I'm limited to posting 600pix wide images here, but click on the image or the link below it to view the full-size scanned image. The full-sized image may give a better, sharper representation of each ink color.

One of my daily ink. I've been correcting with this colour for 2 years.

The new Caran d'Ache saffron is growing on me, but the price of Herbin ink is more suitable for corrections.

 

Thanks

A perfect Fall ink! Nice!

I really like that color. I hope to try it in My dolce Vita. I have to get first. Will order a bottle tomorros. Thanks for the review.

 

 

The Dolcevita really cries out for orange ink at this time of year, doesn't it? My Dolcevita Oversize gets filled with Noodlers Habanero as soon as the leaves start to turn. I'm thinking that might be in about two weeks here in Washington DC.....

I like this ink a lot, and often use it for markup work at the office, where it has two nice features:

 

- nobody else uses a colour even close, so everyone knows who did the edit

- by playing with photocopier settings, it's possible to avoid having it picked up / picked up and printed black

- last but not least, the colour cheers me up a lot on a boring edit!

 

It "lives" in my bottom-of-the-barrel Waterman plastic student pen.

Very intriguing. Very! Between that note and the review, I now need ANOTHER ink. *sigh*

 

Thank you for this wonderful run of reviews, girlieg33k. Very well done and highly appreciated!! Some of the reviews have saved me from buying inks I wouldn't end up liking, so really the reviews that make me buy inks don't cost anything (I keep telling my wife that, anyway...) :rolleyes:

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
