J. Herbin: Rouge Opera

[Signum1]

Another round of ink reviews with a broad nib. The guest of honour for tonight is the Rouge Opera from J. Herbin. Enjoy.

Thanks for the review. I use this as one of my staple red inks. I enjoy the fact that it has no orange tint, as so many reds seem to have.

Thank you. This ink reminds me a bit of De Atramentis Carmine Red, which I quite like. I shall have to try this in the future to get a side-by-side comparison (unless someone who currently has both inks can express an opinion).

Excellent review! I'm going to have to figure out how to get my ink pusher Strang to send me a sample...

Great review, and very nice ink!

Where do you buy your J.Herbin inks in T.O.? and how much do they cost?

Thanks.

Grigio,

 

You can visit Laywine's in Toronto (by Bloor and Bay) to purchase J.Herbin. The sticker price is $12.50, but there is a 20% that is on now. The sale ends on May 31, 2009.

Nicely done, thanks! ;-)

Good review, and I like seeing the wider nibs used for the tests. The Rouge Opéra is currently my "go-to correction red colour" in my work, as it's a pretty straightforward red without the ofttimes found pink or orange tints.

Great italic hand, Signum!

 

I like to use J. Herbin inks in my wet M, B and BB nibs. The colors might be somewhat muted but the quality of the shading is marvelous. I think your review demonstrates that quality in this specific ink. Well done.
