J. Herbin - Éclat De Saphir

[tuintu]

 

Hi all,

 

Four-year pause, I am back to the forum at last.

 

And i'd like to introduce you my first ever ink review. Actually it's not a review, it's just a scribble. I am a true amateur and sorry for my terrible handwriting. Next time i'll try macro shoot. By the way if the topic is inappropriate, moderators can move it or delete...

 

J. Herbin Eclat de Saphir is my second ink after Waterman Absolute Brown.

and the pen is also my favourite type, Scrikss 17 with a Fine nib.

 

Hope you like it...

Thanks for the review / scribble.😉 This is one of my favorite inks, especially with a nice wet, broad nib.

Yea. I'm glad you brought it to our attention. Now I have ink up a pen with some...lol.

I hesitated to get this ink at first, because of the lack of water resistance. But I finally broke down and got it a couple of years ago and just love it. I ran it for several months in a Parker 61 with the capillary filler, because it had zero clogging issues (now I'm thinking I really should bite the bullet and get one of the 100 ml bottles... because the small bottle isn't going to last forever...).

Thanks for your opinions. Me also thinking about J. Herbin "Rose Cyclamen" as my next ink model in my collection. That brand is really addictive due to its wide model range. Really difficult to choose among them.
