Herbin Bottled Fountain Pen Ink, 10ml - Periwinkle Blue

Whether in bottles of cartridges, Herbin inks write as smooth as silk and its ink colour is always consistent. I have an OHTO Tasche pocket fountain pen that only takes cartridges, so these Herbin ink cartridges are perfect for my need.The 6 cartridges came in a nice little aluminium lidded container, alas not screwed, but otherwise good. I've always trusted Herbin and Waterman inks, too. Very good value, great fountain pen ink.

Great quality ink. So lovely to have these smaller bottles to try out before buying the larger sizes for the colours that are favourites..

Wonderful pink ink. These small bottles are very useful to take out and about. So easy to refill my pen in the upright shape.

Good enough and as fountain pen ink unexceptionable, but something seems to have gone awry in translation: this tint isn't burgundy, at least to my eye. It's on the violet side of red. Rouge bourgogne is available in bottles but not, it appears, in cartridges. There's the rub.

Monsieur Herbin's inks are all amazing - the colour swatch, downloadable from the company's own website, is a work of art in itself. If you want brown/sepia, Herbin offers more than one shade and this one is probably the closest to black. Other shades offer a warmer, terracotta shade. Take your pick! And the aluminium container is both protective and attractive. A design classic. Oh and did I mention that the ink is top quality, giving a very smooth writing experience?

Good quality ink. Delivered quickly. Unusual colour, a dark purple which is different without looking unprofessional.

Very happy with these cartridges for my new pen.

Good product that does exactly what is expected.
