I can just play with the bottle as I love the color so much. Performs best in wet larger nibs, clearly not a shocker. These Herbin inks Ive been a fan of and I dont care to use shimmer inks for the maintenance diligence you should use. When you write with it I almost always want an ink splotch to show how great this ink is. I have not used it on a variety of paper types. Regular paper, postit, Maruman and Kokuyo currently are the notebooks in use.

“Kianite du Népal” de Jacques Herbin serie 1798. Tinta de color azul luminoso y claro en la gama del Cian (de ahí si nombre –Cianita-) con polvo plateado. Creo que es uno de los tres azules indispensables junto con un azul-negro (tipo “midnight blue”) y un azul intenso (tipo royal blue”). Este tipo de tintas con “brillantina” es una elección muy personal que no a todos gusta, sin embargo el brillo es muy sutil y a veces casi ni se notaLa tonalidad depende mucho del papel y del plumín utilizado, como todas las tintas, también la dispersión de las partículas plateadas que se concentran (sutilmente) en las partes más “cargadas” del texto, lo que le da una personalidad extra a nuestra escritura.Es una tinta muy fluida que lubrica y desliza sobre el papel muy agradablemente, pero que tarda en secar bastaste. Además en papel muy poroso o de poco gramaje puede traspasar a la otra cara muy fácilmente.Es una tinta espectacular usando un plumín generoso (“B”) y en un buen papel. Con un plumín “EF”, aunque el papel ya no es tan importante, el color pierde mucha personalidad.

This ink does not bleed or leak through the paper it is written on. The ink is true to the color that is shown and does not bleed

It is a simple blue shade , but with a twist and that transcends its simplicity into exquisiteness. Got to shake it thoroughly before filli g and have to fill it within 10 secs max of sgaking the ink pot , else the pigments starts settling and one has to invert the pen a couple of times so that the glitter is evenly distributed in the cartridge before use or intermittently if using it continuously for long.

Amazon made it a bit hard to take a good picture, but the ink is sheening like crazy. I used tomoe river paper of course, I don't think I'd waste this nice ink on any other paper. But it is beautiful, like the night sky.The packaging was a bit worrisome, but it got to me in 1 piece, so I can't complain much about that.Fantastic ink.I put it in my TWSBI Eco since those things are just great with murderous inks.

J. Herbin never disappoints! By far my favorite inks to use! Deep, rich colors and a sophisticated sparkle. I find them to flow smoothly and consistently, regardless of pen or nib. I will say, a broad or 'music' or bent nib are my favorites with this ink, since it allows for more of the metallic flecks to flow onto the page. Paper type and writing style will obviously have an effect on how "glittery" the end result is. As has been noted with other reviews, and not necessarily a bad thing, Cornaline d'Egypte is on the more subtle side. Still beautiful and well worth the price, in my opinion, just less flashy. The anniversary collections are the epitome of what great ink is!

Wonderful ochre color, very smooth to write with out of several different-style nibs. Make sure you shake the bottle up - the sparklies settle to the bottom and need a shake to distribute well.

J. Herbin (and Jacques Herbin) makes fantastic fountain pen inks and this one does not disappoint! The color on this one is incredible and the silver sparkles really stay in suspension for a long time. You do need to rock the bottle before filling your pen, and rock your pen a bit if it's been lying unused, but once that's done you're good to go, unlike some other shimmering inks where you need to continually agitate the pen. I tried a sample of this (bought elsewhere) before investing in the bottle. Yes, it's far more expensive than many inks, but wow, it's lovely. Get a sample first if you're not sure, but if you're a fan of blue and silver and some shading and sheen as well, I think you'll love this one.
