So I was bored tonight so inked up my FP's (and MB rollerball) will all the different colors I have and made one sample of them all... enjoy! I just ordered J. Herbin Poussiere De Lune and the J. Herbin 340th anniversary ink. Anyone got any new stuff to share? (i.e. pens, inks, anything?)

Lion · 30 July 2010, 01:36 AM

Nick, Thanx for sharing and I'm glad you had fun!!!

Bisquitlips · 1 August 2010, 12:27 AM

Very good Nick!

These ink samplings are very valuable to those who know FP's.

Lol-x · 1 August 2010, 12:37 AM

I like that Lexinton Grey

I'm interesting in trying the new Oyster Grey that Montblanc have just released.
I didn't know that Montblanc did a green Rollerball...maybe they don't import that colour into Australia.

Good to know.

I am likin that Bordeaux !

Bisquitlips · 1 August 2010, 02:00 AM

The MB Bordeaux is superb!

nickriebe · 1 August 2010, 07:29 AM

Thanks all! Here are my new additions i just recieved today... the Poussiere De Lune is incredible! Havnt tried the anniversary edition yet but it is a very dark red.

2careless · 1 August 2010, 07:51 AM

Very very nice! The 1670 ink is my favourite red!

That bottle is just too beautiful to break the seal!

nickriebe · 1 August 2010, 10:01 AM

I know! Luckily enough, no need to break the seal... its not part of the cap so it can remain the way it is. I will post some writing samples as soon as I ink up one of my pens with it.

nickriebe · 2 August 2010, 01:44 AM

Writing sample of the J. Herbin Poussiere De Lune ink... Really love the deep purple color.

nickriebe · 2 August 2010, 07:02 AM

Sample of the J. Herbin 1670 Anniversaire ink... really love the color!

ParisDakarBmw · 2 August 2010, 08:55 AM

Looks great! I've been wrestling with the idea of a new pen. Your thread is tempting me again.

Latrodectus · 2 August 2010, 09:43 AM

That J. Herbin "red" looks very nice to me.

JBat · 2 August 2010, 04:32 PM

Nice Nick. I have the Poussiere de Lune and like it a lot myself. I keep my Pelikan inked up with it. I bought some Herbin Lierre Sauvage (ivy green) a couple of week ago and I really like that; been using it every day since. It's a beautiful, rich green color. I also have some of the 1670 on the way and I'm looking forward to using that.

In general, I really like the Herbin inks I've tried so far. They all have excellent writing characteristics and the palette of colors is very appealing. I'll try to get some samples of the Lierre Sauvage and Bleu Nuit soon.

2careless · 2 August 2010, 06:29 PM

The thing I like J. Herbin ink is that they are all natural ingredients and they are very friendly to the pen. Usually it only takes 5-6 flushes and the pen is all cleared, whilst some of the MB inks can take forever to clear (e.g. MB Violet, Ruby Red, White Forrest).

Lol-x · 2 August 2010, 06:32 PM

The Montblanc Violet does take a long time to flush out.
Last time it took me 3 days

sitting in a glass of water that I replaced several times.

Lion · 3 August 2010, 12:34 AM

I really enjoy using MontBlanc's Bordeaux(currently in the pen I'm using) and the Oyster Grey. I too have had ink which is hard to flush out I do not know the brand because it was in a pen I bought at Paradise Pen during their open house. But it was a dark purple and took about a half an hour to thoroughly flush out the ink(from the convertor) so I could fill it with Oyster Grey!!!

nickriebe · 4 August 2010, 12:11 AM

I know the Noodler's Lexington Gray is really nice... have not tried the MB Oyster Gray but I'd like to!

Lion · 4 August 2010, 12:48 AM

Guys the Oyster Grey is very cool and when I carry two fountain pens one is filled with MB Bordeaux and the other with MB Oyster Grey!!!

RPB · 10 August 2010, 05:27 AM

What does the grey ink look like on paper? Any samples?
