Couple of inks.

Just received a couple of inks that I thought might interest members.

First up is a Sailor ink.

The background of the label that has Sailor written on it is silver, hence the reflection of the writing on the paper, never noticed it at first.






Next is J Herbin.

Thanks for showing the inks Dave! How fast do they dry? Looks to me the Sailor has very nice shading while the Rouge is pretty much fully saturated with a little bit of orange tint?

Thank you fellas, the Sailor is quite quick drying, the J Herbin took quite a lot longer to dry, and does have a hint of orange.
