    Post Ink Review: J.Herbin 350th Anniversary ink - "Vert Atlantide"

    (First review...apologies for missing information! If there are any specific demonstration requests, list them and I will attempt to fulfill as requested.)

    Some information: A very deep emerald ink with shading that encompasses all of the colors on US billfold currency.
    Absolutely marvelous flowing ink that gives heavy shading. You will experience 6 different colors of shading within one sentence.

    Flow: In my Penbbs-487 with a heat-treated Ultraflex-xf nib (ultra high flow mod) and Ebonite feed, there were no issues at all with flow. However, with my Penbbs-456 with Ultraflex-xxf nib and Ebonite feed there were significant flow issues. This being a drier ink, I encountered the same level of ink-flow stoppage as with Pelikan 4001 inks. Thankfully I learned the remedy for that ink-flow-issue over the summer and applied it to the ink. Errant flow issues completely gone now.
    I did not do this review with any glitter/shimmer particulate in the ink as I declined to stir the bottle before filling the pen (I syringe-fill most times as the vac fill can be too fiddly for my liking).

    Cleaning: Very low difficulty in cleaning off of hands and pen. Glitter removal was very easy also

    Notes on glitter: The first fill of this ink that I took had TONS of glitter/shimmer in the ink. I ran through that fill just doodling and marvelling at the shine of the ink in the light of my desk lamp. However, I will say that the shine of the glitter/shimmer does decrease the visible depth of the color of this ink...making it appear much lighter than it actually is. This ink, having both Silver and Gold glitter, shows a MUCH greater level of particulate in the ink when it is correctly shaken/stirred before filling and writing. I will attempt to capture this in a follow-up post after I clean the "Lion rock" out of my gusher-487 and load it with a glittery pull of "Vert Atlantide".

    Thanks for the review. Seems like a nice ink. I saw some photos of it, and it went from green grey to green.... Indeed very mysterious......

    Indeed it does! I believe that if you have a medium-broad nib that is normal wetness it will show the shading variation to a much better degree than my xf-xxf nibs.
    It truly is my Holy Grail ink. I need to order a second and third bottle before supplies run out.
