Extra Fine Nib Ink Review: Jacques Herbin Gris Orage
This is review #216 in my series. Here's the YouTube video:
Post-recording notes: Cleaning was quick and easy, but as usual, will take more time if you want to get all the glitter out. I had to floss after 1 day, and floss + prime the feed after ~3.5 days. This grey is pretty neutral (not cool or blue-leaning, not warm or brown-leaning). If there's shading, the glitter hides it. This ink likes to stain skin and is harder to remove than many inks.
Zoomed in photo (This is an almost perfect match to the color I see on the page.)
Screenshot (This seems a little too cool / blue.)
Scan of Completed Review (A little too cool / blue to my eyes.)
Absorbent Paper Close-up (top is puzzle paper like thick newsprint, bottom is old 20lb copy paper) (Both are very close to what I see. We were having a serious glitter moment when I made these. )
Line width (One of the lines used for dry time. Magnification is 100x. The grid is 100x100µm. The scale is 330µm, with eleven divisions of 30µm each. The line width for this ink is roughly 291µm. With 216 inks measured, the average line width is 295µm.)
Microscope image (100x. Glitter particles are in many colors, yet only gold is seen when writing.)
