Dating back to a small boutique in Paris in 1700, Herbin Fountain Pen Ink is one of the best in the world, both in smoothness of writing and breadth and brilliance of colour palette. Replicating the colour of the fragrant reseda plant, Vert Reseda is an interesting, bright mix of teal, light green and yellow tones. It produces moderate shading and darkens as you use ivory and darker-coloured papers. All Herbin inks are pH neutral and non-toxic. They are water-based and therefore will run if wetted. The inks are light fast and only natural dyes are used. We recommend high quality paper with Herbin Ink.
