J Herbin Fountain Pen Ink - Amber (Ambre de Birmanie)

J Herbin is the oldest name in pen inks in the world and goes right back to a small boutique on the Rue des Fosses Saint-Germain in Paris in the year 1700. We consider J Herbin Inks to perhaps be the best in the world, both in smoothness of writing and breadth and brilliance of colour pallette.

Ambre de Birmanie is a true amber colour - like a matte gold or caramel. It is well pigmented - a lot of yellow inks lose substance on white paper but J Herbin Amber retains its strength. Amber is a fossilised tree resin and it is for this that this ink is named. It does produce some green tones in the lighter parts but is very rich and caramel in the broader lines.

All J Herbin Inks are pH neutral and non-toxic. They are water-based and therefore will run if wetted. The inks are light fast and and only natural dyes are used. We recommend high quality paper with J Herbin Ink.
