Jacques Herbin — Fontaine des Quatre-Parties Du Monde   Ink Review # 271   Ink:  Fontaine des Quatre-Parties Du Monde Series:  Couleurs de Paris Brand:  Jacques Herbin Country:  France Availability:  10 ml, 30 ml bottles. Pens Used:  Pilot Kakuno EF Blue, Lamy Safari (EF, F, M, B, 1.1), Karas Kustoms Vertex Description This review is of the last of the 3 new  Couleur de Paris  inks by Jacques Herbin. This is a lovely new ink. Lubrication varies from adequate to below-average depending on the pen used. Its flow is average with excellent shading. It doesn’t like copy paper, like most Herbin inks. The 10 ml bottles are not easily available in North America. I got mine from Fountainfeder in Germany. The ink is named after La Fontaine des Quatre-Parties-du-Monde in Paris.

It’s an homage to Passage des Panoramas in the 2nd arrondissement of Paris. This is a very dark brown, wet, well-lubricated ink. With a wet pen it’ll look black, and with a dry pen, auch as a Lamy you can appreciate the lovely brown-grey color.

Jacques Herbin — Bistro Parisien   Ink Review # 266   Ink:  Bistro Parisien Series:  Couleurs de Paris (Colors of Paris) Brand:  Jacques Herbin Country:  France Availability:  10 ml, 30 ml bottles.  Pens Used:  Osmiroid Copperplate EEF flex, Lamy Safari (EF, F, M, B, 1.1) Description This is one of three new inks added to the  Couleurs de Paris  collection.  It’s a tribute to the Parisian bistros. I got my sample from Fountainfeder in Germany.  With a dry pen it’s a lovely, luminous red, with a wet pen it is a lovely red-black with gorgeous shading. It has no water resistance. It made my Osmiroid nib sing; however, with Lamy nibs the lubrication was slightly below-average to excellent, depending on the nib size. This ink has become one of my favorites for artwork and sketching. The range of tones I can extract from it is endless.
