Jacques Herbin – Gris Galet Ink Review # 225 Originally posted on FPN: Jan 30, 2026 --- 🧾 Description Ink: Gris Galet Brand: Jacques Herbin Country: France Available: 10/30 ml bottles. Pens Used: Pilot Kakuno EF, Lamy (EF/F/M/B/ Stub 1.1) , Noodler’s Nib creaper with a Waterman W2 vintage flex nib. Jacques Herbin Gris Galet (Grey Pebbles) is part of a new series of inks, presented in J Herbin 10 ml and 30 ml bottles. This is the darkest grey ink in the Herbin lineup. The dark green and turquoise visible in the chromatography create a lovely grey that depending on the paper can veer from neutral grey to blue-black. It has lovely shading, ranging from subtle on Rhodia to extreme on Iroful. The ink is wet with slightly below average lubrication depending on the nib size. It sings with B nibs. There is some show-through and bleed-through on copy paper, but despite that it looks gorgeous....
