Jacques Herbin Diabolo Menthe - 30ml Bottled Ink

Gorgeous Color

I bought this on a whim because of a review that said it matched the Piña Colada LAMY Safari (which I also bought on a whim) and it's true! It's readable, but light, and I'm suspecting it would look and behave differently coming out of a broader nib (I was using a fine nib at the time). It shades beautifully, though, and I'm a sucker for mint and turquoise, so I love it. Can't wait to experiment with it on different papers with different nibs!

Great wash color

I made a wash of this ink color and covered a page with it. Then I wrote over the wash with the North African Violet ink. It's a match made in heaven!!!

Great color, few to no smudges

This a a beautiful color ink that I have no complaints with. It dries quickly and I've had no problems with smudges. I put it in a newly purchased pen, so I can't speak on flow though as I'm still getting used to the pen. The color is a tad lighter than I expected, but otherwise it's great.
