Jacques Herbin Bleu Des Profondeurs - 30ml Bottled Ink

Jacques Herbin Bleu Des Profondeurs was a gift for my grandson along with a LAMY dialog cc. He had told me he was searching for his favorite blue ink. I bought him Noodler’s 54th Massachusetts also just to give him more choices.

This ink is very close to several blue black samples I have tried…perhaps slightly brighter (barely)

A very good deep blue black ink. -with perhaps a bit of purple undertone too. I have this in a Lamy 2000 with a rather fat medium nib. This has been my go to blue for awhile. It’s a beautiful blue with authority. I might be swapping it into my Pilot Custom 823 which has a much finer writing medium. then go with the Rue de Verrerier in the Lamy, it’s a more open blue by comparison. J.Herbin does a nice job with blue inks and the two mentioned are my favorites. They compliment each other nicely. This ink despite being rather saturated and dark, I don’t see any issue with bleeding through on either Midori or Clairefontaine. A great blue a strong value
