Jacques Herbin Rouge d'Orient - 50ml Bottled Ink

Rich blue-based red

This Rouge d’Orient ink has quickly become my ‘go-to’ red. It’s only real competitor, for me, is Diamine’s Oxblood. Rouge d’Orient is smooth, and dries quickly, feathers only slightly. It works in a range of fountain pens across multiple nib sizes.

Great ink

I really enjoy the ink, it is a nice "flat" red. Writes smoothly out of my Pilot Metro. and Platinum Prefounte. I use it writing notes in school and also have written a few letters to pen-pals. I got it with the Surprise Me sample pack, going to have to buy a bottle sometime soon!

Perfect shade of red

This ink writes smoothly and deeply. The ink also doesn’t shade too much, which is preferable for journaling.
