Ink Review #1423: Jacques Herbin 350 Vert Atlantide

Jacques Herbin recently started a new shimmer collection called 350 with a debut ink called Jacques Herbin 350 Vert Atlantide. I purchased my bottle of ink from Pen Chalet (aff. link).

The bottle:

Vert Atlantide is available in a square 50ml bottle.

The color:

Vert Atlantide is a dark forest green with both gold and silver shimmer.

Swabs:

In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink looks darker with some black sheen.

Writing samples:

Let's take a look at how the ink behaves on fountain pen friendly papers: Rhodia, Tomoe River, and Leuchtturm.

Dry time: 15 seconds

Water resistance: Medium

Feathering: Low

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: Low

Other properties: medium shading, tiny black sheen, and gold and silver shimmer.

On Staples 24 lb copy paper there was some feathering in most nib sizes but just a few dots of bleeding.

Comparison Swabs:

Vert Atlantide is a little darker than Robert Oster Peppermint Candy. Click here to see the J Herbin inks together, and click here to see the green inks together.

Longer writing:

I used a Pilot Custom 74 Forest Green with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had an average flow.

Overall, I kinda love the gold and silver mixed shimmer. It performed pretty well while being a nice dark green. The shimmer is more subtle than J Herbin’s other inks but I kinda love it.
