I find Herbin and Waterman inks are very, very well behaved in all my fountain pens. In this case, I think the French do it best!

I have no Waterman but my Emeraude de Chivor is a favourite. The German inks are also very good: deAtramentis, Octopus Fluids, Kaweco, Lamy...and of course the English Diamine. 😇🩷🙏🙌

I think you're right. 😀

In almost 40 years of fountain pen obsession, I fully share your perception about the uniformly good behavior of Waterman and J. Herbin inks.

One of my favourite inks and this video reminded me to ink something up with it.

It's always a treat when an ink exceeds my expectations, and that was the case with this ink. Just looking at writing samples, I would characterize this ink as very unassuming. However, the minute I started writing with it, I knew this ink review was going to be fun. 😀

my preferred paper is the Midori lightweight in my traveler’s notebook: J Herbin caçao du Brésil puts down a nice crisp line in my Pilot prera which now has an EF nib, but when you come back 5min later it’s definitely spread a little (it’s very even and there’s no feathering but it’s definitely a broader line than it appeared at first which is not great); Pilot Iroshizuku inks act likewise on this paper; it works well on all the other paper in my collection including other Midori paper; thanks for this:)

I guess the Pilot fine nib is enough wider than the EF that any spreading is negligible. I think that's what I like about the Pilot 14k fine nibs - they usually write relatively wet, but aren't sloppy...at least for my size handwriting. 😀

I have a small bottle of this ink, and fall in love with the color periodically - but in my experience, when put into a fountain pen (F - EF nib) it's been so dry as to be off-putting. I was surprised about your comment about the writing experience with the EF Prera. Maybe it's a batch thing and I have an old bottle?

I wonder if it's because I dipped my pens in the ink for these writing samples. The ink in my EF Pilot might have been a touch more saturated than it would have been if I had inked up a converter. Too much water in the ink will make it feel dry.
