Founded in 1670, J Herbin is the oldest name in the Ink world and still produces some of the finest inks and writing instruments today. J Herbin's ink cartridges are available in a wide range of 20 shades. Presented in the most beautiful tin in a set of 6, each colour is named in French and is a lovely addition to any fountain pen ink collection. The cartridges are an international standard size and will fit most Fountain Pens. The Ink contained within the cartridges is water based, fast drying and non-toxic. The colours produce rich shades and all contain natural dyes. All J Herbin inks are made in France, and the finishing touches on the bottles and tins are all completed by hand.
