Today we will be reviewing J. Herbin Orange from the Essentials collection. This was kindly provided by Pen Chalet.
It has been quite a while since we reviewed J.Herbin inks (in fact, the last post was Ink # 238 in 2020). It is available on Pen Chalet for $28 (50 mL bottle).
If you haven't checked out Pen Chalet, I highly recommend taking a look at their website. They provide ink samples as well as fast shipping. Customer service is responsive and timely.
