Ink Review #2379: J Herbin Fuchsia de Magellan

/

J Herbin Fuchsia de Magellan is from the 1670 collection. You can find this ink for sale at most retailers including Pen Chalet. Thanks to Execlair for sending this ink over for review!

The color:

Fuchsia de Magellan is a bright hot pink.

*For my swab cards I use a Col-o-ring by Skylab Letterpress, a medium Pilot Ishime and a Mabie Todd Swan.

Swabs:

In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink has plenty of gold shimmer.

Writing samples:

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

*For my writing samples I use:

Dry time: 40 seconds

Water resistance: Medium

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: medium shading, no sheen, and gold shimmer.

On 20 lb copy paper the ink had some feathering and bleeding in the larger nib sizes.

Comparison Swabs:

Fuchsia is closest to Van Dieman’s Moon Jellyfish. Click here to see the pink inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used a Pilot Vanishing Point Galaxy with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has an average flow.

Overall, I really enjoyed this ink. It’s a great color and well-behaved. So far I’ve been really impressed with J Herbin shimmer inks.
