Reviews & Resources

Jacques Herbin Orange Soleil - Ink Review - The Writer's Armory

Orange Soleil offers medium flow with good performance on fountain pen-friendly papers, showing minimal bleeding or feathering, though it leaves brown residue requiring pen disassembly for cleaning. It scores highly in pen performance (10/10) and paper performance (10/10) but lower in water resistance (2/10).

Ink Review #870: Jacques Herbin Orange Soleil

This well-behaved basic orange ink has a 20-second dry time, low water resistance, no feathering on premium papers but some on copy paper, and shows a red undertone in swabs. It's compared to inks like Sailor Jentle Apricot and noted as pretty but expensive for a standard orange.

Jacques Herbin Orange Soleil - The Fountain Pen Network

Orange Soleil is described as a decent bright orange ink with good flow and okay lubrication, closely resembling Sailor Kin-mokusei but slightly darker with more orange tones.

Jacques Herbin Orange Soleil - Mountain of Ink

The ink demonstrates average to slightly wetter flow in a TWSBI Eco, with 20-second dry time, medium show-through, and feathering on copy paper but none on fountain pen papers like Rhodia and Tomoe River. It has low water resistance and a visible red undertone in large swabs.

ink review : J. Herbin Orange Indien (Perle des Encres)

J. Herbin Orange Indien performs best with wetter pens and broader nibs for smooth writing and saturation, shows nice shading with moderate color span, but has light feathering on some papers and no water resistance.
