Technical specifications of the Herbin La Perle Des Encres line

The formulation is water-based and vegan. It flows smoothly and evenly on common paper. It is acid-free, so it does not damage nibs over time, and it is compatible with converters and piston-filling systems.

Available in a 10 ml bottle, ideal for trying multiple colors, and a 30 ml bottle for more continuous use. It includes a built-in pen rest. Learn more about fountain pen ink on Wikipedia.

Jacques Herbin also offers other collections, such as Les Couleurs de Paris and Les Encres Parfumées. These are designed for those who wish to expand their ink collection.

FAQ

Is J. Herbin La Perle Des Encres ink compatible with all fountain pens?

Yes. The water-based formulation is compatible with any fountain pen that uses standard cartridges or converters. It does not contain acids or solid pigments that could clog the nib or feed.

What is the difference between the 10 ml and 30 ml bottles?

The 10 ml bottle is ideal for those who want to try a new color or frequently switch between multiple shades. The 30 ml bottle is the more economical choice for those who use one color continuously. The color and formulation are, consequently, identical in both sizes.

How do I choose the right color?

The range covers the entire color wheel, from deep blacks and blues to pinks and violets. The choice also depends on the paper and writing style.

Is J. Herbin ink waterproof?

No. Like most water-based fountain pen inks, La Perle Des Encres is not waterproof. It is, however, suitable for everyday writing, correspondence, and journaling, but not for documents that require resistance to moisture.

The iconic “La Perle des Encres” range is produced in 40 delicate shades, in 100 ml, 30 ml, 10 ml bottles and in cartridges.
Jacques Herbin also offers other unique collections, such as “Les Couleurs de Paris”, “Les Encres Parfumées” or “Les Encres Collectors”.
