Jacques Herbin Cornaline d'Égypte Ink Review @Exaclair @JetPens

Jacques Herbin 1798 Cornaline d'Égypte is the next ink in the lineup, after Améthyste de l'Oural. I am a fan of the Améthyste and while I really like orange inks, I'm not too sure about this one.

ABOUT

Color: Orange
Particles: Silver
Bottle: 50 ml
Price: $26.50 USD
Where to buy: JetPens

PROS

• Wider mouth makes it easier to fill larger pens from.
• Very pretty to look at!
• Solid, won't tip while you're filling pens.
• Legible orange, even in finer nibs.

CONS

• Requires a bit extra attention when cleaning - the shimmer can stick. 
• I'm not wild about the shading - there is not a whole lot of it. 
• Not inexpensive!

OVERALL

Well, I must admit I'm not crazy about this ink. I wasn't all that excited when I saw it upon release but now that I have used it more, and even though I love orange inks, this one just doesn't do much for me. I like the color when it's saturated but I don't need to have a whole bottle just for the few times I'll play with it. What do you think of it?
