50ml Bottle

Jacques Herbin 1670 Violet Impérial is part of the 1670 Anniversary ink collection. This ink is a deep violet with gold shimmer and sheen. The ink comes in a 50ml bottle with a decorative wax seal on the bottle, and a supple wax cap.

Due to the amount of particulate in this ink used to achieve the sparking look, you may experience restricted ink flow in some of your pens. We recommend shaking the ink thoroughly before filling and gently rolling the pen in your hands often to keep the shimmer effect consistent. This will also help prevent clogging. You will also want to be diligent about cleaning and maintaining your pen when using this ink.

Greatest Ink Ever

This ink is the best. Because of the fine shimmers in J Herbin inks, I have never had an issue with my nibs being clogged no matter what pens I have put ink in - from Kawecos to Pelikans - no issues. Cleaning is a breeze and I despise cleaning pens. This ink is simply amazing. Purple and gold - what a beautiful combo especially when writing.

I enjoy this ink

In my use it is lighter than the ink shown in the swatch. I have to rotate my pen more often than other shimmer inks, but it's worth it. Great color, great shimmer, and smooth on the page.

Beautiful Violet Ink

Love the color and depth of this ink. First FP I used it in was my LAMY Safari with a B nib. A bit wet and slow to dry but I honestly believe it added to the beauty of the ink. It doesn't hit you over the head with violet but it lets you know its true color.

A Grand J Herbin 1670 Purple Ink

This grand purple bottled ink is a gift for someone that has lots of purple ink. I have not been disappointed with J Herbin ink in the past and this is why I made the purchase.All of their inks have been grand.

FAQs about Bottled Ink

Which pens can accept this ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Any of these fountain pens will work with bottled ink. Typically, as long as the pen can be filled with a converter, has a built-in filling mechanism like a piston, or can be eyedropper-filled, it can accept bottled ink.

What is shading, sheening, or shimmering ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Shading - A common (and often desired) result of a fountain pen ink pooling in certain parts of a letter when writing, so that the color and saturation of the ink appears different within a single letter or word. This characteristic cannot be achieved with ballpoint or rollerball pens and is a very appealing aspect of fountain pen use for those particularly drawn to all the pretty ink colors.

Sheen - Characteristic of a fountain pen ink where when ink pools another color can be seen on top of the ink, especially when looked at in different light angles using certain paper types. There is no way to guarantee an ink will sheen, but using a larger nib on a pen will help obtain sheening results in your writing.

Shimmering - Fountain pen ink that has small particles of glitter mixed in.

Is shimmering ink safe to use in fountain pens? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Yes! Shimmering ink is a great way to add some flare to your writing. We have found that a larger nib will showcase more shimmering particles while writing, but you can use any nib size and shimmering ink. All the ink we sell is safe for use in fountain pens.

You can learn more in our blog: How to Write with Shimmering Ink.

My ink smells funny, is it safe to use? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Generally yes! Ink does not smell good- it usually has a chemical smell, along with other scents such as sulfur, rubber, chemicals or even paint. However, as long as you’re not seeing anything floating in the ink, it should be safe to use.

It’s cold and my ink froze; is it safe to use? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Yes, frozen ink will not hurt your pen (after it’s thawed of course!) The issue with ink freezing is primarily a concern because certain glass bottles could break as the water-based ink expands, and then you’d have a mess!

What is your return policy for bottled ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B
