J. Herbin is the oldest name in pen inks in the world. M. Herbin created “The Jewel of Inks” in his shop on the Rue des Fosses Saint-Germain in Paris in 1700.
Herbin uses all natural dyes in their fountain pen inks. This natural composition is reflected in the very neutral pH of the inks. We are now carrying J. Herbin La Perle des Encres, all in 100 ml bottles in the following colors: Perle Noir, Eclat de Saphir, Bleu Nuit, Lie De Thé, Poussière de Lune, and Violette Pensée. Each 100ml bottle is $20.00

Pilot-Namiki Bottled Ink Pilot has confirmed with Japan that the PH levels of all Pilot ink is above 7.0
therefore acid free and archival safe.
We have Namiki ink and cartridges for
sale. The traditional bottled Namiki ink comes in Black or Blue. Our
Price: $12.00 per bottle.
Most Pilot and Namiki pens (with the exception of the 823 piston-filler series) take both a
cartridge or a converter. Many of our customers prefer to use the converter at
home or the office. The cartridges
are very convenient for pen users on the go: during air travel, for instance, a new sealed
cartridge can be popped into the back of a pen with no fear of leakage due to
changes in pressure. The cartridges also come in a greater range of colors.

Sailor has re-designed both their colors and their bottles. Among standard colors, an earthy Green and, two different shades of Blue are ready for writing. The Black and Blue-Black inks are also available in this new bottle (please note that the Purple shown below is no longer available). The interior of the redesigned bottle now includes an interior reservoir to make refilling your pen or converter more convenient.
When the bottle's ink supply gets low, just turn the bottle upside down (with the cap on!) and then return it to an upright position. Then unscrew the cap and find ink in the reservoir, ready to be drawn up into your pen. These new style inks are now available for only $12.50 per bottle.
Sheaffer Ink
Blue
Sheaffer Skrip is used by us as our shop ink. The newly designed bottle contains
50 ml of ink
and has a wide base to lessen the danger of tip-overs. It is a
strong and bright Blue. We
use this ink in our shop primarily because it can be washed
off of our hands at the end of the day and is quite reasonable
in price. Bottles get consumed every month. At $8.00 a bottle it is an affordable and reliable ink - we have never seen
it plug a fountain pen. The cartridges are $5.00 a pack.
While the bottled fountain pen
inks seen on this page can be used in any fountain pen having a
converter, piston-fill, or other reservoir system (that includes
every pen we sell new with the exception of the Sapporo Mini),
cartridge inks fall into two broad categories--international
and proprietary. Pelikan cartridges are international and can
be used in a wide variety of fountain pen brands, including
Bexley, Montegrappa, and Pelikan's own Ductus series.
Aurora, Platinum, Pilot-Namiki,
and Sailor ink cartridges are proprietary, usable only in their
respective pen brands--note that Platinum makes the ink cartridges
used in Nakaya pens. In turn, pens from these manufacturers
can only utilize their own proprietary ink cartridges--with
the exception of Nakaya, which offers an adaptor (available
from us at a nominal cost) allowing their pens to use international
cartridges in addition to the Platinum brand. Still have questions? Don't hesitate to e-mail us at info@nibs.com or call us at (323) 655-2641.
