Herbin, 6 ink cartridges in a tin, standard format. Founded in Paris in 1670 under Louis XIV, Herbin quickly became famous for its inks, which were exported all over the world. Herbin still has its headquarters in Paris today. It contains 6 small ink cartridges (universal format) in a round aluminium container.

The inks are available in a total of 25 colours with French and poetic names. They are designed for frequent use with fountain pens and rollerball pens and are finely filtered so as not to clog the pens. The inks consist mainly of water, a humectant to limit drying out in relation to the nib and a preservative to maintain their properties over time. The dyes used have been specially selected to offer the richest range of colours on the market.
