The exclusive 1798 ink collection celebrates the year Jacques Herbin first introduced his own line of quality inks, an important step in the history of the brand. Deep unsaturated colors with optimal pressure sensitivity, 1798 Inks are illuminated with shimmering flecks of silver for an elegant finish.
The ancient Egyptians considered carnelian to be one of the most calming and healing semi-precious gemstones. It was believed to elevate the mood, eliminate stress and was used as a symbol of life.
This newest ink in the 1798 collection contains rich, orange/red pigments that have made the carnelian so beloved for thousands of years.
The addition of shimmering silver pigments gives this ink an elegant and refined depth and luster.
