Over three and a half centuries, it has remained one of France's most respected names in writing ink, and the \u003cem\u003eLes\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eEssentielles\u003c\/em\u003e collection represents the house at its most considered - colours chosen not for novelty but for depth and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVert Amazone\u003c\/em\u003e is one of those colours. Both intense and luminous, it draws its inspiration from the wild shores of the great river of South America - a green that reads as genuinely alive on the page rather than simply decorative. It sits in the medium emerald range with low shading and an average flow, which makes it reliable across a wide variety of nibs and papers without sacrificing the richness of its tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach cartridge is the long European international size, measuring 7.3cm and holding approximately 2 ml of ink - a step up from standard short cartridges in both capacity and convenience. The set is presented in Jacques Herbin's signature amber box and contains seven universal cartridges, compatible with Jacques Herbin pens and any brand that accepts the universal cartridge system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ink is water-based, fast-drying, and lightfast, though not waterproof. On Rhodia paper with a medium nib, it dries in approximately 50 seconds - fast enough for everyday writing, slow enough to avoid hard starts. All pigments are natural and the ink is made in France.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA few practical notes worth knowing: this ink should not be mixed with other inks in the same pen. Before inserting a new cartridge, rinse the pen thoroughly to remove any traces of the previous ink. If the pen is to be left unused for an extended period, empty and rinse it before storing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those who write with intention - whether journaling, correspondence, or daily notes — \u003cem\u003eVert Amazone\u003c\/em\u003e offers a colour that rewards the choice of a fountain pen. It is not a novelty shade. It is the kind of green that looks deliberate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7 long universal ink cartridges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCartridge length: \u003c\/strong\u003e7.3 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInk volume:\u003c\/strong\u003e approximately 2 ml per cartridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eVert Amazone\u003c\/em\u003e (medium emerald green)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShading:\u003c\/strong\u003e low\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDry time: \u003c\/strong\u003eapproximately 50 seconds (medium nib, Rhodia paper)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatibility: universal international size; fits Jacques Herbin pens and most fountain pens accepting the standard international\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e water-based, lightfast, not waterproof\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0345\/4160\/0903\/files\/WEBFLAGS_FRANCE_125px.png?v=1613734598\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jacques Herbin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44440921211015,"sku":"3188555110379","price":16.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0345\/4160\/0903\/files\/jacques-herbin-essential-ink-cartridge-vert-amazone-pack-of-7-fpc11037jt-28989339566143_2048x2048_a3126e42-eb04-453d-8d91-dd89dd70e49b.webp?v=1775886029","url":"https:\/\/thestraywhisker.com.au\/products\/jacques-herbin-prestige-ink-cartridges-the-essentials-vert-amazone","provider":"The Stray Whisker","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
