Established in Paris in 1670, the Maison HERBIN initially specialized in the sealing wax, fine stationery and ink trade, and imported shellac from India. Since this founding their aim has been to "Give body and color to our thoughts." The adventure of one of the oldest ink makers in the world began over three hundred years ago but its products have expanded into a complete universe of inks, writing instruments, stationery, and other goods for amateurs and connoisseurs of the lettering arts.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with Ambre de Baltique. I have been looking for an ink in the yellowish gold color range. Noodler's Yellow is a beautiful true yellow, but it is not easily visible except in really good light. I looked at many colors online before I found J. Herbin Ambre de Birmani, which I absolutely love. If you have not tried it, it is a beautiful warm golden amber color. I also saw JH Ambre de Baltique which, online, looked like a good possibility so I tried a sample vial. It is a very nice color but it is a slightly browner amber color that, to me , is just not as pretty as the Ambre de Birmani. It really just comes down to what color you prefer. I like it fine, it is just not quite the golden look I wanted. BTW, if you are looking for a very nice readable golden color, I personally think the Ambre de Birmani is a prettier gold than any of the inks called gold. Just for reference I was looking for a nice yellow gold to pair with my purple TWSBI Eco to create an LSU purple and gold theme.
