INK REVIEW: J Herbin Lie de The

Posted on by
I don’t like brown inks. It’s been documented right here on this blog.  
Pilot Iroshizuku’s Tsukushi? Too much red.
Delta Brown, what’s the flower you have on? It’s brown.
Chocolat from Private Reserve? I said I liked it, but I don’t. I never bought a bottle like I said I might.
I don’t like brown inks. Really, I don’t!! 
J Herbin Lie de The
Why try again? Well, I have just about every other color group represented in my currently-inked pens and the Kaweco Sport I wanted to use is blue.  I’ve always thought brown and blue look great together. Leather and denim, right? Can’t just be me.
Anyway . . .
Best. Brown. Ever. 

I’m a convert. I have seen the light brown and I like it. I love it.  My gosh, look at that shading.

The color is wonderful. Not too dark, not too light. I’m not seeing any of that red that turned me away from some of the other browns I’ve tried. There’s definitely some yellow in there, though.
It writes fantastically. No flow issues (consider that I was using a BB nib). Dry time was a little long (that nib was laying down some serious ink). 
There was no feathering, bleeding, or ghosting with Clairefontaine paper. There was all of the above when I touched the nib to some cheapie cheap-o paper.  I don’t know if that’s more because of the paper or the ink, but there you go.

I’m adding Lie de The to my inky wish list.
Here’s the full review. Click here to see the full-size image (it’s big).  

OK…speak up….brown ink. Are you in or out? Do you like browns that lean toward the yellow or more toward red?

xoxox

P.S. I rarely look at other reviews before I write my own, but will sometimes check them out after. There are lots of reviews on Fountain Pen Network that talk about how green Lie de The is. I don’t see that. I don’t see that so much that I wonder if the formulation has changed. When I look at the swabs on both Goulet Pens and Zeller Writing, I don’t see green.  Do you?

  12. I am really enjoying the theme/design of your blog.
    Do you ever run into any internet browser compatibility issues?

    A handful of my blog visitors have complained about my website not working
    correctly in Explorer but looks great in Opera.
    Do you have any ideas to help fix this issue?

  17. With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any issues
    of plagorism or copyright infringement? My blog has a lot of unique content I’ve either authored myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the
    internet without my permission. Do you know any ways to help prevent content from being stolen? I’d really appreciate it.

  21. What is Mix backlinks?

    Mix backlinks typically include a combination of dofollow and nofollow links, contextual
    links within relevant content, and links from various domains and niches.

    For example, guest posts on high-authority websites, directory
    submissions, forum participation, social media
    mentions, and blog comments can all contribute to a well-rounded
    backlink profile. Each type of link serves a unique purpose:
    dofollow links pass link equity to your website, improving search rankings, while nofollow links can still generate traffic, brand awareness, and referral value without directly affecting ranking metrics.

    One of the main benefits of a mix backlinks strategy is its ability to mimic
    natural link growth. Search engines can detect unnatural link patterns, such as
    having a large number of links coming from
    a single source or exclusively from low-quality websites.
    By diversifying link sources, anchor texts, and link types, a website can maintain a
    healthy and organic appearance in the eyes
    of search algorithms. This not only reduces the risk of penalties but also enhances long-term SEO performance.

    Moreover, mix backlinks can target various
    aspects of online marketing simultaneously. For instance, links
    from authoritative blogs in your niche can drive relevant traffic, while social media backlinks can enhance brand visibility and audience engagement.

    Additionally, directory and forum backlinks contribute to local SEO efforts and help establish your business as a credible entity
    within specific communities.

    This multifaceted approach ensures that the website benefits from both
    search engine rankings and real user traffic, creating a balanced SEO strategy.

    It is important to note that quality matters more than quantity in backlink building.
    A mix backlinks strategy should prioritize high-quality, relevant,
    and trustworthy sources over mass link submissions.

    Tools and analytics can help monitor the effectiveness of backlinks, track referral traffic, and assess domain authority improvement.
    By continuously refining the backlink mix, website owners can adapt to search engine updates
    and maintain a strong online presence.

    In conclusion, adopting a mix backlinks approach
    is a smart and sustainable way to enhance SEO performance.
    By combining various types of backlinks from diverse sources, businesses
    and website owners can improve search rankings,
    drive targeted traffic, and maintain a natural link profile.
    This strategy balances the benefits of high-authority links with the broader advantages of brand visibility and
    online engagement, making it a crucial component of any comprehensive SEO campaign.
