I recently had the chance to review some J. Herbin inks! It was fun to test them out. :) I had never tried their inks before. Here is the link:

Nosferatuia, I was thinking about the Diabolo Menthe and your glass pen. I thought to test it with a glass eyedropper to see how the ink behaved. The ink ran right off like you had experienced, and the Vert Réséda definitely adhered to the glass a lot better. It's unfortunate, as it seems it is not the best ink for glass pens :( I need to get some new dip pens and see if they fare better with that ink.
