Run through the list below, so you have the info you need to make an informed decision next time you\u2019re choosing an ink brand or a new color of ink for everyday use or a particular project.<\/p>\n In the interest of keeping things scientific, we\u2019re listing our controls for our weekly ink reviews right here for your info. For our review of Rohrer & Klingner Solferino Fountain Pen Ink, we used a French-made J Herbin spiral glass dip pen on Rhodia dot pad paper<\/a>. The glass dip pen\u2019s tip is similar to a fine-medium fountain pen nib.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t forget \u2013 different papers and nib sizes may produce different results. Remember this when deciding whether or not to add Rohrer & Klingner Solferino Ink to your collection!<\/p>\n Rohrer & Klingner Solferino ink comes in a very basic 50 ml. round medicine style glass bottle. It isn\u2019t necessarily unique or distinguishable in any way, but it\u2019s quite functional with a large lid with easy access to the ink. The company does not use outer packaging for their ink products at all.<\/p>\n Rohrer & Klingner Solferino ink is available in the 50 ml. bottle at an economical price. For current pricing, check the current product listing at PenChalet.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n Rohrer & Klingner Solferino ink had a dry time of approximately 5-6 seconds during our ink review, which is reasonably quick. We generally consider any dry time from 7-8 seconds as reasonable for everyday use. So, we categorize Rohrer & Klingner Solferino ink as a good option for daily use in the home or office.<\/p>\n During normal use, we saw no bleeding. During the heavy saturated cotton swab test, we did see some bleeding, but only at the wettest points.<\/p>\n During normal use, we saw no feathering. We only saw slight feathering during the water test.<\/p>\n While this week\u2019s ink is not waterproof, we did include a water test in the review. (For the water test, we let an ink sample dry for about 3 minutes before running a wet cotton swab over the sample). The water test resulted in significant color smearing and some slight feathering, but the lines were still legible. (We\u2019ve said this before in past reviews, but it bears noting again; the water test results were not unexpected since this is not a waterproof ink).<\/p>\n If you have a nib that allows good ink flow variation<\/a> (like the stub or italic nib), Rohrer & Klingner Solferino ink has some slight shading traits. You can see a lighter purple shade to a deeper color of vibrant purple.<\/p>\n Rohrer & Klingner Solferino Ink is an economical ink choice from a well-regarded, historic German ink company. The bright, vibrant purple color is an excellent choice amid R&K\u2019s 17 color options (with 2 Iron Gall ink colors). Fountain pen users will find R&K\u2019s Solferino ink offers a very reasonable dry time (under 10 seconds).<\/p>\n If you are looking for a bright purple high-performance fountain pen ink<\/a> that is easy to clean and easy to use, you can\u2019t do better than R&K\u2019s Solferino ink.
