Rohrer & Klingner Bottled(50ml) Fountain Pen Ink Reviews

Good general use ink. The colors are pretty standard, the Alt Goldgrun being the exception. Stunning shading and a really interesting olive color. All around these are nice every day workhorse type inks. I have not tried the iron gall colors.

Alt goldgrun is one of those colors that might make you happy or not. It's a olive color that can be fairly dark pine green in wetter nibs and lighter, almost yellow-green in drier ones. It's well behaved and is a decent amount for the price. It took me a while to warm up to the color but now it's one of my favorites. As always, try out a sample before committing to a bottle.

Alt Goldgrün definitely lives up to its hype. Wonderful green color with gold undertones. Excellent shading qualities on just about any nib size.

I purchased the Salix ink in a bid to find a professional color for work. It's beautiful and permanent and thus far has proven easy to clean out of a pen. I didn't want to mess around with pigment residue in my pens so I thought to try iron gall.
This ink is a lovely color which changes overnight.
It starts off a royal blue, but darkens to a more midnight blue. It's a good ink for sure. Not too hard to clean out thus far.

What a beautiful color! Great shading. Wonderful balance of grey and warm tones. I’ll use this regularly.

Nice colour and it’s called smaragdgrun (Viridian green). Enjoyed trying to pronounce it :)

I purchased Scabiosa because I was looking for a purple ink that wasn't screamingly obtrusive, and I'm pleased to say that Scabiosa hits the right spot. It's a lovely dusty, vintage-y, unsaturated purple that has just enough colour to be interesting on paper without calling too much attention to itself. The fact that this ink holds up under a thorough soaking (never mind a drip test) is the proverbial icing on the cake.

Good iron gall ink

I bought "Scabiosa", which is an iron-gall-based ink in a dusty purple color. It has excellent water resistance, great flow, pretty good feathering resistance on good and above average paper, and thus far has been very low maintenance for my pen. Great value too! I also really like the bottle: it has a minimalist design, dark brown glass with a contrasting satin-matte bright aluminum twist-off cap.

The Rohrer & Klingner Cassia is just one of the prettiest purples out there. A nice shade that to me looks like a bright, true purple. Great ink.
