Rohrer & Klingner has several lines of ink, their "Antiktusche" is pigmented but the "Schreibtinte" line is made specifically for fountain pens and I've never had any issues with it, in fact it flows very well, even the ones with iron gall (Salix & Scabiosa).

Her work includes calligraphy and if you make a purchase you will be given a business card with a red swatch of colour and her details, if you make an enquiry you get a green one. Each a work of calligraphic art.Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02175808088212630854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4762723839403857883.post-52313728921126753312013-12-11T19:35:37.558+01:002013-12-11T19:35:37.558+01:00Very surprising find!

But putting them side-by-side reveals a different story altogether. Twilight is my favorite color in the Diamine line. I suppose one day I should get a sample of Verdigris (which, for some reason, has never looked that appealing in scans) and see if I get the same results as you. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4762723839403857883.post-65159429429810709082013-12-09T13:51:16.625+01:002013-12-09T13:51:16.625+01:00Yes, I guess so!

There usually is a difference, subtle but clearly visible when held next to each other.<br /><br />A few guys from the German pen forum penexchange made a project out of sampling inks on index cards, then collecting them for somebody to take photos and upload those into their wiki. That's where I got the idea, but I wanted to have some more space on my card to show how the ink looks like in different pens, note on how it performs etc. so my cards are A6 size. I store them in a box.MissElderberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00107509287496004722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4762723839403857883.post-53539750824344734642013-12-09T10:38:45.004+01:002013-12-09T10:38:45.004+01:00Wow those are almost identical.

I saw somebody use blank business cards with a swab and the name of the ink on, and then stored in a business card holder file. That is probably good if you've got loads and loads of inks since they're small. You could even make up a Rainbow Rolladex :)thenumberthirteenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08024608950339707762noreply@blogger.com
