The name of "Blau Permanent" is not deceiving but very informative: it is permanent unlike your standard run of the mill royal blue which can be erased with ink erasers, hence this blue being "permanent".
@Gouletpens8 жыл бұрын
Other ink brands do use the "permanent" name differently, so if people are used to that, it might be a bit misleading. But for R&K it does make sense. - Colin
@-----REDACTED-----8 жыл бұрын
+The Goulet Pen Company Probably true indeed. It is just that since it is German that I presumed the conditions in Germany where my first post rings very true (-> deletable royal blue vs permanent "royal" blue)

It depends on the person, some people love it, some don't. I think in general, people like it though. Mainly because it's something you can only get with a fountain pen, ballpoints and gel pens won't shade!

Interesting to revisit this at the tail end of 2021. R&K now also have several document inks in the Dokumentus line that I really enjoy and have strong permanence, without being iron gall based as far as I know. My end-user research into this line indicates these are fountain pen friendly, with one caveat that you need to avoid leaving your pen uncapped for too long. While that's probably true of most inks, I'm guessing the Dokumentus series may be a chore to clean out of a pen if they've been left to really dry out. I'm only dabbling into this series so far, in cheap pens, but if they hold up well then I'd like to see how they behave with higher-end pens.

That's strange. Just this week I bought the bunch because in the shop description it said waterproof and listening to your claim, that Rohrer & Klinger Zeichentusche (drawing ink) is not waterproof had me worried. So I opened the page with the the test swatches I scribbled just an hour ago and a water-brush and went over it. I couldn't lift any color. It didn't feather the sketchbook paper in the stylefile marker sketchbook. So yes, my quick test of Rohrer & Klinger Zeichentusche verified the claim from the online shop where I bought them, that the ink is waterproof.
@Gouletpens7 жыл бұрын
There may be a bit of language barrier with the bottles, but I believe what you're describing is not what Brian was talking about in this video. Drawing ink may be waterproof (we don't carry it), but the writing ink (Schreibtinte) isn't necessarily which is what Brian reviews in this video. The R&K website (www.rohrer-klingner.de/?page_id=573&lang=en) distinguishes them as calligraphy ink vs writing ink. - Colin

Oh man I didn't realize that Scabiosa and Salix were water resistant inks, I gotta grab those the next time I order. Scabiosa was already on my wishlist because I thought it was a pleasant looking color suitable for everyday use, but the water resistance is a plus. Currently Alt-Goldgrün is the only Rohrer & Klingner ink I own, but I should expand my collection a bit :)

Great question! The "1" is a single layer streak of ink using a cotton swab. We then start the second swab on top, but further down to create a second layer. And then we do the same thing with a third swab. This is to show saturation. I hope that helps! - Drew

A great format. Now do it with the Diamine range! kidding ;-) Joking aside, might be cool to do it with the smaller ranges, like L'Artisan Pastellier, or the new kid on the block, Robert Oster. Need to sample-up on that alt gold-grun, cassia, verdigris, bordeaux. I realised after about 20 samples that I just don't like regular blue. Blue-with-a-touch-of-something-else like Tanzanite, Bilberry, but just not plain blue. That koenigsblau though...
