Rohrer & Klingner Verdura is an ink I’ve not used in a pen – yet.
I’m planning to. I like the crisp bright color of it here.

INK SWAB: 42/365 – Rohrer & Klingner Morinda
Rohrer & Klingner Morinda is one of my favorite red inks. I reviewed it quite some time ago – read that review here. It writes so well.
INK SWAB: 13/365 – Rohrer & Klingner Alt-Bordeaux
Rohrer & Klingner is a brand that doesn’t get a whole lot of attention.
I’ve not written with Alt-Bordeaux, but I have enjoyed other R&K inks and this is an interesting purple that leans toward red – aptly named.
While today isn’t Friday, I need to mention how much I enjoy Fashionable Friday from The Well-Appointed Desk. Pretty pretty.
INK DROP: January 2015 (Spoilers)
January 2015 Ink Drop from Goulet Pens
I received January’s Ink Drop from Goulet Pens earlier this week.
I usually super-saturate cotton swabs with ink before swiping across the paper, but this time, I barely barely got the cotton wet with ink. I thinking maybe this gives a more accurate idea of what the ink would look like from a pen? If you have thoughts, I’d love to hear them.
I’m about to reveal the inks from top to bottom. If you don’t want to know, this is the time to look away.
- De Atramentis Black Edition-Brown – I know, it looks kind of purply to me, too (it’s not just the scan)
- Rohrer & Klingner Verdigris
- Noodler’s X-Feather – this stuff is great if you’re looking for an ink that doesn’t feather or spread
- Private Reserve Ebony Purple – another ink I adore
- Pelikan Edelstein Tanzanite
And the theme? Safe for Work
I like most of these inks – going to have to look at the De Atramentis a bit more, though. What are you thinking? Safe for work?
WORDLESS WEDNESDAY: Rohrer & Klingner Cassia Review
Just a quick look at Rohrer & Klingner’s Cassia.
Great color – will definitely do an in-depth review at some point!
INK REVIEW: Rohrer & Klingner Morinda
Dear Roher & Klingner Morinda,
I like you. It definitely wasn’t love at first sight.
But the more time we spend together, the more I liked you.
You were a bit wet in the Lamy Safari with a broad nib, but who isn’t? You were a little smeary, but I can deal with that.
But here’s the thing. You wrote great. And the water test? Holy smokes.
And you’re pretty. Oh-so-pretty. Just a tiny bit orange to make you softer than other reds. Totally different from Noodler’s Red.
The truth is, Morinda, after visiting with you for a week or so, I might be in love with you. We’ll see – I’m not quite ready to commit to just one red, but maybe…just maybe.
Love,
Pentulant
P.S. I am just about at the end of the reviews that I scanned before the highlight test – thank goodness. And, yes, I am just lazy enough that I didn’t go back and fix the issue. Haha.
INK DROP: May 2013
Seriously? I’m probably the last person to comment on the May Ink Drop color from Goulet Pen Shop.
I’ve been just a little busy. There was the wedding. And then the baby! (Not ours – bummer.)
But here they are…
Noodler’s 54th Massachusetts
De Atramentis Ocher Yellow
Roher & Klingner Alt-Goldrun
Roher & Klingner Alt-Bordeaux
De Atramentis Mint Turquoise
They look so different on different papers, yes? Four passes on the Clairfontaine Triomphe paper to get close to the same look on the Brush Dance paper. (Disclaimer: I’m the president of Brush Dance and maybe just a little slanted in that direction, but really? We have great paper.)
As for the inks? I’m not IN LOVE with any of them. Each of them falls squarely into that “not a color” area for me. Alt-Goldrun is so popular – I want to write with it very soon.
What do you think? Love ’em? Hate ’em?
