Rohrer and Klingner - Leipziger-Schwarz - Ink Review

Hi all, and welcome to day 23 of Duck’s Doodles Inkmas! 

Nearing the end and this experiment is still full of surprises- I pulled an ink from a company I’ve never heard of. Today’s review is on Rohrer and Klingner’s shade Leipziger-Schwarz.

Writing 

This ink goes down pretty smooth- a little on the drier side both in my Pilot Prera and my Lamy Safari.

I found no feathering on my Rhodia, but had some in my Field Notes

Dry Time

I found this ink to be dry in 20 seconds with my Pilot Prera and closer to 30 seconds with my Lamy

Water Test

This ink isn’t waterproof and it’s not advertised to be 

Color

This ink is (I think) supposed to be a deep black but it’s 100% a blue-black. It looks not quite black in the vial, and the deconstruction in the water test shows then blue very clearly.

There’s no real shading to this ink; it’s a pretty flat blue-black. 

Verdict

For my first experience of a Rohrer and Klingner ink, this was pretty good!

It’s a dependable writer and is a very work friendly color.

Thanks for reading, happy writing and I’ll see you tomorrow for the last Inkmas post!
