Rohrer & Klingner - Solferino - Informal Review

Recommended Posts

In preparing for the 2013 Fade Olympics, I pulled out ink samples and started doodling. Here's an ink or two that I hadn't used before.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Hi,

 

Thanks for yet another sampling! :thumbup:

 

I've used Solferino for yonks as my 'screaming' ink - most often to write soon-to-be ex-beaux. Typically used on paper with a Canary Yellow tint with a rigid steel nibbed pen.

 

You make it look sooo much nicer . . .

 

Bye,

BTW, was it the feathering fish that made it entertaining??? Or just my stream of conscious ramblings?

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
