Standardgraph Zeichentechnik GmbH is german manufacturer of technical drawing instruments, rulers and pencil sharpeners. They also have inks. They manufacture and distribute their own calligraphy products and products from the company Rubinato. I believe Standardgraph inks are made in Germany by Standardgraph.

Tehy offer palette of 24 colors (only 22 are fountain pen friendly).

Let's take a look at them:

I enjoy these inks: most of them are well behaved and they're reasonably priced (5-6 $ / 30 ml).

I like: Schilfgrun, Ferngrun, Mossgrun, nowy Zypressengrun, Tulpenrot, Maisgelb i Feigenbraun.

I dislike krokusgelb, stary Zypressengrun, Vergissmeinnicht, Holunderblau, Mohnrot.

If you like this comoparison please do me a pleasure and vote in the poll.

 

J. Herbin line will come next but I still lack some samples.

Thanks for doing this much work -- it's good to be able to see all the inks together. Of course, I should *not* be looking at more inks to buy.... :headsmack:

Really partial to the Fliederrosa and the Feigenbraun.

Stumbled upon these inks online and picked up a bottle each of schilfgrun and anthrazit after looking through this comparison. Appreciate the work you put in!

Awesome comparison!!! :thumbup:

Could you please identify the inks in the water resistance test? (It seems like two of the blues and two of the reds have very good resistance)

It's obvious that a lot of love goes into your reviews, visvamitra (as well as much time and effort). These are all nice colors but I have to say - that Feigenbraun, wow! A bottle is on the way.

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

Another great set of comparisons. Thank you so much!

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

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

BTW, Vis, these comparisons are the very best for putting up in the window. I got the last ones tacked up a few days ago. Thank you.

Thanks, not bad colors.

Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right

to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers,

and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. Revelation 22:14-15

Much work put into this review, and your efforts are much appreciated. Their reds all seem to have a pink cast to them.

      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

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. 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
