Super pretty color, but in my already wet writer, it's very.... flowy (I don't know pen jargon very well, sorry). Makes for smooth writing, though. Kind of a mix between blue, green, dark grey/black--the shade changes depending on the lighting, and I really adore this color. It doesn't look so green on its own, but next to a blue like Tsuki-Yo (which looks slightly blue-green-black on its own as well....), the green in Verdigris really shows through. Sorry if you can't read my writing. I can't either .

Looks like it shades nicely in a flex nib...

Intriguing colour, thanks for the review.

Thanks for the review; this is one of my favorite colors.

 

I agree that it is a fairly wet ink, but have found it to be well behaved in pens that have dry to moderate flow. I use Rhodia paper and have not had trouble with showthrough or bleedthrough except when using a wet writing flex nib.

Hello Mango,

 

Thanks for this review; Verdigris is a neat color and R&K don't get the attention they deserve.

 

All the best,

Good Review. I also like the Rohrer & Klingner inks I have tried, including Verdigris and Sepia. Verdigris has a unique color, good saturation, and a great flow, but it will show through on some paper including the Staples Sustainable Earth sugar cane paper I usually use. On Moleskin there is a slight bleed trough to the point writing on both sides of the page would be difficult.

I like Verdigris a lot. I use it quite a bit at work. And for those who like something just a little bit different, R&K's Alt Goldgrun is wonderful....

Just wanted to mention that I went out and bought a bottle of this ink because of your review. It was quite convincing and I really am enjoying the ink! Thanks for taking the time.

Interesting, since I am using that same Staples paper, writing with a nice medium nib on my Jinhao X450, and here is virtually no bleed-through, not even much show-through, and no feathering. So results are dependent upon pen, paper, ink, pressure and writing style, I guess. YMMV.

 

The color is unique and I like it very much.
