Does Anyone Use Rohrer And Klingner Ink In Their Mb Piston Fp's?

[Chrissy]

I quite fancy one of the R&K colours and wonder if anyone uses it in their Mb piston fillers? I'm very careful about which inks I use in my piston fillers, but I really like the look of R&K Cassia.

 

I don't even know yet if I can get any in the UK either.

As I don't own an MB, I can't answer that part. That said, my Pelikan M600 was happy with this ink, which is available in the UK from The Writing Desk (usual non affiliation disclaimer other than repeat customer).

I have happily used R&K Salix and Scabiosa in my 149 and have used Alt Gold Grun in the recent past. I purchased my inks from The Writing Desk as well. They are fantastic pen people. Of course the first two ink are Iron Gall and appropriate care should be used when using these inks.

 

ETA: I have used said inks in a 1950s 144, MB 22 and 32 as well without any issues.

Thank you guys. That's really encouraging and a UK stockist too! Great job.

Yep! I've tried the Salix, Scabiosa, Cassia, and Alt-Bordeaux in a 146 and a 149. They are fantastic.

I love the color of Alt Goldrun. I thought about picking up a bottle but I was afraid it would clog up my 146. Scabiosa is also a nice color. I'm glad you asked this, Chrissy.

Well thank you all so much. I intend to bite the bullet and buy a bottle of Cassia. It's a shame to pay the P&P for just one bottle of ink, but never mind.

 

Logan, I think your stockist might be Goulet Pens.

The R&K Cassia looks nice, but I recently bought a bottle of Diamine Damson and it's really charming me with its conservative attitude, despite being in the purple family.
