Rohrer And Klinger Salix

[politovski]

so,

cleaning out a backlog of reviews of ink samples, here is another iron gall: salix. lighter than essri and diamine, but well behaved. interesting.

dry time? depends. seemed to be 20+ seconds on clairefontaine, 10 on cheap stuff

flow? dry, very dry. perhaps not as bad as essri or diamine, but dry

pen clogging? not witnessed, but then i used a small sample and went throught it too quick to notice

enjoy

Love this ink. I use it for sketching due to its water-resistant nature.

I do like Salix -- both its colour and its permanence. However, I've found that it has a few issues: 1) dry time is rather long, and 2) it's best for pens with converters that you write dry within a day or two (Salix dislikes my Lamy 2000).

I adore this ink and use it for my class notes and homework. The fact that it writes dry combined with an EF nib on my Safari means that I can actually write math stuff and not have it bleed into a giant blob. :-)

 

Thanks for the review!

This is one of my favorites. I keep a Pelikan M405 loaded with it all the time, no problems with it drying out.

I love this one as well. Nice to have the 'blue retention' as it were, compared to the other IG ones I use.

It takes frequent long-term rides in my Pelikan M215. I've never had it dry out either.
