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. I'm going to try all of them and review them. It'll take time but I'll do it :) My ambition is to present inks of less known companies as my input here. Of course I stay open to all inks and review bnis and small names. However I must confess I have some sort of weakness for smaller companies and less known brands. I won't favor them, I'll be honest though.

Schilfgrun is really nice ink, my shade of green - gold. I'm finding this ink enjoyable.

Please - remember that in most of my reviews I use very wet pens. Kaweco Sport turned to eyedropper always leaves line that is saturated. If you're notorious fine nib user you may be disappointed by some of inks that appear rich in color in my reviews. They are but only in broad, wet nibs that I use use on everyday basis. I don't really like fine nibs so I almost never use them to review inks.

I was signaled this ink was dryish in finer nibs. I'll have to check ik as I've tried it only in broad nib in which it behaved well.

Well, I've run out of Shinkaichi Gold sample but I can paste here some scans next to each other. Unhappily I haven't used the same pen in these reviews.

Thank you for the review. I see that you and Cyber6 are enamored with those green golds. You always make them look so pretty.

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

Darn, this colour variation is amazing! And this brand is not readily available here in China... :(

Your excellent review was the reason I had to try this little ink. (Ink people are the worst enablers)...as I'm a sucker for gold green inks, but yeah...this makes me forget some of the curiously bland Standardgraph offerings. :)

@Lgsoltek try here: http://stores.ebay.com/Seitz-Kreuznach/Standartgraph-Tinte-/_i.html?_fsub=5780330015&_sid=23143075&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322 - I believe they ship to china. Not affiliated but have bought from them twice and can recommend.

 

Edit: beautiful tree, Pira.

 

Thanks for the review vis, I have this ink but haven't used it yet. I need to change that.

A word of caution about this and other Standardgraph inks. They are flat...as in sucked into the paper, matte. Where we expect the bling of sheen these inks can be almost lifeless. In my limited experience, this & Maize yellow work really nicely.

Thank-you Venator...and I agree, I'm sure that ebay seller (or you can purchase from their online shop) would ship to China.

@Pira - your trees are stunning :)

 

I appreciate the thumbs up on the forest of inks :D

Thanks for the review. This is not a color I like, though -- Cyber 6 can have as much as she wants....
