Extra Fine Nib Ink Review: Büroservice Bergmann Rotfliessende Eisengallustinte


This is review #242 in my series. Here's the YouTube video:


Post-recording notes: Only had one ink that's remotely close to this. The ink changed color almost immediately upon touching the paper, going from reddish to an odd brown with slightly purple leanings.  Used the Penmanship in case of staining.  Cleaning was quick and easy.  I did not try to color correct the images just because the color of the ink changed by the time I could do a comparison.  IMO, the various colors you see will give you a good idea of the range from "fresh" to oxidized (or whatever it is that iron gall inks do).


Can be found here.


Errata: "I darkens..." should be "It darkens...".

Line width (One of the lines used for dry time. Magnification is 100x. The grid is 100x100µm. The scale is 330µm, with eleven divisions of 30µm each. The line width for this ink is roughly 264µm. With 242 inks measured, the average line width is 296µm.) (Super fine line!)

Microscope image (100x. Captured 3 days after making the slide. Ink is a little more red and vibrant than the capture shows.)

Looks like a cool ink to try. Thanks for the review.

If you are to be ephemeral, leave a good scent.

Another fantastic review @LizEF :thumbup: Those microscopic images are stunning. It's as if their describing the scene of the orange field with the alien like creature in Quin's bag (unless it's good ole Earl of Grey in a tin can ;) )

 

Thank you for making Tuesday's so special :)

:D :D Hopefully Thom spots them - I expect he'll enjoy that (if he hasn't already seen such images).

@LizEF, thank you a million times for our wonderful Tuesday Treats.   
 

This ink intrigues me.  So many changes!  And I've never even heard of it until now.  The color is way cool.  It's got a fast dry time and easy cleanup in its favor,  too.

 

I see the Earl's been busy.  Yikes!   But perhaps Makhabesh has spotted a true getaway.  Yay Makhabesh, flying with that heavy pack.  But… why is Quin's pack now heavier? 
 

Guess we will ALL have to tune in next week.  

My latest ebook.   And not just for Halloween!
 

My other pen is a Montblanc.

Yes, I'm impressed by both these inks.

      Thanks for the info (I only used B&W film and learned to process that).   Boy -- the stuff I learn here!  Just continually astounded at the depth and breadth of knowledge in this community! Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      >Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color,<   I'm sure they were, and my answer assumes that. It just wasn't likely to have been Kodachrome.  It would have been the films I referred to as "other color films." (Kodachrome is not a generic term for color film. It is a specific film that produces transparencies, or slides, by a process not used for any other film. There are other color trans

      @Ceilidh -- Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color, not just B&W like I learned to process.  Whether they were doing the processing of the film themselves in one of the darkrooms, or sending their stuff out to be processed commercially?  That I don't actually know, but had always assumed that they were processing their own film.

      Kodachrome 25 was the most accurate film for clinical photography and was used by dermatologists everywhere. I got magnificent results with a Nikon F2 and a MicroNikkor 60 mm lens, using a manually calibrated small flash on a bracket. I wish there were a filter called "Kodachrome 25 color balance" on my iPhone camera.
