on saleRohrer & Klingner Cassia - 50ml Bottled Ink

Drew Brown recently reviewed several overlooked brands. Rohrer * Klinger inks were among them. Their "Cassia" is a very sophisticated purple. There is no doubt that it is purple, but you easily can get away using it in a business setting. The ink quality seems to be very high. I'm well-pleased with this recommendation.

A wonderful, rich purple ink. Just the right colour (not too pink, not too blue), and saturated. Sheens to a lovely gold. This ink is ideal for pens that are too wet, like a flex pen which can blob. It flows just right and has a nice lubricated feel. It is also a great price so there is nothing to complain about. Highly recommended.

I've been looking for the purplest purple and this is it to me. It is the right shade on the page. It is dark enough to not be a violet but not too dark to look black on the page. It is saturated and flows well.

I'm enjoying this lovely grape ink, definitely a keeper. This medium purple does best on good quality paper. On thin, porous paper, like in a school subject notebook, it will bleed through. I was using my new Omniflex Conklin pen at first and the paper type will make a difference between a wet nib or a normal one. My Sailor pen with a fine point had the same thing happen.

A brilliant shade of purple that works beautifully with fountain pens as well as pointed pens. I can get fine lines as well as bold shading.
