## Questions & Answers

**Q: I've heard that this typeof ink (iron gall) is harden to clean out of pens, what precautions should I take?**
A: This ink is more of a hybrid iron gall. I've never had trouble cleaning it but I would not leave it in a pen that's not being used regularly for too long. I left it too long in a twsbi vac 700 and after I cleaned it the filling system wasn't smooth anymore so I just put more silicone grease on the stopper and it was fine again.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pleasing colour, nice flow, can feather
*by A***N on 24 October 2024*

Described as Alt Bordeaux and is a pleasing dark red wine colour. The flow is good but the ink feels like it has a watery content and will bleed or feather if the nib rests on the page for a couple of seconds. If you lift when resting it's not an issue.Value for money compared to many other colourful fountain pen inks.Repackaged in Jersey for GB, posted by Jersey Post which avoided the problems I've been having with lost packages. Safe looking small box used, shame the pack chips were single use plastic.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yes - this ink is as gorgeous as they say it is!
*by N***E on 17 September 2013*

I have and use the following inks....Diamine, MontBlanc, Herbin, Private Reserve, Pelikan, Monteverde, Waterman, Visconti and Sailor... but no Rohrer and Klingner.I know they are well thought of in the two most important fountain pen forums, and voted head and shoulders above all their offerings are their two nut gall inks Salix and Scabiosa.With Scabiosa appearing to be a beautiful dark purple colour in all the swatches I'd seen, I decided to throw my hat in the ring and send for a bottle. It was delivered, perfectely packed, from the German seller within five days of ordering, which I thought was exceptional service.The ink itself doesn't disappoint in any way. It comes in a 50ml glass bottle and is an Iron Gall ink (the original type of ink that was made for nearly 1000 years from tree and plant products, before the more modern water and dye based inks of today) and has been specially formulated to work well in fountain pens.It is a beautiful dusky purple in colour, not as deep as Diamine Damson, but deeper than Herbins Poussiere de Lune. I predominantly use fine nibbed pens, with the occasional medium and Scabiosa shades very nicely with my F nibs, and really rather beautifully with my wetter M nibs.I am currently using it through a Monteverde Intima with an F nib, and a lovely big beast of a Jinhao 159 with the wettest M nib out there. Neither pen shows any nib creep or bleed through on the papers I have used so far. It dries quickly and, being iron gall, is extremely water resistant.The colour is simply perfect and even lends itself to business use.Pens dipped but not inked were a Muji M nib, a Pilot Traveller F nib, and a Nemosine Singularity clear demonstrator f nib - all of these pens showed the ink off exceptionally well.Paper used? Nu 120gsm cream notebooks, a Leuchturm 1917 journal and Viking Direct 100gsm copier paper.As you can probably tell, I am very happy with this inks colour and properties - and I recommend it to everyone.My only regret? Not ordering more R&K from this Amazon seller and filling the box up...but I'll be back!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ High Quality ink with and old-fashioned feel...
*by D***O on 9 December 2015*

Fantastic ink in a pleasantly old-fashioned bottle. I agree with the comment of one reviewer who reckons it is a little pale in certain -dry writing - pens. My Pelikan 600 writes fairly wet, though and leaves a beautiful dark line, with paler highlights. It's perfectly acceptable for general use and sober enough for formal writing. I have many bottles of unused ink - I can't believe I'm unusual in buying inks because I'm attracted, magpie-like by an interesting colour, then finding that if I used it in letters, notes and anything destined for others' eyes, I would end up firmly in the "green ink brigade" (if you'll excuse the term). This colour manages to be individual and interesting without making its user seem eccentric (I think). It behaves well on all papers I've tried - I even got away with using it to do the Times crossword, though I'd be lying if I didn't admit to er, a certain amount of feathering....
