Excellent value for the quantity, and as always excellent service on the part of Appelboom. They did everything to make sure my order got out to me in time for a business trip. I ordered the color Leipziger Schwartz, an excellent highly saturated green-black, with an almost velvety appearance on cream-colored paper. This is one of my favorite blacks to use in professional settings. It's definitely black, but with a tinge of something unique.
Great ink but was expecting more color shifting since it is iron gall based. It darkens less than the Salix in this same range. Dries fairly quickly, the purple is not overly saturated, and holds up well under watercolors or alcohol markers.
Degelijke ijzer-galnoteninkt met een prachtige kleur. De inkt is zo goed als watervast, en toch gaat het reinigen van je pen gemakkelijk. Een van mijn favoriete inkten!
I have tested a variety of inks and subsequently found that the Rohrer and Klingner Blau permanent, from Leipzig, Germany, suits me perfectly well. This ink has good flow-characteristics, which eliminates "skipping" i.e. sudden stops in the ink-flow and prevents the pens ink-channels from clogging. It is a lubricating and wet ink yielding a smooth feeling when writing. The Rohrer and Klingner Blau permanent also resists water to a certain degree, however not fully and does not disappear completely if the paper should be a bit wet. It is also easy to clean out of the pen, rinsing it by water. Furthermore, from my subjective view, the Rohrer and Klingner Blau permanent gives a saturated pretty blue colour. My general impression is that this ink has a number of advantages, is relatively cheap despite it's eminent characteristics and fits well for daily writing using different paper qualities.
Salix waterproof ink interesting properties. Wet and nice shading.

I ordered Salix twice and Scabiosa twice as well because it is very nice and waterproof. Shading is very good with these 2.. and it is way cheaper from Appelboom than here in Singapore. Thanks Appelboom
I like darker blues and this is easy to use on inexpensive paper.
Since it is iron gall ink, it is recommended that you take care of your fountain pen.
Beatifully shading ink, well behaved with good lubrication. A classic and versatile color. Can be a bit difficult to read in smaller handwritings with finer nibs but great on medium or broader nibs.
Well behaved blue-black ink that has excellent water resistance. I love how it darkens over time. This ink does not sheen but has great shading property. It has relatively dry flow comparing to Iroshizuku inks, which makes a good balance for gusher nibs.
