Your note about the Barock ink being nice to write makes me wonder why Barock doesn't export. Hmmmm.

 

Thanks for the review.

Looks very close to Sheaffer Scrip Green... perhaps a little brighter.

[Gran]

I was wondering that, and will soon compare some Skrip green to this review on my monitor.

If it was sold in the USA I would have to get it just because of the name.

I am a huge Dresden Files fan.

I would love to get my hands in one of these Barock inks.

I just found out that their ancestor was Leonhardi, creator of the Alizarine ink, an ink also used by Nietzsche.

Any one has more info?

Greetings all,

 

That is a great color- reminds me of the New York Central Railroad's Jade Green from the '50s and '60s. Can you get it from an online dealer in Europe that ships to the States?

 

All the best,

Nov 8, 2023. Just seen on German TV.

Best news is some 6-8 of their inks are on sale at a local grocery store. for €12.95.

 

The original company was started in @ 1876 ('36? Wasn't paying attention.), when coal tar dyes came in for a permanent ink. It was once a great big huge company....Big BAROQUE sign as one came into Dresden and left. Huge buildings.

 

Baroque was a Dresden ink, that got nationalized and was about the only ink in East Germany, and typewriter ribbons and early East zone computer printer inks. .....

When the Wall fell and the W. German government  sold for 1 DM, any company that could be dangerous to any W. Germany company....7-8,000 hour life time light bulbs....vs 2,000 hour die fast Western world light bulbs and so many other factories.

 

Baroque inks were shut down three times....the original recipes rest somewhere else....but a couple men, one retired man is keeping the old machines running. The other is filling ink bottles one at a time, by putting the tops on and sticking a label on it...as a brand new start up.

I'll have to look it up, an see what inks he's making.

It seems like "Barock", after the last time they shut down, which was 2011, sort of morphed into Octopus Inks. And now Octopus Inks are restoring the Barock brand.
