Rohrer & Klingner Alt-Goldgrün—A Handwritten Review

[mhphoto]

Here's one of my favorite obscure inks. It's such an odd color. I'm pretty sure my parents have a can opener from the 1970s that is this color…

Fantastic presentation of great ink.

Thanks for the review.

Still trying to make up my mind about whether or not I like this yellow a green....

working my way through a sample now

 

awesome ink, well behaved, works even in my dry stubbed Baoer 388 (the green lizard one, of course)

 

thanks for the thorough review

I use it in whimsical cards and in regular rotation for my journal writing--it breaks up any dull expanse of prose

Love the review! This is one of my favorites and you presented it very nicely. Thanks for sharing.

Great review of an ink that has been one of my favourites for several years. It has a lovely vintage (perhaps antique?) look on the page and, for me, works best from a pen with a generous Medium or Broad nib. I think that this can be seen from your lovely writing sample. The one thing that I would disagree with is that the colour is drab, the gold element is too bright for that - to my eyes at least.

 

Thanks again for an excellent review.

Ordering a bottle of this, Verdigris and Helianthos with my next pen purchase. Looking forward to it even more now, thank you!

Yeah, the gold in this does for the green what the gold in Noodler's Golden Brown (which I also love) does for the brown.

Thanks for the great review!

 

I absolutely love Alt-Goldgrun. It's one of those inks that is very unique and catches the eye of even non-FP people.

Close to the color of quite a few disagreeable things and yet gorgeous.

Thank you for the review. I have been on the fence about trying this ink. i'm going to need to pick up a sample now!
