Holunderblau - Standardgraph

[visvamitra]

Standardgraph Zeichentechnik GmbH is german manufacturer of technical drawing instruments, rulers and pencil sharpeners. They also have inks. They manufacture and distribute their own calligraphy products and products from the company Rubinato. I believe Standardgraph inks are made in Germany by Standardgraph.

 

They offer palette of 24 colors. Here's the full line.

 

Holunderblau is moderately saturated ink with nice flow and subtle color. Not really my favourite but not bad either.

It looks like Vintage Sheaffer Violet ink...

Thanks. This plant has, yes, like lots of plants, various hues of practically one and the same colour (here, let's say "lilac"). But since this hue resembles exactly that hue of our holunder tree out in the garden, I really love this ink.

Apart from the fact that a 30-ml bottle of it costed me only 5.39 Euros (0.18 Euro/ml). E.g. a 50-ml bottle of any Waterman's ink comes in at 7.79 (0.16/ml)!

Strangely impressive name, but a very disappointing shade of a color I really like.
