Standardgraph Burgunder

[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, but I'm not 100 % sure. Correct me if I'm wrong

 

They offer palette of 24 colors.

 

 

 

Burgunder is averagely saturated red wine color ink. While it's definitely not the most interesting bordeaux in the inky wild, it's reasonably priced and well behaved. I haven't experienced any clogging, feathering or bleedthrough. It doesn't offer any useful water resitance and lubrication could be better. I would say it's on the drier side so to really enjoy this smooth matte color I would advice you to use it in broad and wet nib.

Thanks for another thorough review. Of the less expensive German-made ink ranges I much prefer Octopus Burgunder to the Standardgraph version.

Yes, Octopus made their Burgundy richer and better.
