Standardgraph Malvenrot

[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.

 

 

Malvenrot is averagely saturated red color with pinkish accents. While I even like the color, I must say that ink physical prioprieties are average. It has average flow, average lubrication, average shading. It doesn't feather, so that's pretty cool. On the other hand it's not enough to save it from being mediocre. NOt recommended unless you collect red inks or enjoy dryish inks.

It reminds me of J.Herbin's Rouge Opéra, with a tad more strength.

Thank you. Now why do I have a sudden craving for Raspberries?

Looks close to Diamine Maroon.
