aubergine (2018 special edition)

Ink Review #1086: Rohrer & Klingner Aubergine

This 2018 limited edition ink features brown sheen on Tomoe River paper, has a 20-second dry time, low water resistance, and behaves well on fountain pen-friendly papers with medium show-through. It's comparable to PenBBS 95 Lin Huiyin and Sailor Ink Studio 950.

Ink Review: Rohrer & Klingner Aubergine - The Well-Appointed Desk

Rohrer & Klingner Aubergine is a deep dark purple that shades nicely in various nib sizes and shows yellowy sheen in heavy applications. It leans blue-purple rather than red-plum, distinguishing it from similar inks like Birmingham Pen Co’s Eggplant Parmesan.
