Ink Review #567: Rohrer & Klingner Leipziger Schwartz

Today I will be reviewing Leipziger Schwartz. This is an interesting ink as the swab is quite dark, almost black—but the ink is decisively blue-black in color.

Swabs:

Leipziger Schwartz translates to Leipsician Black and has no sheen and medium shading. This blue-black ink had subtle green undertones.

This ink had a long dry time at 40 seconds and no water resistance.

This ink was very saturated with a wet flow.

Overall: I enjoyed this ink (as I have a soft spot for blue-blacks) but would prefer one with bluer undertones. The color is versatile and can easily be used in the office and class.
