Today is day one of year two in my Midori 5 year journal! For the first year I used Rohrer & Klingner Salix in either the Leonardo Momento Zero Micarta or the Jinhao 9016.

The next year will be Platinum Citrus Black and various pens. Starting with the black Asvine V126.

Para el #juevesdeestilograficas os cuento como me fué mi primera visita a la Papeleria Debod en Madrid, un auténtico templo para los #papeleridos

R&K Salix vs Diamine Registrar's, two iron gall inks. You can see that both inks darken over time. After one day, Diamine Registrar's has barely any blue left in its color and I'm sure it will darken a bit more over the next day or two. R&K Salix loses a bit of vibrancy but remains blue in color.
The funny thing is, while writing, Diamine Registrar's looks very similar in color to darkened Salix but within seconds starts to darken to what can be seen in the bottom right of the image.

Ah yes, R&K Salix is such a beautiful ink! In my every day carry pocket notebook (Clairefontaine paper) it shows nice shading. I've got my trusty Lamy Safari inked up with it. 10/10 would recommend.

Speaking of iron gall ink, this is how Rohrer & Klingner Salix ink behaves when used in a dip pen. I used a nib that can hold a lot of ink, dipped it into the bottle once and wrote until it ran out. You can see the gradient of color intensity as the amount of ink the nib puts down decreases.

I swatched Rohrer & Klingner dokumentus black. It isn't the darkest black out there but it has a faint hint of a greenish-golden sheen that doesn't really show in the image.
What it doesn't have in dark blackness it makes up for with a quick drying time. And it's an archival ink.

I love how quickly Rohrer & Klingner dokumentus black ink dries. Did a big wet blotch of it on a piece of paper and I can watch it make progress drying. Some other inks took hours or days.
