R & K Scabiosa

Iron gall inks are corrosive and require regular pen cleanings, but their good qualities are worth it. Scabiosa is a lovely dusky grey-purple (resembles the old formulation of J. Herbin Poussière de Lune and Diamine Damson). It has dramatic shading on high-quality paper, and on low-quality paper, it bleeds and feathers much less than any standard dye-based ink I've used.

This ink is highly water-resistant. If exposed to water, the purple component of the ink will wash away, but the grey component stays.

Though it flows well in even my driest pen, it provides no lubrication whatsoever while writing. Even so, I enjoy this ink, and may have to buy an entire bottle when my sample runs out.
