Rohrer & Klingner

Rohrer & Klingner is a historic, family-run German ink maker based in Leipzig, renowned for crafting high-quality inks for fountain pens, drawing, and printmaking. Blending traditional recipes with careful modern production, they offer beloved classics (including gentle iron-gall inks like Salix and Scabiosa), vibrant standard fountain-pen colors (check out Helianthus! It's one of my absolute favorites), and specialized lines such as Dokumentus (DIN ISO 12757-2 certified document ink / registrar's ink).

Appreciated by writers, artists, and calligraphers alike, R&K is known for consistent performance, thoughtful color range, and a quietly old-world approach to making ink.
