Unfortunately, R&K Salix did not work out in my TWSBI Diamond Mini. I switched back to R&K dokumentus black and put Salix into a TWSBI Eco. Let's hope that works better. I really wanted an iron gall ink in my carry-everywhere fountain pen but as it turns out, this combination of pen and ink just isn't ideal. The much wetter dokumentus ink doesn't cause any issues whatsoever in this pen and I think I'll stick with it for a while. It does feather and bleed on low quality paper but I think I'll just have to live with that. On the plus side, R&K dokumentus is a document-grade archival ink that is ISO 12757-2 certified.

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.

Oooh exciting! Wrote the first couple of pages of my very first letter to my very first pen pal. I mostly used waterproof ink because that letter will travel to another country and I can only imagine what it might encounter along the way.
I'll make a decision tomorrow as to whether it's finished or if I write some more.
