I bought this to have mostly as a highlighter ink. It will suit for that purpose, too, but this is a lovely yellow ink that should be used for more purposes than just highlightning. It reminds me of summer and the yellow colour resembles sunflower so much that I almost think I even feel a hint of the delicate sunflower scent. I wish it were summer...

In the meantime (for us north of the equator) this ink will give a glimpse of summer. It is also very wellbehaved...

Thank you P2P! I realised after a few minutes with this ink that I was smiling because this yellow made me so happy. Just like sunflowers do in the summer.

This is a fabulous ink! Definitely leans to a wonderful warm and bright yellow.

Also, Rohrer & Klingner's Helianthus/Sunflower is a dead-ringer for Pelikan's looooong-discontinued Helianthus!

Based on this review and the comments it generated, I have just ordered the R&K Helianthus/Sunflower ink. I have been looking for a yellow with some here-I-am intensity and this seems to be it. It should arrive close to the time that my Pelikan M640 Sahara arrives. I'm hoping to wed the two as I like to correlate barrel color(s) with ink. Without the FPN I never would have heard of R&K. Thanks all. (or should I hold the thanks until I see the ink?).
