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...

Cheers/Petra

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. :cloud9:

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?). :rolleyes:

Please tell me if you liked it when you have tried and please please don't sue me if you don't.

Happy to hear the review inspired you!

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
