Franklin-Christoph Dark Chocolate

[white_lotus]

As part of my expansion of the ink collection in the brown range beyond its already vast range, and from visvamitra's reviews of some of their other inks, I picked up this ink, as well as the Brown which I've already reviewed. Color-wise, it's not quite the match for PPM that I had hoped, being an authentic brown instead of a brown-black, but a very good ink.

 

Tested on Mohawk via Linen, Hammermill 28 lb Inkjet, and Clairefontaine papers.

 

The iPhotos came out darker than I wanted.

 

The wash is closer of an Indian Red instead of the brown shown here.

 

 

Not terribly waterfast in the blotting test. Even after just a minute, nearly all the ink lifts off the paper. The ink washes with an Indian Red earth color (for those familiar with the traditional watercolor earth pigments).

 

Fairly interesting chromatography.

I have a bottle of this FC ink and use it quite regularly. I really like the color and find it well behaved. Thanks so much for your comprehensive review, White_Lotus.

Glad you like it (ink and review). To get four from Cyber6 is always welcome.
