Emma - Rohrer & Klingner Sketch Ink

[Brandywine]

Wow!

I had seen the sketch inks, too, but until now I thought they were for dip pens only!

 

Now I regret not ordering any with the R+K inks I just received.

I'm always looking for fountain pen inks that are resistant to sunlight and water!

 

I'll keep an eye on them!

Oh, lovely swatches!

Has anyone got Vroni? I hope it'll be a vibrant pink, but the few images I googled show a rather pale, undersaturated pink, which I really dislike.

Thanks, Torrilin.

Also, what are the differences between the "SketchINK" family of inks and R&K's "Dokumentus" line (which are also waterproof)?

 

One difference is, the dokumentus has the DIN certification.

Emma looks similar to Alt-Goldgrün in R&K's standard line of inks. It would be interesting to see a sample comparing the two.

Alt-Goldgrun and sketchINK Emma, though similar, are slightly different colours it seems to me (just from looking at pics online lol, not in person; sorry). Alt-Goldgrun is noticably brighter than Emma, but a wetter nib and the like might change that.

 

I think, the Dokumentus line of inks conform to archival standards; DIN ISO 12757-2 according to R&K's website. And there's no mention of them having nano-pigments to help with the water resistance. SketchINKs meanwhile have nano-pigments in them, but no guarentee for fade-resistance and all else that comes with archival inks.

Anyone got any experience of sketchINK Emma fading? Do nano-particle inks fade, hehe~?
