Emma - Rohrer & Klingner Sketch Ink

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!

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~?

      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
