 Rohrer and Klingner sketchINK® Klara

Another one of the water/lightproof sketchink series. Very difficult to scan and photograph.  

 

A searing green/blue, that could be hard on the eye 🙄 I recommend using sunglasses to read this review 🕶️

 

I would use this ink mostly for editing and annotating. 

Comparaison

 

Chroma

 

I amused myself to a different type of the review.  Letters of Klara to Baystate Blue her role model

Life

Classic Tomoe River

Tomoe River 68 gr 

Midori

A sketch (don't forget your sunglasses)

Comparison with Baystate Blue on TR 68gr (stub)

And finally a photo:

Dry time is moderate....
Personally I think this ink is best with fine/ ef nibs... 



• Pen used: Noodler’s Ahab / Kanwrite Ultraflex, Pilot Varsity
• Shading: Difficult to see
• Ghosting: None
• Bleed through: None. 
• Flow Rate: Wet
• Lubrication: Nice...it took off the edge off the TWSBI stub....
• Nib Dry-out: Needs a well-sealed pen.
• Start-up: If not used it can dry out, in pens with high evaporation.
• Saturation: Not really
• Shading: Debatable...
• Sheen: No 
• Spread / Feathering / Woolly Line: None. 
• Nib Creep / “Crud”: None
• Staining (pen): It doesn’t stain. But you need a pen cleaner, in my experience.
• Clogging: Nope
• Water resistance: Waterproof 
• Availability: Only in bottle 50 ml bottles.

Enjoy...

Bravo!  Love the letters idea - brilliant.  And the "I feel jaded."   Looking forward to the next one.

Thanks for a great, clever review! The ink color in the scans were kind of bugging me out ...  and then I saw the photo and thought, 'Oh, that's not so bad!'  

 

By the way, if Klara and Baystate got together and had a baby the ironic result would be Robert Oster's Clearwater Rain. (Get it? )

Not too bad! (And quite water resistant, I'm guessing ... 😉)

I kinda like it 'cuz it reminds me of Noodler's Bank Note Green. Also fallible but then there's always R&K's reiniger.

It's not bad. at all.  A little soaking in any reputable solution will do the job, but I guess Reiniger is probably the best....
