Ink Review #2387: Rohrer and Klingner Fernambruk

Rohrer and Klingner Fernambruk is from the standard collection. You can find this ink for sale at most retailers including Vanness Pens.

The color:

Fernambruk is a bright pink red.

*For my swab cards I use a Col-o-ring by Skylab Letterpress, a medium Pilot Ishime and a Mabie Todd Swan.

Swabs:

In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink has some shading.

Writing samples:

Let's take a look at how the ink behaves on fountain pen friendly papers: Rhodia, Tomoe River, and Leuchtturm.

*For my writing samples I use:

Dry time: 60 seconds

Water resistance: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: low shading, no sheen, and no shimmer.

On 20 lb copy paper the ink had some feathering and bleeding in the larger nib sizes.

Comparison Swabs:

Fernambruk is a little more pink than Robert Oster Direct Sun. Click here to see the red inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used a Lamy Safari Strawberries with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has an average flow.

Overall, this ink is well behaved but it leans a bit too pink for me. I prefer a more true red.
