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.
*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.

Taroko Enigma notebooks (68gsm TR)
Dry time: 60 seconds
Water resistance: Low
Feathering: None
Show through: Medium
Bleeding: None
Other properties: low shading, no sheen, and no shimmer.

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.
