Rohrer & Klingner sketchINK Carmen

I was quite a bit excited when I started review. The colour seemed promising however, in the end the promising colour was due to a not so thoroughly cleaned feed. :(
The colour is quite close to Super5 Delhi (https://fpgeeks.com/forum/showthread.php/40868-Super5-Delhi)which I reviewed prior.

I was excited when I saw the reddish blob in the chroma but in the end was disappointed by the colour. It’s another pure orange.

Writing samples:
As you can see the heading and the F nib is darker but soon after the colour reverted to what it should be.

It's really ugly on copy paper.

And finally a homage at the opera Carmen and the fatal flower that seals the tragic destructive relationship:

Thanks, Yazeh, for pushing through the disappointment to bring us another fun review! :) The color isn't bad from the wetter applications, but doesn't compel me to shop... :) Nice flower drawing. Love Sr. Mouse enamored with Carmen-kitty. :D

Glad, I spared you another orange ;) I'm sure if you mix it with a bit of Klara/Marlene/ Frieda you can create enough murk-dom, but then why bother!
Glad you like the flower and the Carmen Kitty!

I love orange colors (especially when combined with dark grey background).
But this ink is just ... not exciting.

Thank you for taking one for the team, Yazeh! :)

Thank you as always Yazeh. That's another one you've saved me (and I suspect many others) from.

It doesn't detract from how much I like the artwork though - Kitty Carmen is delicious!

I like orange. In inks, in clothing, et cetera. The color doesn't seem soooo very bad, but you know how I feel about nano inks, especially dry ones. Yet you managed to do something very cool with it. Thank you!

I love the tulip and the scene from CarMeow. Olé, Yazeh!
