    Default Ink Review: Rohrer & Klingner sketchINK Lotte

    Rohrer & Klingner Leipzig-Co. makes many excellent quality inks, and has been making inks and more in Germany since 1892. A renowned ink maker that doesn’t seem to be mentioned as much as some others.

    Today I’m reviewing another one of Rohrer & Klingner’s Sketch Inks: Lotte. These sketch inks are nano-pigmented inks, so the usual warnings about not leaving them in your unused pens for long periods, and exercising good pen hygiene should be followed.

    Lotte is a black ink that’s a strong black. It’s quite saturated and exhibited no shading. I found it nicely wet to write with. Very good flow through my pens, and smooth lubrication across the paper. A black ink that’s good for sketching and writing.

    It wrote with very tight, crisp lines, as is common with pigmented inks, and it dried quickly on my Clairefontaine Triomphe paper. It is lightfast and completely waterproof when dry, but while wet can be mixed with water to make an attractive wash onto the paper. For sketching those are excellent qualities.

    • Start-up: Immediate.
    • Flow Rate: Very good - felt quite wet but dried quickly.
    • Lubrication: Very good - felt smooth across the page.
    • Saturation: Quite saturated. Dark black.
    • Spread / Feathering / Woolly Line: Not seen.
    • Show-through / Bleed-through: None seen.
    • Nib Dry-out: Not seen.
    • Clogging: Not seen.
    • Nib Creep / “Crud”: Not seen, even after several days in the pen.
    • Staining (pen): Didn’t stain my sections or converters.
    • Staining (hands): Washed off easily.
    • Water resistance: A completely waterproof ink.

    Cool Re: Ink Review: Rohrer & Klingner sketchINK Lotte

    That is pretty black, though it does seem paper dependant, as shown by your comparisons some of which have a more brown tone.

    I can't see any brown tones on the additional papers. Maybe slightly less black but leaning grey rather than brown.

    They look brown-tinged on the other papers for me too (but screens may vary!)
