Rohrer & Klingner operates since 1892. At the moment it’s the fifth generation of the family that manages the company. I guess that after 122 years they know what they are doing.
R&K inks offer amazing quality for amazing price. In my country a bnottle of R&K ink costs 5-6 $. I know it’s a bit more expensive in America, yet I believe the price is still reasonable.
I find it interesting that Rohrer & Klingner seems to focus mainly on the content and not on the bottles. Inks come in industrial looking bottle taht is quite handy but there’s just nothing fancy about it. It’s surprising.
Anyway they offer eighteen colors, some stunning, some boring but all have good qualities and are easy to clean.

It’s time to re-review this inks.
I never liked Verdura and time didn’t change it. I used to think it was ok ink and I guess it’s still ok but I practically never use it. There’s nothing wrong with the ink – it’s well behaved and shades and all. It’s just the hue doesn’t appeal to me.

Not one of my favourite greens, but not as eye-destroying as Smaragdgrün.
If I had to only use one brand of ink, it would be this one. As you say, great quality for great price. A good range of colours that can all be mixed except for Sepia.
