I bought into the whole R&K Sketch Ink package only to be a little bit disappointed with some of the colours in the range.
My issue lies particularly with the absence of a straightforward Red and the Greens are also problematic.
The closest red value in the range is the R&K Jule bottle which, is rather murky and like the Greens, resolves on various watercolor papers with a very denatured finish.
Aside from developing a visual accent peculiar to the Sketch Ink range, it's a bit withering that I had to revert to deAtramentis document ink for a straightforward primary Red.
Who makes pigmented ink without the inclusion of the basic primaries!?
Apparently R & K does! Why?
The R&K Sketch Ink Yellow is very biased to the orange spectrum but can be managed thro' successive dilution but this process, aside from the tedium, uses up wells in the mixing palettes.
Anyway, that's some of my ob's to date.
