Today I'm reviewing SBRE Brown ink. It's manufactured by Diamine and retailed exclusively by Akkerman inks. SBRE Brown is a yellow/brown ink. Instead of comparing it against brown inks, I think it looks most similar to Diamine Ochre (aka Conway Stewart Kingsand.) It's an attractive shade, ideal for writers who don't like reddish brown inks. Flow Rate: Good. Felt neither wet nor dry in the pen & paper combinations I used..Lubrication: Good with all 3 nibs I used, on several different papers.Nib Dry-out: Not noticed.Start-up: Immediate.Saturation: Not a saturated ink.Shading Potential: Some seen.Sheen: None seen.Show-Through:Clairefontaine Crokbook Paper (not much. Writing on both sides would be acceptable.)Midori paper.Oxford paper.Rhodia Graph paper.Tomoe River 52gsm paper.Cheaper generic 80 & 90gsm printer papers & lined pads.Spread / Feathering / Woolly Line: None seen.Nib Creep / “Crud”: Not seen, even after over 1 week in the penStaining (pen): Not seen after several days - very easy clean-upStaining (hands): Easy clean-up with bar soap.Clogging: Not seen. Seems unlikely.Water resistance: Not sold as waterproof, but has good water resistance.Availability: Available from Akkerman Inks web-site in 120ml bottles. For UK buyers the cost is £35 including VAT & P&P.
