I personally vouch for this brand! In the EU it is particularly cheap so I bought a lot of these bottles. My top 3 inks of this brand are, in no particular order:
- Salix: nice blue-black, it has some nice shading and it's waterproof. A wonderful everyday ink.
- Sunflower aka Helianthus: one of the only two yellows I use. Easy on the eye and nicely saturated (so with a pretty low level of shading).
- Grey Green aka Verdigris: the ink for those who grew tired of both black and blue-black inks for everyday writing. It's some kind of deep teal, so you might consider it a blue-black-green.
Royal Blue (aka Konigsblau) and Cassia are other colors some of you might find particularly nice.
Mind that R&K inks might tend to have medium to long drying time, so I wouldn't recommend them for left-handed or uses that cause your hand to slide on what you just wrote.

AlexGkon tomoe river paper and rhodia paper R&K ink dries in 5-7 seconds if wet nib is used and around 2 seconds with dry nib. it's not long, especially comparing to noodler's and private reserve inks.

EreshkigalI was talking about R&K inks in general. I'm currently using Scabiosa on a EF Lamy pen, and I get similar results too. But with wider nibs, and with other colors from R&K, drying times weren't exceptionally good for my liking. I'm probably just more used to faster drying inks. Iroshizuku inks dry pretty fast on Rhodia (but they cause a lot of feathering if the nib is too wet), while Aurora doesn't feather at all, but wetter nibs cause it to dry (obviously) much slower. I admit, I'm a Fine nib guy, so my measurements of drying times aren't really that accurate in all conditions :)
