kruthikarshankarbased on the description, yes! " 10 Shades of Waterproof Fountain Pen Ink From Rohrer & Klingner, a German company that’s been making ink for 125 years, the SketchINK füllhaltertinte—or fountain pen inks—come in a variety of colors, each one waterproof and lightfast. Designed for use in stylographs, they work just as well with quills and brushes. The formula features nano pigments for optimal ink flow, and is ideal for creating fine, fast-drying lines and brilliant highlights when mixed with water. Everyone, from fountain pen enthusiasts to graphic artists and architects, can find something to love about these inks. Please note that SketchINK, like all waterproof inks, can cause clotting in fountain pens. To address clotting and for regular maintenance, try a cleaning solution like Rohrer & Klinger’s Reiniger. "

kruthikarshankarYes but my general experience using waterproof ink is that they tend to dry in the pen's nib/feed more easily (fix by wetting your nib to get it restarted). I am a sketcher so had high hopes for the waterproofs but so far the only one that isn't annoying this way is Noodlers Lexington Gray. I do love the orange 'Delhi' waterproof Super5 ink (made by Rohrer and Klingner and probably identical to the orange proffered here) but it does dry in my pen. I also have the Super5 reddish brown 'Australia' ink but I find its color too muted.

kruthikarshankarI have used this ink without clogging However I have mixed this ink with other inks to get better ink flow and color Variation. Once they are mixed , I have used them with out any problem. I do think care is needed by using their cleaner if used straight without dilution or mixing

jaguarishI have exactly those same inks and experiences. I now use the R&K Super5 inks only when I know I will be able to use them up quickly and then must clean out the pen promptly. Lucky for me the Noodlers pens are easy to pull apart. I had to not only soak the parts, but also scrub the feed with a toothbrush. Lexington Gray and Kaweco Smoky Grey are no problem and I had been enjoying the platinum lavender black (runs a vivid pink wash when wetted but leaves the black line behind) and khaki black (barely runs a pale tan wash). Sailor blue black tends to dry up slightly in the nib but I don't think it's clogging.

kruthikarshankarI'm waiting for my shipment to arrive but I have the grey (Thea) and it's performed great. I have it in a cheap pen just in case but it's been fine. Make sure the pen has a good seal in the cap, though.
