Anyone tried any? I see there are a range of inks - many are not for fountain pens - but there is a range for fountain pens...

I understand they are iron gall inks, which are more water resistant and more permanent, but apparently require more regular pen maintenance. That's the main reason I've stayed away from them...

Two or three of them are iron-gall but by no means all are...
Writing Ink
Schreibtinte, Sorte 40
With this range that contains 18 tones of writing inks for fountain pens and quills, Rohrer & Klingner continues an old tradition of ink production. Apart from classical tones (including two iron gall inks), several new colours are available, that have been developed for the primary purpose of calligraphy. On a traditional basis, the inks are produced with inter alia modern raw materials.

The only one I've tried so far is Salix, a blue-black IG. I like it a lot, it doesn't seem as dry as some other IG inks and it retains more of a blue colour after oxidising. Seems to be pretty easy to clean out too.
