View fullsize I’ve purchased this ink on a whim, not knowing what to expect beyond the colour of th eink. I’m pleasantly surprised to find how good a shading ink this is. Like its name, the colour is deep and rich. The dark teal appeals to me a lot. And the dryness is a good…

My thanks to Ana of Well Appointed Desk for the ink sample. Frankly Blue isn’t quite blue. At least to my eyes, it’s bordering on teal. It shades well even in my Japanese fine nib, going from a dark teal to a muted teal. Frankly blue is a dry ink with flair. I really enjoy…
This is Hippo Noto’s exclusive Robert Oster Signature ink. It is named Hippo Purple. At first I thought for an ink named purple, it doesn’t look very purple but Robert Oster Signature had revealed that the brief was for the ink to look like the purplish skin of an actual hippo. Thus, it doesn’t look…
My thanks to Glenn for the ink sample. Robert Oster Motor Oil is a deep dark brown-green colour. And it looks just like motor oil or sludge. This is most definitely not my favourite colour. It looks like a very dark Pilot Iroshizuku Ina Ho. And it is giving me the Ina-Ho vibes. (I don’t…

View fullsize My thanks to Goldspot Pens for sending me a bottle of Robert Oster Aussie Gold. Aussie Gold shades well, going from dark olive oil colour to pale yellow. Even with how light yellow inks tend to be, Aussie Gold shows up well even in my TWSBI EF nib. Personally, yellow inks are never…
My thanks to Glenn for the ink sample. Robert Oster Green Diamond is a solid green, bright and strong. It does shade. It shades best with the 1.1mm stub nib. Robert Oster Green Diamond reminds me of Montblanc Irish Green. The green just pops right off the page. Though it isn’t my kind of green…
View fullsize Orange Zest, as the name suggests, is a bright orange colour. The colour really pops right off the page. It has subtle shading. It goes from a strong bright reddish orange to a muted yellowish orange. I really enjoy this particular shade of orange. It reminds me of Diamine Pumpkin but with shading.…
View fullsize My thanks to Fook Hing for providing me with the ink for review and giveaway. Cherry Blossom is a dusty pink ink that shades. It’s a shade of pink that’s a nice blend of red and purple. And it’s one truly unique colour. It goes from a dark reddish purple to a muted…
