Another review, another Robert Oster ink, this time Graphite. It’s a dark grey ink with a slight greenish undertone. It’s actually rather similar to Robert Oster Signature Grün-Schwarz. Comparing between the two, Graphite is the lighter colour and it shades way more easily. Personally though if you have the one, you probably don’t need the…

View fullsize Sublime is a light yellow-green colour. I am beginning to suspect Robert Oster Signature is a genius at yellow-green inks. I think this is much closer to Pilot Iroshizuku Chiku Rin but way more readable and vibrant. It shades from a fresh grass green to a pale faded yellow-green. Coupling it with a…

Grün-Schwarz translate from German to English as green-black and this ink lives up to its name. Grün-Schwarz shades slightly to show its green underbelly from time to time even in a F nib though the paper you use plays a big part. If you are looking for a corporate appropriate ink that has some character,…

My thanks to Robert Oster for sending me the ink sample! Lemon Grass is a strange blend of green and yellow. It’s more subdued than I had expected. It shades but only subtly. Lemon Grass has a grey undertone to it. I think it looks pretty much like its name sake. However I would really…
