Flieder - Octopus

[visvamitra]

Recently I reviewed the full (short) line of Super 5 inks. They're something new (pigmented, waterproof, lightfast) but they're produced by well known company Rohrer & Klingner. Does it mean there's no place for new ink producers? Well...

I believe many of you will be thrilled to know there's new ink maker on the market.Octopus Concept GmbH.

The company has web shop selling printer ink and toner, It seems one of their chemists thought he'd enjoy creating fountain pen inks too.

The inks are produced in ten colors and can be purchased in Pelikan style no-nonsense 30 ml bottles , 40 ml bottles and huge 250 ml bottles. The colors are:

1. Burgunder
2. Flieder
3. Karamell
4. Karibik
5. Konigsblau
6. Pinie
7. Purpur
8. Rot
9. Schwarz
10. Tiefgrun

What caught my attention was good price per ml and interesting and intense shading. Besides I enjoy novelties. I just couldn't resist myself. Hopefully I'm in good, lenient companionship here. Anyway I'll review the full line. Actually I've already done it but there's no haste, is there?

Let's take a look at Flieder - personally I sincerily dislike this color. It writes well though, so if you like this kind of shades you should pleased with Octopus Flieder (Lilac).

Yeah, this is the Lamy green of purples.

[amberleadavis]

Nah -- it's pretty, but not retinal searing.

 

Close, but not as bright as this ink.

Argh!

I remember that KWZI ink . . .

[amberleadavis]

I know, it wasn't your thing, but I LOVE it. I think Konrad isn't making it right now.

[Tas]

Shame. That ink was made for you . . .

[amberleadavis]

I know! I hope he makes it again, because you know I NEED a bottle of that PURPLE!!!
