Rot - 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?

Tiefgrun (Deep Green) is nice and well saturated. I enjoy using it although I'm more into murkier greens.

My scanner has problem with red color - it always make it pink. The problem with the photo is I make them in daylight and it tends to change. Here's the photo taken when the sun was shining (it's winter now in Poland, not a lot of sun these days).
