Rubin Red - Online

[visvamitra]

To be honest I don't know much about Online Schreibgeräte pen company. It was founded in 1991 by Alexandra and Thomas Batsch. It seems they're quite popular in some countries and their products are rather good. I haven't however, tried any of their pens. I've managed to take samples of two of their inks from a friend.

The company offers six inks in funny and small bottles that contain 15 ml of liquid. I would sat that for 3,95 euro / ml they're not cheap:

I was able to put my hands on Samaragd and Rubin Red. Both are well behaved ink, however I'm not really keen on colors.

Rubin Red is rather boring shade of red. Decent ink in general, but there's just nothing special about it.

I know it's not a lot of scans but I didn't manage to make good photos of this one and the small sample is gone
