Gold Antiqua - Robert Oster

[visvamitra]

Robert Oster is new player in fountain pen ink market. He operates through ebay shop. The inks are sold in 50 ml PET bottles with a tightly secure twist cap. I don't know who makes the inks for the shop, but the colors look interesting and fresh. At the moment Robert Oster inks are available in billion colors - I lost track how many.

The color of this ink is simply stunning. It shades richly but on some papers it may take a while to dry completely. It has no water resistance. Basically the ink is strongly saturated but rather easy to clean. This is a steady writing ink. It flows from the pens with no hard starts or gushes. I like it a lot.

This is my favorite Robert Oster ink bar none. So well behaved and such an interesting color. I always have a pen filled with it. Glad you liked it, Vis, and thanks for your review.
