Customer Reviews
Always looking for the perfect pink, and this is definitely a contender.
Others have mentioned the ink is dry, which I have avoided experiencing by inking up a 1.1mm stub. The ink seems fine to me, and leaves behind a beautiful dusty pink line.
I have tried a lot of pink inks and this is my favorite so far. It is a beautiful soft rose with just the right amount of shading. I have not had any issues with the flow. I am using it in my Lamy Safari with a 1.9 stub nib. The writing in the photo was on a Mnemosyne note pad. I definitely plan on getting the full size bottle of this ink.
Gorgeous color and shading! I'm using it in a wet-writing pen with a broad nib, and have experienced no problems. In a drier pen, I might use an ink lubricating additive, based on other reviews. I've used this ink on Clairefontaine white paper, on Goulet's Tomoe River notebook, on an ivory Minimalist Art paper, and even on a cheap copy paper, and it is lovely on all of them.
I really like this color but if you are looking for a saturated rose, this is not it. Noodler's Black Swan in English Roses is the more saturated in this color family. That being said, this looks better on white paper than a cream and is a soft, romantic color and a great flow and shading as all Robert Oster inks are
