on saleRobert Oster River of Fire - 50ml Bottled Ink

I recently purchased Robert Oster's "River of Fire" ink, and it has quickly become one of my favorite colors for writing. This ink exhibits a deep, balanced mix of green and teal, giving it a very rich character. The vibrant and well-blended shades offer pleasing shading properties, especially when used with my TWSBI Eco and its fine nib, which fully showcases the subtle yet exquisite variations.However, I noticed that with my Pilot Kakuno in a fine nib, the shading is less pronounced. For those who appreciate a more uniform color, this might actually be preferable. In terms of paper choice, I've found that cream paper not only enhances the ink's unique color palette but also complements its rich depths perfectly.While the sheen is minimal to nonexistent, achieving it requires very specific types of paper. Despite experimenting with various papers in my collection, I was unable to coax out any noticeable sheen. Nonetheless, the inherent qualities of this ink are so appealing that the lack of sheen hardly feels like a drawback. I am so taken with the "River of Fire" ink that I'm already planning to restock it to ensure I never run out. It's a must-have for anyone who appreciates the art of writing with beautifully crafted ink.

I really love this color, but what is holding my back from buying more than a sample is the fact that it will smudge days later. I've tried many paper types and no matter which I used it seems to transfer to my hands and then everything else, clothing, desk, etc. This happens even after days of drying. I am heartbroken.

Such a different color. This is not an ink you'd see everyday. Definitely is a creative product and love to find opportunities to use it.

This ink was bought because I fell in love with an orange so went on line for find other colors of subtlety. Want a blue that has the faintest hint of green,as light as if a veil of it had passed over. This Is not quite that but love it since the qualities I mention, coverage and smoothness very much here.Recommend highly. At least what I like. Each of us different.

I've become a big fan of Robert Oster inks and this is one of my favorites. After loading up a pen from a 2 ml sample and writing a few lines of text, it was clear that I'd be ordering a full bottle. It's a beautiful shade of dark green and contains enough other color elements in the blend to keep things really interesting. I'm enjoying it as one of my primary every-day inks at the moment.
