A message from Robert Oster:
My great interest in fountain pen inks – and by extension inks that combine many creative applications – began with the birth of my love of fountain pens in 1989.
As Robert Oster Signature Inks are quite recent to the market, think of the interim between 1989 and today, as the fertile ground into which my present love of all things ink was seeded and grown.
The contents and packaging of my Inks are all nature friendly and the colours a genuine inventory of the Australian palette.
Robert Oster Signature originates from one of the most famous wine producing regions of the world, the Coonawarra district of South Australia, an idyllic setting with great influence on the senses. There is my inspiration. It’s a joy to share it with you.

Customer Reviews
I love this ink. I bought a sample and had to have full bottle!
Gorgeous amber yellow color. Love using it in my Pilot Elite.
Different color. My first amber yellow ink. Great for journaling and easy on the eyes compared to other yellow inks. Its not orange either as I hardly see any red undertones.
I'm still getting the hang of refilling with bottled ink, but I will keep trying. Because this ink is gorgeous!
Very dry. I'm writing with a Pilot Metropolitan M nib and Apica CD notebook and I feel like I have to drag the pen across the page. The color reminds me more of honey mustard than honey. I guess I was expecting a deeper brown color. It's still pretty, with lots of shading. I think I would describe it more like turmeric or goldenrod. Photographs beautifully though. It looks lighter and a bit hard to read in real life.
