on saleRobert Oster Velvet Storm - Ink Sample

For reference, I used this ink in a Lamy All-Star with a Fine nib. It ran very smoothly if a little wet. But no bleed-through and just the slightest bit of feathering. This on Rhodia and Tomoe paper. I absolutely loved the almost black tone with the green highlights. I have other samples to try but will certainly get more of this one!

This is an extremely dark forest green - looks nearly black coming out of a fine nib. The shading is not extreme, but when you see it, it's obvious where the name came from. It has an extremely - well - velvety look. It's not a loud color, but it's more interesting than your standard dark green or black. I've been in sample all the things mode recently, but once I settle down, I plan to keep this in the rotation for my everyday writers.

This is a DARK forest green. I'd almost call it more of a black that leans green. The velvet in the name is apt - it dries with a very smooth texture that is very velvety. The ink is very wet in my TWSBI Go with a Fine nib. Slow to dry, but once it dries, it's hard to smudge. The most notable thing is that while the preview image shows a sheen, I am getting NO sheen whatsoever with it.
