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.

Fabulous!

This is my new favorite ink. Beautiful, dries quickly. Looks great in my TWSBI indigo blue with bronze accents.

Nice Blue Color but little sheen for me

I like the ink, and all the Robert Oster inks ive tried for that matter. It flows well and looks great. I was hoping for more red sheen though. Ive tried it in my 1.5 mm stub nibs and still get barely any sheen unless i intentionally overwet the nib by dipping it or "forcing" it through. Even my swabs show hardly any. Ive tried it on quite a few good papers as well. Still happy with it overall.

My favorite color!

My wife got me a pen engraved with a few lyrics from a song that reminds me of her. If you could only see, by Tonic for my birthday, so in turn I purchased the color ink that most closely matches her eyes and so now I have my first pen that will only have one color in it forever. And that is Robert Oster Lake of Fire!

Favorite Ink Color

I throw this right into my Parker '51' and it's ready to just glide across my Rhodia dotpads like icing on a cake. The blue has fantastic depth and is professional enough for workplace note taking. Strong Reccomend.

Not a sheener, but a great teal!

This is not a power sheener like Fire and Ice , however once you adjust your expectations you can appreciate the beautiful teal,the nice shading and the very subtle sheen at the edges of the letters which adds an elegance only you will know the secret of. This ink does not lose much in saturation even when diluted 1:1 with water.

FAQs about Bottled Ink

Which pens can accept this ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Any of these fountain pens will work with bottled ink. Typically, as long as the pen can be filled with a converter, has a built-in filling mechanism like a piston, or can be eyedropper-filled, it can accept bottled ink.

What is shading, sheening, or shimmering ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Shading - A common (and often desired) result of a fountain pen ink pooling in certain parts of a letter when writing, so that the color and saturation of the ink appears different within a single letter or word. This characteristic cannot be achieved with ballpoint or rollerball pens and is a very appealing aspect of fountain pen use for those particularly drawn to all the pretty ink colors.

Sheen - Characteristic of a fountain pen ink where when ink pools another color can be seen on top of the ink, especially when looked at in different light angles using certain paper types. There is no way to guarantee an ink will sheen, but using a larger nib on a pen will help obtain sheening results in your writing.

Shimmering - Fountain pen ink that has small particles of glitter mixed in.

Is shimmering ink safe to use in fountain pens? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Yes! Shimmering ink is a great way to add some flare to your writing. We have found that a larger nib will showcase more shimmering particles while writing, but you can use any nib size and shimmering ink. All the ink we sell is safe for use in fountain pens.

You can learn more in our blog: How to Write with Shimmering Ink.

My ink smells funny, is it safe to use? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Generally yes! Ink does not smell good- it usually has a chemical smell, along with other scents such as sulfur, rubber, chemicals or even paint. However, as long as you’re not seeing anything floating in the ink, it should be safe to use.

It’s cold and my ink froze; is it safe to use? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Yes, frozen ink will not hurt your pen (after it’s thawed of course!) The issue with ink freezing is primarily a concern because certain glass bottles could break as the water-based ink expands, and then you’d have a mess!

What is your return policy for bottled ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B
