Ink Review: Robert Oster Orange Rumble
Orange Rumble is a relatively new addition to the Robert Oster lineup. It looked nice when I first saw photos of the ink from Rob, but upon seeing it in person I was very impressed! Rob describes the ink as a 1970’s inspired ink. I can see where this is coming from; browns, burnt oranges,…

Shumibun Writing Time Jasper Green is a Sailor store exclusive ink from Shumibun in Japan. The store itself is makes a Fountain Pen magazine for the Fountain Pen market. The store describes the colour as a “deep green mixed with jasper”. There are two other inks in the series (from which I only have a bottle…

Double Ink Review: Colorverse String and Brane
Colorverse String and Brane are the pair of inks from Season 3 “Multiverse” series of inks that I, personally, thought was the most interesting pairing. A nice golden brown and a soft olive green. Brane, which comes in the small 15ml bottle, as opposed the String’s 65ml bottle, is also a shimmering ink but is much…

Ink Review: Pent Ebizome
The Pent inks from the Pen-house store in Japan have been out since the last half of 2017 but they recently expanded their retail presence into the US via Vanness Pens so I thought now would be a good time to show off some one of their inks. The inks are, of course, made by…

Ink Review: Krishna Brown Pink
I’ve wanted to try Krishna inks for quite a while but their shipping prices have, in the past, been very prohibitive. I decided to take the plunge and bought 12 inks from The Pen World and I’m glad I did! Fortunately Krishna have found a way to ship the inks international much, much cheaper than in the…

I’m going to be talking about how various brands have performed this year and what I hope for next year. This will be, of course, focused…

Ink Comparison: 32 Black Inks
This black comparison has been in the works for a while and with resent additions to my Noodler’s collection I thought it was ready to go. Blacks aren’t terribly exciting inks but they are practical inks and people usually approach them for a specific reason and usually there are things that people are looking to…

Ink Review: Robert Oster Velvet Storm
This ink as some very unique sheen. It doesn’t have a lot but what it does have reacts very differently depending on the paper. Robert Oster teased this ink in August and announced the name in September. “Velvet Storm” is a great evocative name for an ink and suites this dark blue-green ink. Thank you to Pen Chalet who…

Ink Comparison: “Blackstone Blues” Barrier Reef Blue, Sydney Harbour Blue, Blue Cypress and Blue Gum
Blackstone Ink from Just Write in Australia recently released a set of Scents of Australia inks. These inks compliment the older Colours Of Australia lineup. Two of the inks from each set are blue (or are at least called blue) and I wanted to see how they compared to each other. Barrier Reef Blue is one…

Ink Review: Organics Studio Ralph Waldo Emerson Twilight Blue: “the third sheeniest ink in the world”
Organics Studio did what only few ink companies have done; made an ink that really creates a buzz. With Nitrogen Royal Blue, Organics Studio made an ink that everyone was (and still is) talking about. The same thing happened with J.Herbin’s Stormy Grey and Emerald of Chivor, and also with Robert Oster Fire & Ice. Nitrogen…
