Burgunder - Octopus

Recommended Posts

Recently I reviewed the full (short) line of Super 5 inks. They're something new (pigmented, waterproof, lightfast) but they're produced by well known company Rohrer & Klingner. Does it mean there's no place for new ink producers? Well...



I believe many of you will be thrilled to know there's new ink maker on the market.Octopus Concept GmbH.

The company has web shop selling printer ink and toner, It seems one of their chemists thought he'd enjoy creating fountain pen inks too.



The inks are produced in ten colors and can be purchased in Pelikan style no-nonsense 30 ml bottles , 40 ml bottles and huge 250 ml bottles. The colors are:


  1. Burgunder
  2. Flieder
  3. Karamell
  4. Karibik
  5. Konigsblau
  6. Pinie
  7. Purpur
  8. Rot
  9. Schwarz
  10. Tiefgrun

What caught my attention was good price per ml and interesting and intense shading. Besides I enjoy novelties. I just couldn't resist myself. Hopefully I'm in good, lenient companionship here. Anyway I'll review the full line. Actually I've already done it but there's no haste, is there?



Burgunder rocks. The shading is stunning.

I don't like to mix scans with photos but I;ll do it - remember the color difference is caused by many things : light temperature, color space of canner vs camera etc - anyway the photo shows shading really well. This ink is a looker.

This seems to be a cool red ink, especially for the price.

 

I'm planing to underline, write some notes with a second pen (in the future), and this is tempting, also with Twd Monaco Red (very unexpensive).

 

Thank you for your reviews of this line + callifolio,

they're great helping in choosing some cool new inks,

 

i'm looking forward to others ;)

 

(mb 149 + schwarz = a great deal also)

I really like this one, too (more so than the purples, I think, which is unusual for me). Thank you for doing these reviews. It would be nice to see these available in the US.

I like the Octopus taking a jog.

 

Thank you for the review!

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
