I was going to start a post but you beat me to it! I received mine last week and have been playing with it. Yes I got it before it was available to the public. :D Both the box and bottle are impressive. The cap is made of steel and looks very much like caps found on jam jars. Each bottle contains 90mL so it is pretty big. The most interesting part is how it is designed to be stacked. I very much appreciate this feature!

 

Arancio di Sicilia is similar to Diamine Orange. Rosso Melograno is really nice. It's like Diamine Red Dragon, but more vibrant. Blue Capri is similar to Lamy Turquoise and Caran d'Ache Hypnotic Turquois. Overall, Scribo ink has a nice flow. I find their colors rather cheerful.

Thank you both for posting these images of this new ink.

 

The swabs look very nice & the bottles are surely attractive. Hopefully they will be available for purchase from a supplier in the US in the future.

 

They remind me a lot of the recent Aurora colors & I would like to try a couple of them for comparison.

Thank you so much for posting this! They look very interesting. At first I thought they were expensive, but they I saw that the bottle holds 90ml, which makes the ink a bit more affordable.

 

The Blu Capri looks very nice. I would also be interested to try several of the others, particularly the Grigio and the Verde Prato.

Thanks for this nice inauguration. Interesting inks. Especially any representation of Omas will incite me to get some of them. But I don't like the caps.

The stacking bottles are a nice feature, but I can’t help feeling that I’d be paying quite a lot for glass and packaging here.

Their blue grey "Grigio Scribo" is a wonderful ink. I got a small bottle of it free when I ordered a Feel pen directly from Scribo :)

 

I'd say Write Here in Shrewsbury will have these inks before too long, so that may offer a better value proposition for people in the UK.

If you compare the price of Scribo ink to Pilot or Sailor inks, it is not overpriced. Scribo ink bottles contain 90mL.

Those bottles are awesome!

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

Does anyone know a seller in the USA? I checked the usual suspects and didn't find them. Would love to have Arancio di Sicilia and Rosso Melograno.

We have them in stock at Write Here. Not inexpensive, but lovely inks. Made by the company that made OMAS inks.

Some of those colors look interesting.

I can attest to the cheerful appearance of these inks. 

 

Nero Nero - Aurora Black who? 

 

Blu Cosmico - Sailor Jentle Blue Black meets Akkerman Shocking Blue. Red sheen

 

Rosso Chianti - Pilot Iroshizuku yama-budo-esque

 

Rosso Melograno - A brighter Visconti Bordeaux/Red. Truly reminiscent of pomegranate 

 

Blu Capri - A brighter Visconti Turquoise 

 

I noticed smearing with Nero Nero on Tomoe River 68g paper. The flow is smooth throughout.

      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..

      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
