Robert Oster Signature Inks (Picture Heavy)

Thanks Migo... I understand and agree with you about Burgundy, is not a real "burgundy"... BUT, I DO LOOOOVE my "Robert Oster's Burgundy"... I find it very rich and sheeny and is like a richer redder ancient copper. I really like it, and don't care that it doesn't fit the name. "A rose by any other name.... " ;)

 

 

Waiting on Moss too... I know I am going to love that one... :wub: :wub:

The name really threw me. I find it too anemic to be burgundy, but lovely if you think of it as a red copper.

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

I like the Emerald. It looks like what I think of as emerald, green.

vs. the Diamaine Emeraud de Chivor which is a teal color, which I understand is similar to that particular emerald.

I have to thank you for this wonderful effort that was profoundly successful and generous.

 

I am just starting to look at his inks and WoW.

Arriving late to this thread (as is my custom... :mellow: ), but just bought my first three Robert Oster inks. Here's Torquay —which seems not to have it's own thread, if my search on FPN is correct...

I like it. More similar to Diamine Marine than I would have imagined, but not quite the exact value. [The instigator in me wants to suggest that these Oster inks are really Diamine inks —the same way that people think that Akkerman inks are made by Diamine... ;) wink-wink ]

The instigator in you will be very wrong.... ;)

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast. 
    • Ceilidh
      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
