This is a very interesting ink, very "vintage" looking. It does need a wet pen. :wub:

 

Check my quick review... https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/309740-robert-oster-signature-inks-part-2/

 

Sometimes copper can look pinkish, so I can see where the name can come from.

 

 

Thanks for the lovely review... :)

Your review is why I tried it! :) I liked it in the flex pen, but in other pens it seemed kind of flat. If I'm using a pink/red in that range, I already have some bottles to use up. I did get a bottle of Australian Opal Mauve & I like it a lot. Edited by julia239

I opened the thread expecting to see something resembling copper. I'm sure copper can sometimes be pinkish but that's probably not people's first thought. Aside from a badly chosen name the color is interesting. It reminds me of a slightly chalky montblanc burgundy red.

Oooooohhh.. I am waiting for my Opal Mauve to arrive... :wub: :wub:

Needless to say, copper can have any number of appearances according to the state of brightness, weathering, whatever. In my experience, I thought this ink looked as much like copper as anything else. Sort of like a moderately faded penny.

Thank you for the great review. I tried this one and really liked it. It is different and grows on you after a while.

It's an unusual colour, quite different from Diamine Ancient Copper (unless my monitor is way off!). This one looks more on the dusky red side of the spectrum. So much so that it looks like it's heading toward Noodler's BSAR.

Oooo that's it! that's what this colour reminds me of! (it's been niggling the back of my mind)

Great review! Doesn't look like copper! :huh:

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      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
