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:

      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
