Robert Oster is new player in fountain pen ink market. He operates through worldwide network of wholesalers. The inks are sold in 50 ml PET bottles with a tightly secure twist cap. I don't know who makes the inks for the shop, but the colors look interesting and fresh. At the moment Robert Oster inks are available in billion colors - I lost track how many.

Sample of Blue Black was sent to me by Akszugor. The color is rather generic, but I liked this ink. It feels wet in my Kaweco Sport and the flow is very good. Lubrication could be better but the level we get is sufficient to enjoy writing. I wouldn't mind having more of this one.

NIce review! I really do like this type of b-b. Yes, I'm making things more complex than they already are... but this hue is sort of a middling thing-of-a-bob between a true blue-black (don't ask me to define that) and a very dark blue or midnight blue or navy blue, e.g. like one of my very all-time favourites... S.T.Dupont's Bleu Nuit / Dark Blue (Réf. 040111). Thanks for the hint!!

Yet another good and informative review. I've got some but not used it yet. Looks a good, standard blue-black as other comments suggest as well.

A small step for all mankind but a huge one for me.... this ink is available in a 50-ml cask but my above-mentioned Dupont comes only in cartridges (since about 15 years ago, I think).

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      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

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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
