New Ink Company Scribo Inks

[greciacret]

Scribo - Scrittura Bolognese, a new fountain pen brand that refers to the OMAS tradition, has inaugurated its own line of inks. I recently received the newsletter communicating the news. Various colors can be seen here: https://www.scritturabolognese.com/en/categoria-prodotto/inks/

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. 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.

Id been waiting for one of their particular inks for some time, the blue grey. 😍

 

Immediately went to order a bottle.

89 euro delivered to UK. 🤣🤣😂😂😢

 

Like one of the dragons from Dragons Den. Im out.

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!

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.

Try Pen Chalet.

Just picked up a bottle of their Blu Cosmico in Florence when we were on holiday - beautiful bottle and really like the ink - free flowing and deep rich colour. Cost me 35 euros. My go to blue ink at the moment!

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.
