Extra Fine Nib Ink Review: Robert Oster Blue Denim


This is review #63 in my series.  Here's the YouTube video:


Post-recording notes: Color may not be quite green enough in the images, especially the screen shot - hard to tell. Easy cleaning with plain water - the green component wanted an extra flush all to itself... ;)


And here is a screen of the final result, for those not interested in the video:

Thanks for the review -- I had been wondering what this one was like (Robert Oster really does have a lot of nuances in their various blue inks, don't they?).

You're welcome!  And yes, RO has more blues than you can shake a stick at - each just slightly different from its neighbors.  I guess he's out to make the exact shade that everyone likes. :)

Nice one, I can understand why you got it :)

Zany zebras indeed :D

 

Thank you!  It looks very nice from my Homo Sapiens EF - the two get along quite well.  Zany and yet civilized zebras - I mean, you can hardly waltz and not be civilized, right?

That's a matter of debate ;) 

I would argue if a zebra can waltz, it is civilized or worse anthropomorphized..... :D

Well, it's not my fault Quartus was dreaming of anthropomophized zebras.  Blame whoever made up the panagram.  I'm sure it's all their fault. :D

Here's the line width measurement. The line is one of those used for dry time.  Magnification is 100x.  The grid is 100x100µm.  The scale is 330µm, with eleven divisions of 30µm each.  The line width for this ink is roughly 315µm.

      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
