Robert Oster - Blue Water Ice
Robert Oster inks are consistently good writing inks and come in a huge range of interesting colors. Blue Water Ice continues that trend. This is a beautiful writing ink, and a beautiful blue. I’ve done my best to color-correct to accurately match the ink, but it's nicer, and more interesting in person, than I have been able to capture. I’d call it a combination of deep turquoise and traditional mid-blue, with a tiny hint of yellow.
Written strokes are well-defined. The brilliant red sheen that is so visible in the ink splatter, is also sometimes visible on the edges of written strokes. There‘s also a nice amount of shading. This is a fairly quick drying ink, but it’s wet and juicy in the nib.
If you’re looking for an interesting blue that works as an everyday ink, you should consider trying Robert Oster Blue Water Ice.
