The ink of my choice was not available, so Joost choose another color for me. He did a great job with that. I love the RO inks, bright, vibrant colors, great flow, very useful bottles and not unimportant: the name of the ink is on the top of the cap, so I don’t have to take all my bottles out to find the one I’m looking for. I wish all the brands did that! This turquoise is on the teal-side of the spectrum and perfectly fit with my Wahl Eversharp Signature in Jade. That is the same material as the Leonardo Furore Grande Smeraldo is made of, so that would be a perfect match too!
I asked Appelboom to choose a color for me, cause the one I wanted wasn't available.
I received Pinky and Morning Mist, and it was a very good choice for me ! I like them both. Appelboom has a really nice team, thank you so much ! :-)
Handige fles, prachtige kleuren en schrijft goed. Is dan ook wat duurder dan een flesje Diamine. Jammer dat niet alle inkt van RO te krijgen is in Nederland! Zo had ik bijvoorbeeld graag de Shake'n'Shimmy lijn kunnen bestellen.
Niet mijn eerste RO inkt en ook zeker niet mijn laatste. Zelfs voor mij als linkshandige een fijne inkt met een prachtige tint blauw.
De fles is stevig.
Een pen die gevuld was met deze inkt laat zich eenvoudig reinigen.
I bought this ink thinking it would be a good mimic to Lamy's Dark Lilac. While close, not close enough in my opinion. You need good paper (rhodia, tomoe river, etc) to get this color. At the same time, it may get closer to that effect if it reduces/evaporates. Since this is a purple color, it may have flow issues for some people. You can solve this by adding a drop of dawn/liquid dish soap.
RO Grey Seas: This ink is a light Greyish Blue color. This ink in my experience does represent itself better in broader nibs as most do, or at least those with better flow back (too much and you get away from the Greyish Blue color). I have not had any flow issues with his ink yet. The photos you can find online for this ink are a pretty good
I love Robert Oster inks. Well-behaved ink and nice to write with, but it’s also fun to make art with them. If you think Summer Storm and Graphite are grey and black, add the ink to a wet surface and you’ll be surprised by the colours appearing.
Of course the service by Appelboom was also good, as always.
