Review by Laura Cameron What color ink I’m craving pretty much changes every week, and last week was a grey week. It’s still bright and sunny here and sometimes way too hot, so a cool grey is a nice contrast. Pilot Iroshizuku Fuyu-syogun (15mL for $9.90), or “Old Man Winter” is that cool grey. Fuyu-syogun…

Ink Review: KWZ Meet me in St. Louis
Review by Laura Cameron Even though the show is over and new shows are on the way, I wanted to post about St. Louis’ special show ink, KWZ’s Meet me in St. Louis. Unfortunately I have no link for this one because it was a special limited run and they are completely sold out. However,…
Ink Preview: Colorverse x Opus88 Inks
Colorverse also released a set of inks in July to coordinate with the Opus88 Koloro and Picmic pen lines.

Ink Review: Jacques Herbin Cornaline d’Egypte 1798
Jacques Herbin 1798 Cornaline d’Égypte (MSRP $28) is the second color in the 1798 ink line and the sixth (!?) in the J. Herbin specialty line of metallic-ish (I say “-ish” because I don’t know how to explain Rouge Hematite) fountain pen inks. The ink was officially released this week so it should be available…
Ink Review: Robert Oster Australian Opal Mauve
Robert Oster Australian Opal Mauve ($17 for 50ml bottle) is one of my favorite, and most recommended ink colors. When people as me for “something different” I recommend either Opal Mauve or Caffe Crema (I still need to do a review of this ink too!). These are two of the non-blue Robert Oster inks that prove…
