Ink Sample - Robert Oster Ink (Shake n' Shimmy)
This listing contains only inks from the Shake n' Shimmy line by Robert Oster Signature Ink. It does not contain any inks outside of this line that do not contain shimmers.
Our ink samples will come in these tiny adorable glass bottles. They can hold up to 5ml, and you can pick either 3ml or 5ml of each color.
These bottles are meant to be reusable. You can return your 10 empty bottles to us, and your next sample ink will be on us.
Please note that orders containing ink samples may require an extra 2-3 days time as we make our ink samples to order.
the ink, first of all, is gorgeous, and the metallic particles are fine enough the the ink can be freely loaded into fountain nib- and rollerball-tipped pens with no apparent risk of clogging.
i suppose it doesn't mean to discount the quality of this ink that it is of limited application due to its lightness; i have used it well in an ink-washed illustration, but i find its use for writing to be quite limited due to the light pigment saturation.
the shading, to the extent it can be expressed (i could only get it with repeated re-writing or application with a brush), is almost watercolour- or copic-like in its layering capability, but i did not find casual handwriting able to express the shading.
