Ink Review #289: Robert Oster Lipstick Red

 

Today I’ll be reviewing Robert Oster Lipstick Red. This is a faded burgundy.

Swabs: 


This ink had medium shading and no sheen. It is a dark, dusty red. The color is similar to Monteverde Mercury Noir and Robert Oster Frankly Scarlet.

Writing Sample:

This ink was very dry. My Lamy <F> had trouble with the ink flow—I actually thought there was something wrong with the nib/tines.

Overall: Robert Oster Lipstick Red is a very dry ink with medium shading.
