Ink Review #274: Robert Oster Frankly Scarlet

Today we’re back in the running with a Robert Oster ink. Frankly Scarlet is a dusty, dark red that clearly draws inspiration from Gone with the Wind. (Frankly my dear…)

Swabs:

This ink had medium shading and no sheen. The color is similar to Papier Plume Lover’s Red.

Tomoe River Paper 52 gsm

Dry Time/Water Resistance:

This ink had a long dry time at 40 seconds and medium water resistance.

Writing Sample:

I found this ink to have an average, slightly wet flow. The ink was pleasant to use without any notable issues.

Overall: This is a faded brick red ink with medium shading. I don’t think I’ll be purchasing a full-sized bottle as this ink is similar to other reds that I have reviewed.
