Today we’ll be tackling Robert Oster Clay Red, a medium brownish red.

Swabs:

This ink had no shading or sheen. The color is a dark rusty brown. It is darker than Sailor Studio 573 and close to Robert Oster Astorquiza Rot.

This ink had an average and consistent flow. I reviewed this ink with my TWSBI <EF> and felt that my writing was noticeably smoother.
