Ink Review #585: Robert Oster Bondi Blue

Today I’ll be reviewing Robert Oster Bondi Blue. This is a bright sky blue, and I must preface this review with:

I’ve had Pride & Prejudice on the brain for months.

But seriously, I don’t think I’ve found a company that nails blues as well as Robert Oster. The inks are well-behaved, varied, and all around pleasing to review.

Swabs:

This ink had low shading and low red sheen.

Tomoe River Paper 52 gsm

Dry Time/Water Resistance:

This ink had a wet, smooth flow. The color is stunning and reminds me of the ocean.

Overall: Is this ink a winner? You bet it is (for me, anyway)! I love the saturation, brightness, and color. I am missing a turquoise ink to add to my collection so this might be it!
