Ink Review #1111: Robert Oster Go Go

It seems I’m still stuck on purple inks lately-let’s take a look at Robert Oster Go Go. I purchased my sample of ink from Pen Chalet.

The color:

Go Go is a cool tone medium purple. It’s much warmer toned when wet and cools in tone as it dries.

Swabs:

In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink has a little bit of gold sheen.

Writing samples:

Let's take a look at how the ink behaves on fountain pen friendly papers: Rhodia, Tomoe River, and Leuchtturm.

Dry time: 10 seconds

Water resistance: Medium

Feathering: Low-there was some feathering in the flex nib on Rhodia.

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: low shading, tiny gold sheen, and no shimmer. The sheen was only visible in large swabs on Tomoe River Paper.

On Staples 24 lb copy paper there was some feathering in most nib sizes and just a few dots of bleeding.

Comparison Swabs:

Go Go is a little bit cooler in tone than Pilot Iroshizuku Jurojin. Click here to see the Robert Oster inks together, and click here to see the purple inks together.

Longer writing:

I used a Pelikan M600 Violet with a fine nib on a Taroko Enigma A5 notebook. The ink had an average flow.

Overall, I was surprised by how much the tone of this ink cools as it dries. It dries quickly, is a beautiful color and has some shading too.
