Ink Review #153: Robert Oster Peppermint

Robert Oster Peppermint has been on my wish list for a while. I was provided a sample recently by Vanness Pens, and I'm excited to test it out.

The color...

Peppermint is a medium green with dark pink sheen.

Dry time: 40 seconds

Water resistance: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: Low-only in the flex nib and swab on TR.

Other properties: Medium shading and medium pink sheen. 

On Step Forward 21 lb copy paper, the ink was really well behaved-no problems there.

Ink swabs for comparison, left to right (top to bottom for mobile RSS): Robert Oster River of Fire, Robert Oster Peppermint, and Robert Oster Green at Night.

Longer writing:

I used a Pelikan m805 broad nib on Tomoe River paper. I didn't have any issues with the ink. It had an average to slightly wet flow depending on the pen.

Overall, I really like the color-it's a great green with some nice shading and sheen. I need a full bottle of this one because I really like it.
