Ink Review #1915: Robert Oster Miami

Robert Oster Miami is from the Cities of America collection. You can find this ink for sale at Vanness Pens.

The color:

Miami is a medium blue with a slight green undertone.

*For my swab cards I use a Col-o-ring by Skylab Letterpress, a medium Pilot Ishime and a Mabie Todd Swan.

Swabs:

In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink has a tiny bit of pink sheen.

Writing samples:

• Rhodia Goalbook

• Taroko Enigma notebooks (68gsm TR)

• Leuchtturm A5

• Pen & Gear Paper from Walmart

Miami is a little darker than Papier Plume Carolina On My Mind. Click here to see the blue inks together.

Longer writing:

I used a Pilot Decimo Nagasawa with a broad nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had an average flow.

Overall, I enjoyed this ink. It’s a nice color and performs well.
