Ink Review #480: Robert Oster Orange Rumble

One more orange ink for today, Robert Oster Orange Rumble. This one has been advertised as a 70’s orange, which I think is the perfect description of the color. You can find this ink at Pen Chalet.

The color:

Orange Rumble is a dark 70’s orange.

Swabs:

In large swabs the ink almost looks black when super concentrated.

Writing samples:

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

Dry time: 50 seconds

Water resistance: Low

(You can see on the corner of the page where my son decided to “help” me with dinner and spilled olive oil on my notebook).

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: medium shading, no sheen, and no shimmer.

On Staples 24 lb copy paper there was just a little bit of feathering, and some bleeding the flex nib.

Longer writing:

I used a medium Pelikan M805 Stresemann on an ivory Hippo Noto Notebook. The ink had a slightly wet flow.

Overall, it’s a great color for fall. The dry time is just a bit long, but other than that it behaves well and has a nice flow.
