Robert Oster Ten Dollar Inks

Recently Robert Oster created a set of inks called the Aussie Ten Dollar Bill Series. You can find these inks for sale at Vanness Pens.

Swabs:

Left to right: Gold, Green, Teal and Blue.

Writing samples:

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

Dry Time: 30-40 seconds

Water Resistance: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: All four had low shading.

On Walmart Pen + Gear copy paper there was some feathering in every nib size as well as some bleeding.

Comparison Swabs:

Ten Dollar Gold is closest to Taccia Sharaku-natane.

Ten Dollar Green is a little less yellow than 3 Oysters DIY Green.

Ten Dollar Teal is a bit brighter than Laban Poseidon Green.

Ten Dollar Blue is pretty close to Sailor Ink Studio 441.

All four had average flows.

Overall, I enjoyed all four of them. To me the Gold is the most unique out of the four, but all four are well behaved.
