Ink Review #2117: Robert Oster NYC Pen Show 2022

Today’s ink is Robert Oster New York City Pen Show 2022. You can find this ink for sale at Vanness Pens.

The color:

NYC is a medium blue.

*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 little bit of sheen.

Writing samples:

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

*For my writing samples I use:

• EF Pilot Vanishing Point

• F, M, B Pilot Ishime

• Vintage Mabie Todd Swan (flex nib)

• Rhodia Goalbook

• Taroko Enigma notebooks (68gsm TR)

• Leuchtturm A5

• Pen & Gear Paper from Walmart

Dry time: 20 seconds

Water resistance: Medium

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

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

On 20 lb copy paper the ink had just a little bit of feathering and some bleeding.

Comparison Swabs:

NYC is a little darker than Robert Oster Australis Hydra. Click here to see the blue inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used a Conklin Endura Deco Crest with a broad nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had an average flow.

Overall, this is another good blue Robert Oster ink. I swear he has every shade of blue now.
