But if this kind of inky trickery is not your cup of tea, then you’ve been sufficiently warned. It’s pretty magical and mesmerizing to write with. So… if you collect blue inks, sheening inks or turquoise inks with the same wild abandon that I do, you’ll not want to wait a second to order a bottle of Fire & Ice. And finally, I included Private Reserve Daphne Blue and Akkerman Treves-Turquoise which both sheen a bit but are much lighter, brighter cool blues. Sailor Yama Dori and Pilot Iroshizuku Ku Jaku both have sheen but are closer in color to Oster Aqua than Fire & Ice. Torquay is much more turquoise, Blue Denim is a darker blue and Aqua looks more teal comparatively. Oster’s Aqua, Torquay and Blue Denim all sheen as well but are different colors of blue. Callifolio Omi Osun is very close in color but does not have the sheen. I also included all the other bluish Robert Oster inks. I hope the swatch comparison above helps show where Fire & Ice falls in the “blue and sheen-y” ink category - at least in my ink collection. I’ll be buying lots of empty glass bottles from Vanness to store my inks for sure. I even don’t mind the slender shape for storage but I know I’m going to get to a point with every single one of my Oster inks where I’m going to need to transfer them to other containers in order to get the inks out of the bottle. I don’t mind the plastic part, since the inks ship all the way from Australia, I appreciate the overall weight reduction of the plastic and the dark material of the plastic. Its the only sticking point I have with their inks. The Oster inks still comes in the tall, slender 50ml plastic bottles, for better or worse, depending on your perspective.
This is one of the Oster inks with a lot of sheen so if that’s something you like in your inks, this is definitely a color to consider.įire & Ice is a blue ink that leans to the dark turquoise (ice) side with a red/magenta sheen, hence the “fire”.
It was sold out on Vanness Pens as soon as it was available so I had to wait a couple weeks to get a bottle of my own. I could not wait to get my hands on Robert Oster Signature Fire & Ice ink ($16).
