50ml plastic bottle of Robert Oster Signature fountain pen ink in the color Deep Purple.

Deep Purple is part of the "Get.set.GO" palette of inks for late 2018, which includes Burned Orange, Crocodile Green, Deep Purple, Dragon's Night, Hot Pink, Red Candy, and True Blue. In the words of Robert Oster, this collection is is inspired by "The landscape around me.. the colours I see in birds.. flowers, leaves and even the bark of Australian trees.. all composites of the palette for this set of seven."

Deep Purple represents the color of the "Aussie Gum tree bark after the rain."

All Robert Oster Signature Inks are handmade in Australia. The recyclable PET bottles are manufactured in Australia's first carbon neutral plastics plant.

Note: Robert Oster is in the process of changing the labels on their bottle and the label on the bottle you receive may vary from what is pictured here.

A message from Robert Oster:

My great interest in fountain pen inks – and by extension inks that combine many creative applications – began with the birth of my love of fountain pens in 1989.

As Robert Oster Signature Inks are quite recent to the market, think of the interim between 1989 and today, as the fertile ground into which my present love of all things ink was seeded and grown.

The contents and packaging of my Inks are all nature friendly and the colours a genuine inventory of the Australian palette.

Robert Oster Signature originates from one of the most famous wine producing regions of the world, the Coonawarra district of South Australia, an idyllic setting with great influence on the senses. There is my inspiration. It’s a joy to share it with you.

My first Robert Oster ink

I just used this ink in a new pen. It looks good and it is a pretty good true purple, which I was hoping for.

Robert Oster Deep Purple

The ink is very watery and washes away easily. That being said, for the type of ink which it is, it's acceptable. This is good because the deep color more than makes up for the ink's lack of mordancy. The purple is pure and very very deep, such that if black is not written on the same page, it is easy to confuse it with black. So still in search of the perfect purple, I also purchased two bottles of Velvet Crush. Velvet crush is much lighter than deep purple, but on its own it's a little too light and without enough body to be taken seriously as a grown up purple. Mixing the two together in roughly equal proportion: deep purple and velvet crush; produces a color which is immediately recognizable as purple, but is deep enough to have real gravitas in the world of adult purples.
Seriously, either color, by itself or mixed with the other, will satisfy those who like myself, are purple addicts.

Has character

Deep purple is a great color. Has to be because I don't care for purples and like it a lot. Rich and dark with character.

Frequently Asked Questions

Any of these fountain pens will work with bottled ink. Typically, as long as the pen can be filled with a converter, has a built-in filling mechanism like a piston, or can be eyedropper-filled, it can accept bottled ink. You can also refill an empty ink cartridge from bottled ink using an ink syringe.
