Ink Review #2122: Robert Oster Ghost

Today’s ink is Robert Oster Ghost, an EndlessPens exclusive designed by @micahfinds. Thanks to EndlessPens for sending this ink over for review!

The color:

Ghost is a deep pewter grey with silver shimmer.

*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 plenty of shimmer.

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, no sheen, and silver shimmer.

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

Comparison Swabs:

Ghost is a little more pewter than Robert Oster Sterling Silver. Click here to see the grey inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used a Pelikan M805 Vibrant Blue with a broad nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had an average flow.

Overall, this is a lovely ink! I love the color, and it’s well behaved. I’m glad I have a full bottle because I think I will use it often-grey is one of my favorite colors.
