Octopus Write & Draw Duck Red — Ink Review #166
Octopus Write & Draw Duck Red Ink Review # 166 Originally posted on FPN: Jan 8, 2025 Ink: Duck Red Brand: Octopus Fluids Write & Draw Country: Germany Availability: 50 ml bottles. Pens Used: Pilot Kakuno EF, Lamy Safari (EF / F / M / B / Stub 1.1), Osmiroid Copperplate nib. Description A very nice, wet, well-lubricated Octopus ink with shading from dark red to bright red and very long dry times on Japanese paper. It made my two scratchiest nibs sing: the Pilot Kakuno EF and the Osmiroid with its needlepoint copperplate nib. Ink is well-behaved on copy paper, unless you opt for a wet flex pen. Like most pigment inks, it's not a good idea to forget it in a drafty pen. The ink can evaporate and will make cleaning slightly difficult. Note that all my sample bottles of Octopus inks have been more or less stained over time by the dyes.
