  Octopus Write and Draw Green Panda   Ink Review # 240   Originally posted on FPN:  Apr 19, 2026   --- 🧾  Description   Ink:  Green Panda Brand:  Octopus Write & Draw Country:  Germany Bottle size:  50 ml Pens Used:  Osmiroid Copperplate EEF flex, Lamy (EF/F/M/B/ stub 1.1).   This in is one of the Write & Draw series by Octopus Fluids. Inks are waterproof and lightfast.    This is a bright green ink, too bright for my taste.   Lubrication was slightly below average.  Excellent on copy paper, with minimal bleed-through. Dry times were adequate on Rhodia. Shading is subtle and paper dependant. There’s often some silver sheen with all Write & Draw inks on Iroful paper.    If you need bright waterproof green ink this might fit the bill.    Pigment inks overtime can be difficult to clean. You’ll need a well-sealed pen, otherwise the ink will cling on the convertor ...

  Octopus Write & Draw – Orange Bunny   Ink Review # 214   Originally posted on FPN: Nov 24, 2025   ---   🧾  Description Ink:  Write & Draw – Orange Bunny Brand:  Octopus Country:  Germany Available:  10/50 ml bottles all over the world. 10 ml bottles are not readily available.

Ink has below-average to average lubrication depending on the nib size. There is ghosting and bleed-through on copy paper.  If you let the ink dry in your pen, you’ll regret it. For cleaning, one would need both cleaning solution and a pen jacuzzi. This is a close-up of the fe...

  Octopus Write & Draw Green Tiger Ink Review # 171 Originally posted on FPN: Feb 13, 2025 Ink:  Green Tiger Brand:  Octopus Write & Draw Country:  Germany Availability:  50 ml bottles. Pens Used:  Pilot Kakuno EF, Lamy Safari (EF / F / M / B / Stub 1.1), Kanwrite Desire with Ahab nib. 🧾  Description I really like Octopus inks, especially their Write & Draw series. These are my favourite waterproof and lightfast inks. They are very well behaved, well priced, dependable, and a pleasure to use. This is a lovely calm green pigment ink with medium shading from the Write & Draw series, purrfect for all those feline lovers. 🐯 It is excellent on copy paper. Cleaning was easy. However, as with most pigment inks, it can stick to hidden parts of the pen, such as the threads of the section. I do not recommend it for pens that cannot be dismantled or for overly expensive pens. However, if you have had a long experience with pigment inks, you shou...
