Octopus Write & Draw Orange Skunk — Ink Review #215
Octopus Write & Draw Orange Skunk Ink Review # 215 Originally posted on FPN: Nov 29, 2025 --- 🧾 Description Ink: Write & Draw Orange Skunk Brand: Octopus Country: Germany Available: 10- or 50-ml bottles worldwide. Pens Used: Pilot Osmiroid Copperplate (UEF/Flex nib), Lamy (EF/F/M/B/ Stub 1.1). Octopus Write & Draw Skunk is part of three orange pigment inks made by Octopus. The other two are Monkey & Bunny. If it’s an orange colour, it’s an unusual colour, more like a muted pink. It’s pale, but legible, best suited for M and above nibs. Ink has below average lubrication with all nibs. Flow is average. Ink has moderate bleed-through and low show-through on copy paper. There’s shading but mostly with M, B, and flex nibs. Cleaning was ok. But I used the pen jacuzzi, for peace of mind. Color is difficult capture, but it’s quite close to Herbin Rouil...
