A 2ml sample of Robert Oster Deep Purple fountain pen ink, in a labeled plastic vial. 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 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.
