When ScriBo launched their ink range there were very few colours in the set that could be considered traditional, and out of the ‘core’ four of black, blue, green and red, there was only this ink, Nero Nero.

ScriBo have managed to do what so few other ink makers have managed. To use the name or type of a wine and match it to an appropriate colour. Most the usual offerings would be poured straight down the sink without even tasting if provided in traditional 70cl bottles, but here we have an ink that makes you think about pizza and pasta. Perhaps I just think too much with my stomach.

I have been looking forwards to trying this ink. Since Scrittura Bolognese (ScriBo) started to produce their own line of dye based inks there has been the question over whether any were from the old OMAS catalogue.

Net result is I’ve been struggling for free time.

When ScriBo was launched there was the question over ink. Would there be any, after all OMAS had a decent range. The answer appeared to arrive with the launch if their first regular pen, the Feel. The first ones bought directly from ScriBo came with a 20ml bottle of a blue-grey ink. One of the two colour options for the new pen, as well as being used for corporate media. It would seem inks would be just round the corner. Time passed.

In a follow on to my previous post on how to do ink reviews I think I have now come to a decision on how to do them. It will be interesting to see in a few years time how they have changed.

One thing you may have noticed from my posts and reviews is a near lack of inks. I do not collect them, yet like many in our hobby I have amassed quite a collection. In addition I do enjoy swabbing and will soon need my fourth Col-o-ring (available in the UK through Cult Pens).
