This blog, well the fountain pen part, came about partly through my interviewing Luca Baglione of Scrittura Bolognese over the launch of the Feel in October 2018, which had just occurred with the help of Write Here of Shrewsbury. It was being recorded by Penultimate Dave and between them I finally had my armed twisted enough to write my first piece. What does this have to do with Grigio SCRIBO? Well off the back of the interview I ordered one of the first Feel pens to be sold directly from ScriBo. This first batch, and just the ones sold through the maker, came with a 20ml bottle of a unnamed ScriBo ink which matched the corporate colours and the grey-blue pen I had just bought. This is this ink was a beautiful colour but also rather wet, however it was also running out. Over two years passed before ScriBo launched their ink range and amongst them was Grigio SCRIBO. The question must be, is it the same ink?

When you think of Italy you think of the food, the art and architecture, the lakes, the coast, and the islands. Situated just off Naples, Capri is in a sun kissed part of the world with beautiful turquoise blue waters, and here from Italy we have an ink that captures the heart for the tourist and local alike.

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. Having a treasured bottle of green, which is gradually being used up, I was interested to see if Verde Bosco was the same as it is only one of two greens presently in the range, with the other being the far lighter Prato.

There is something very right about an ink from a Mediterranean country being a vibrant orange. It is the colour of sun, summer, warmth, and happiness. Named after the orange growing region of Sicily, this pigment based ink does feel very appropriately named.

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.

An Inky Question

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).
