Robert Oster Maroon 1789 Signature Ink is a rich, dark maroon-red fountain pen ink with a subtle purple character. The deep color gives handwriting a warm, classic appearance, while the underlying purple tones help distinguish it from more straightforward burgundy and red inks. Made in Australia, Maroon 1789 is part of the Robert Oster Signature range.
The ink offers medium shading, allowing lighter and darker areas to develop naturally across the page. In wetter writing or heavier applications, a low black sheen can appear along the edges of concentrated strokes, adding another layer of depth without overpowering the rich maroon base. It contains no shimmer and is not water resistant.
Maroon 1789 comes in a 50ml bottle and is made in Australia. Its dark red color, moderate shading, and restrained sheen make it a versatile choice for journaling, correspondence, creative writing, note-taking, and ink swatching. It offers enough variation to make writing visually interesting while retaining the sophisticated character of a deep maroon ink.
