Octopus Fluids

Octopus Fluids is a German ink maker who is, in my opinion, severely underrated in the U.S. Their fountain pen inks are designed and produced in Dresden, and their fountain pen inks have beautiful flow, saturation, and long-term performance.

The range spans several distinctive lines:

1. The Write & Draw series, a versatile collection of waterproof pigmented inks that can be used both for fountain pen writing and illustration,

2. The richly historical Barock line, inspired by old-world tones and calligraphic tradition, and

3. Their extensive collection of regular dye-based inks, which offer vibrant everyday writing colors with excellent shading and smooth performance -- at a fantastic price. This includes their amazing Sheen line, which has unusual and unique color/sheen combinations that really jump off the page.

Whether you’re journaling, sketching, or looking for that perfect daily carry ink, Octopus Fluids provides a thoughtful, well-crafted option for every fountain pen user.
