Colours: Good range
I have heard very positive comments on this ink but have never had the opportunity to write with the ink.
Abraxas Orion Blau No. 53. is listed as an "artist line writing
ink". It is made in Switzerland.
Anthracite - I have not had the chance to use this colour, and based on the samples that I have seen, it may be a little too pastel for my liking. This is an light grey that reports indicate take on different hues of colour. From the scans I have seen, it is a light grey with tones of green.
Orion Blue is described as an opaque medium blue with a slight green tint. Free-flowing and very pleasant to use. Available in the US at $8.50 a 30 ml bottle (Nov 99). The ink is sold as being "Usable for fountain pens. Ingredients: Water, plant extracts, nature-identical colours, natural glues and natural essential oils. Dilutable with distilled water and can be mixed freely to create your own colour shade." (Thanks: P. Johnson)
