Robert Oster MPSS fountain pen ink
Dreams of the underwater forests
We’re thrilled to announce the 2025 Melbourne Pen & Stationery Show ink of the year: Kelp Forest.
Born of tides and waves
A stunning chromoshading ink created by the one and only Robert Oster, this unique ink shifts between a cool green and a warm brown, reflecting the depth and beauty of one of our vital Victorian ecosystems that shelters marine life, absorbs carbon, and helps sustain our environment.
As part of his incredible generosity, Robert Oster is once again gifting 100 free bottles of this commemorative show ink to the first 100 people through the doors. But if you miss the chance to score one of these treasures, not to worry, Robert Oster’s MPSS 2025 Sea Kelp ink will be available for purchase on the day from one of our amazing partners, Pulp Addiction or Bookbinders.
We are so incredibly grateful to Robert Oster for his ongoing support of the Melbourne Pen & Stationery Show. Year after year, without fail, he has created and donated a bespoke show ink, a tradition that adds something truly special for our community pen and ink lovers.
