More inks from Germany

A short overview of the 20 inks made by Octopus Fluids from Germany.

I did this overview just for me (didn't think that I would publish it), so I used one of the notebooks which I am regularly using, Kokuyo Campus. Pen was a glass dip pen, about F-sized. So, it is only temporary, I am going to redo it with much more information. I hope it is still a bit useful.

The Octopus inks are sold at their online store or at Amazon. I have already added the new inks which will be available from middle of May 2019.
