Hey all,

I just thought I would let you know that I tried the Omas Grey ink in my
fine nib Esterbrook J FP and really like the combo. Works well on any paper
I have tried today as well as my Allan's journal.

What, if any, combination would you say it's better than? I only use two inks (Diamine and LAMY) regardless of pen but if say the Omas ink increases the performance of the nibs as they are, that's worth looking into.

I have had horrible results with various Herbin inks in my esterbrook. I think they may have been too watery and thin and often ink would leak a little into the cap.
The omas ink so far seems to perform wonderfully . Of course, this is a big YMMV concept.
