Sepia - Omas

[visvamitra]

Not so long aco well known ink enabler and famous nin(k)ja - Cyber6's sent me some new ink samples. Among them three Omases.

Thank you C.

Omas inks are sold inlarge octagon-shaped bottle, that has been in use since it was first introduced in the 1930s. I like this design.

At the moment Omas inks are available in eight standard colors:

1. Black
   
2. Blue
   
3. Gray (New)
   
4. Green
   
5. Red
   
6. Sepia
   
7. Turquoise
   
8. Violet
   

On different occasions they produced also limited edition inks, like:

1. Amerigo Vespucci Red
   
2. Green Italia
   
3. Hong Kong Red
   
4. Permanent Black
   
5. Roma 2000 Blue
   
6. Triratna Saffron
   

If I'll be able to put my hands on the samples, I'll review them all.

Omas Sepia is nice, moderately saturated brown with good writing properties. It won't become my brown no 1 but I find this color pleasing.

It's a nice brown. But am I the only one who is seeing some red in it?

[visvamitra]

No Dhruv, you're not the only one

[Dhruv_Sood]

Thank you vis.

 

I took your advice and ordered both GvFC hazelnut brown and Herbin Lie De Thè.

[Martini1R]

I like this ink. Got a bottle myself. The color range sits nicely between the other two browns I have: Iro Horsetail and MB Toffee Brown.

Thanks for the review Vis. I would love to see a review of Omas Violet

[Ghost Plane]

I can't see the review, only notices that the Image Shack image has expired. ?????

[visvamitra]

It will come. However at the moment I have some serious issues with my imageshack hosting. My premium account is gone, I can't log in, I can't access the photos. it doesn't recognise my mail. It seems I'm not the only one.

 

I've written to them and I hope they will fix it. I wouldn't be able to repaste links to all my reviews.

 

Today I'll try to post another review using google photos. We'll see if it'll work.

[Ghost Plane]

Ouch! Keep on them. Your reviews are valuable. Good luck!

[haruka337]

Oh darn. Hope the issue resolves shortly!

OMAS sepia is the other "brown" ink that I settled on. It is either Iroshi Tsukushi or if I want more red, this OMAS sepia.

Thank you for your usual excellent review, which I seem to see very well on my system.

[visvamitra]

Hmm - I still don't see any photos.

[Cyber6]

Hmm - I still don't see any photos.

 

I can see the pictures no problem. As of 9am - Toronto time ..

C (or anyone else reading this thread) - could you check any other 2-3 of my reviews and let me know whether you see pics? I still can't login to my imageshack account and I don't see any pictures.

[Tas]

Nope, nothing. Perhaps Cyber6 can see them as they are on a different server or something. Fingers crossed.

[haruka337]

I see no images as well. Bummer.

OMAS Sepia - I can see - NO problems

 

OMAS Turquoise - I can ONLY see the first picture (stock picture of bottle) - the other pictures (yours) are broken links

 

MB - Leo Tolstoy - All Broken links

 

KWZI - Azure 2 - All Broken links

 

 

-- So What is different with this one, I can see this one no problems...

Perhaps the images are in your browser's cache ?
