Turquoise - 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.

Turquoise is well behaved ink. Personally I'm not into turquoises so I won't elaborate on this one.

Hi PS104 - I've tied on two computers and two smartphones. I see all the pictures but I had to wait a while. I'll be back to smaller pics in next reviews.

I'm not seeing in either of the two OMAS review but question marks in blue boxes.

Hmmm, not yet had that Problem.... Maybe it's because of the stupid bottles and nun's veils....

I'm seeing all the images. But ever since getting to try the MB Honore de Balzac I've decided that turquoise can be a color I love, when I'm looking for a nice bright blue. This will go on my list of inks to add to the collection.

Now I get the picture... Thanks....

I like this color quite a bit. I don't currently have any Omas inks, so will consider buying this one. Thanks for the review, Vis. Thorough, as usual.
