Anyone else have SITB in a Rohrer & Klingner ink recently?

my approximately one and a half year old bottle of Verdigris came up with a mat of slime in it today when I went to fill my new Opus 88 Koloro

it had only been used to fill modern pens that haven't been exposed to degraded inks and I don't have any other inks showing signs of infection...

 

the good news is that J. Herebin Vert de Gris was an acceptable substitute

Twice in the last 18 months or so. One was a bottle of Alt Goldgrun, the other was Sepia. 

 

I got both bottles replaced, and was left with the impression that I was not alone.

 

(and I prefer the Herbin Vert de Gris anyway!)

Yes, just noticed that in a bottle of sepia a few weeks ago.

Hmm… that must be a problem involving recent distribution and/or purchase.   My R&Ks have never yet seen any mold or slime etc. and they are all old. Even up to 10 years old.

I guess I'll refrain from replacing that bottle for a few more months ...give the issue a while to be fully corrected.

 

as great as that color is, there are other attractive teal and blue-green/black inks out there (and in my collection).

 

thanks for the input @mizgeorge and @MCN
