Special thanks to @chromantic for this ink!

 

So far, I have only tried it on Tomoe River Paper that I purchased in 2015, and I've only used it in the Montblanc 149 with the Fritz Schimpf Italic Edge.

 

As a warning, the Italic Edge is a HUGE nib probably close to a 4B, and it is laying down a ton of ink. The Sepia was much wetter than I had anticipated, but I had tried the red and was thrilled with it's performance.

 

More scans and images will be uploaded as I try different pages.  These first pages were scanned with the Fujitsu ScanSnap ix 1500.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Now we do have some show through, and perhaps ghosting where I had washed the ink.  Here is the backside of the sheet above.

However, the ink did show through and perhaps ghost on the TR paper even when I didn't wash it with water.

Not what I would have called "sepia" color (it's a little too red-leaning for that...).  Also, I have a question -- how much have the writing samples sat between being done and being scanned, because I'd be curious as to how much oxidation had taken place.  

But thanks for the review/writing samples.

Yes, I'm sure it is IG. I wasn't initially sure it was sepia.

Thank you for your review :thumbup:

That's one rich colour which reminds me of fall.

But I'm afraid it's one those wannabe IG's which is faintly waterproof. I'll stick to my Essri ;)

Oh lots of the sepias were red leaning including those made from the cuttlefish.  But here is a comparison from @Intensity.

This ink is no ESSRI.  It is beautiful, and I love it for doodling trees, but it's not really waterproof.

Looks fab with that broad wet nib.  Looked at Sandy1's, thankfully still available review, for a finer line version.  Guess I'll be breaking  my determination not to purchase any more ink.

Add lightness and simplicate.

Well of course not!  It's an ink and Essri is a snek! ;)
