Vintage Omas Sepia Ink in a Vintage Omas Paragon Pen

[USG]

So I cleaned out the Paragon as well as I could. Soaked it for a number of says in Rapido-Eze.  It looked pretty clean to me.

 

 

I loaded some Vintage Omas Sepia in it.  The color was a little yellower than Pelikan 4001 brown.  After a few days the color darkened to a  brown.  Well we all know what that means.  There was residual blue still in there some where.  I wrote it out and refilled it again.  It kept the color for a day or so and then started to darken.  I got distracted for a while with some other pens and inks but I came back to it today.

 

By eye, the Sepia has become the dark color of Penman Mocha and it has developed a bright green sheen which is hard to capture with my cellphone camera.

Rapido-EzeThat's an ink brand I've never tried.

I have two Sepias, the R&K I've not tried....don't know why, and the old discontinued MB Sepia an ink I really like.

 

From my reading there are many shades and hues of sepia.

 

For such good paper that feathering is real odd....I suspect if contaminated then with Rapido-Eze.
