Ink Shot Review: Omas Sepia @GouletPens @Omas_Official

Thank you to Goulet Pens for enabling my Ink Shot reviews! This ink has gone into the top drawer, which is a 'frequently used' drawer.

ABOUT

Color: Brown
Bottle: 62 ml
Price: $15.50USD
Where to buy: Goulet Pens

PROS

• Excellent bottle - sits on an angle for easy filling. Also, looks great. 
• Beautiful sepia color.
• Shades well.
• Easy to clean. 

CONS

• No water resistance to speak of.

OVERALL

This is a fantastic, quite well-behaved sepia - in the brown range. I think it shades beautifully, it's packaged nicely, and it makes browns a little less boring. I may be a bit biased because I like Omas in general. Sorry.
