Another new ink that hasn't seen a lot of information out yet. This is another one of Organics Studio's pigmented inks. Waterproof, bleachproof, 80proof.

 

There was an interesting writing texture to this. It was smooth, but with texture. I'm thinking it's due to the particles in the ink. It was unique to my experience. But then I haven't tried a lot of pigmented inks.

 

This had either a really long drying time on Rhodia paper, or it was one of those inks that tends to smear while still dry, like Rouge Hematite. I did try it out on non-coated paper, and it dried quickly with no smearing. So I'm guessing there's just some bit that the coated paper isn't letting absorb enough. It handles cheaper paper like a champ. If you tend to use cheap paper or notebooks, this one actually works great.

 

 

It has shading, but it's black shading, not washed out gray. It did indeed laugh off the water test like it tickled.

 

 

So, in summation, a good waterproof ink for plain paper. You don't need special paper to make the most of this, and in fact, if there's too much coating and the paper's too slick, it'll tend to smear. But I saw no problems with cheap cheap paper.

 

I'm looking forward to seeing how this handles fade tests, because this might be a really good one for cheap composition books and notebook paper.

This ink interests me, though I'm not sure why. I have "enough" waterproof/water resistant black inks. What worries me about the OS ink is the long dry time and the potential for smearing.

 

Yes, the bulk of my writing is probably done on what might be best described as cheap paper. But I have had a fair amount of grief over the slowest-drying/easiest smeared ink in my collection: Noodler's Blue-Black. At some point, no matter how careful I think I'm being, I will come in contact with ink that is not dry yet.

 

I'd hate to add a second ink to my lot that I'd regret getting.

After I wrote this review, I used it on non-rhodia paper. It dried quickly and didn't have any smearing. Seems it's the coating on the paper preventing some crucial part from absorbing, and it's just sitting on top. I don't think it's dry time so much as smearing particles that aren't bonded to anything.

Just another update. It looks like it's behaving similarly to Sailor Kiwa-Guro Nano Black. Seems to be an attribute of pigment inks. The part in contact with the paper dries quickly enough, but then the top layer of pigment may smear a little bit if not absorbed - particularly on highly coated papers. It explains Rouge Hematite's behavior as well. The smearing is minor and I don't really see it much when writing in my notebook - less than Rouge Hematite in fact. It is something to be aware of.

I have not tried this ink. How does it compare to their Charles Darwin? I found *that* ink to be an amazingly black color and also amazingly fast drying -- but the showthrough/bleedthrough and spreading were very problematic.

They're both a sort of matte black, but this one has a different texture. It flows less wet but more smooth. The dry time seems normalish for this one, as opposed to the crazy fast of Darwin. This one doesn't have the bleedthrough of Darwin, and I've found it to be pretty well behaved on lesser papers.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
