    Organics Studio Arsenic Gray

    Here's another newer ink that hasn't got a lot of color samples online yet. It's a nice gray color on the cool end of gray. Good wet flow. Some water resistance. No misbehaving. Dries pretty quick. I've been trying to decide whether to get Albert Einstein ink from Montblanc in a full bottle. I got a sample through some magical series of events, and tried it. I was wanting to see if I would like this one better. Honestly, I like them both. Einstein is a more neutral gray than this one. Sadly, it looks like I'm going to have to get both.
  2. A nice coffee-colored ink, without the coffee aftertaste Between this and Herbin Lie de The, I've got a nice little cafe thing going in my ink collection. Once again, another great ink in the Pendleton's series. Nice shading. Good smooth flow. Can see the lines after the wet finger swipe. So that's nice. It leans toward the red side of brown. A good subtle color that I could see in serious use.

    Organics Studio Pendleton's Blakwa

    Here's BlaKWa. Really nice color. It's a teal sort of ink similar in color to Iroshizuku Ku Jaku or Diamine Eau De Nil. I think it's actually reaaallly close to Eau De Nil if memory serves. Eau de Nil was just a little darker than Ku Jaku, just a tiny bit less vibrant, which matches what I'm seeing here. Sadly, I ran out of my sample of Eau de Nil, so can't provide an explicit side-by-side right now. I have a bottle of Ku Jaku so I can compare those at least. Very good behavior. Could go on the list for an alternative to Ku Jaku for a lot of people who don't want to spend the $30 on Iroshizuku. Not sure what's up with the name.
  4. Another great red from Organics Studio. It's a tough choice for me between this and Poe. They've both got depth. The Poe is a little brighter. This one is more subtle, and maybe even further afield from typical markup red ink. Not really water resistant. Flow is nice and smooth. The Pendleton's inks in particular seem to be smooth and have nice shading. Very nice color and appropriate name
  5. This is a very light blue. It's a pretty color, but when you're writing with it, it seems like it's coming out so pale. It does tend to dry a little darker. It flows really well. And it has water resistance. Win. It's hard to tell how light this ink seems when viewing the swatches online. I think this scan gives a good idea of how it is when it dries. If you use a broader nib or a really wet pen, this would probably be darker, judging from my smudges So perhaps I should try it in my stub nib and see how I feel. But since I tend to use finer points, this is probably just a little more pale than I would usually use.

    Organics Studio Neon

    Hold onto your retinas. This is a bright one. The good thing is it's saturated enough to not seem just light or be hard to read. Some oranges are bright colors, but just light and watery. This is the ink to use for writing warning notes. Or to write notes to your kids you don't want them to ignore.
  7. Now this is an Edgar Allan Poe ink! (Take notes De Atramentis!) In my opinion, this one's probably the best of the writer's series. This is a great red ink. It's not waterproof. But again, could probably handle a few splashes. And really nice flow. It's got great shading, from bright true red to a deep red. It's a rich color with depth. It doesn't look like just a standard everyday red. This isn't a color that only works for marking up corrections on paper. You could probably use this for normal writing, especially if you're into writing horror stories. Or ransom notes.

    Organics Studio Jane Austen Violet

    Here's another purple ink from Organics Studio. This one seems a little bit more on the red side of violet when it's going down, but it quickly changes to a more medium purple. It's still a bit more red than most purple/violet inks I have. It's not quite as pinkish seeming in real life (once it's dried) as the scan shows. Has the same good flow as the rest of Organics Studio's main line. Not really water resistant, but can handle small splashes. Not my color. But if you like bright flowery colors, this could be a good one for you.
  9. Here's one of the pigment inks that Organics Studio recently released. This one is apparently entirely pigmented with Chlorophyll. Which is pretty neat actually. It's definitely waterproof, as the scan should show. Which is good, because the color's so light. It dries a little darker than it seems going down. Actually, there's a bit more shading while writing, and the really light parts darken, and the darker parts lighten. It sort of equalizes. It doesn't look runny or thin after it dries, which again is good. Because some really light greens I've tried look like watered down highlighter. Try as I might, I just can't see myself using this color. Too light and the hue isn't really my favorite (though pea green is very appropriate). That's very much a personal taste though.

    Organics Studio Uranium Green

    This is a lot brighter green ink than the L Frank Baum I just reviewed. Or most other inks for that matter. There's not a lot of inks that fill that Sci-Fi green like this one does. You know the color. The alien ooze, incredible hulk, radiation monster color. This is it. To be honest, for day to day use, this one is probably a little...outside your normal color range. It is not too light to be seen like some light colored greens, and doesn't suffer from visibility issues. (definitely not) It held up better to water than the Baum, and the lines were still legible. Flow was wet, as seems to be the case for most Organics Studios inks. Basically this is your all purpose nuclear bomb, godzilla, radioactive spider bite, big green monster, sci fi serial color of ink.
  11. Here's another really nice Organics Studio ink that I liked. L Frank Baum Emerald. It's a good green. The flow of the ink is really nice and feels like a more expensive ink. I tend to like green as a color, especially middle green inks. But I thought this a good example of the color. It's not waterproof, not even really resistant. As noted, it held up about as well to water as the wicked witch. I wouldn't use this for taking notes in the rain, or near any pigtailed girls with little dogs and random buckets of water. Basically good color, good flow, keep away from water, and don't feed after midnight. Edit: fixing pictures
  12. 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.
  13. And yet another review while I'm going. Forgive me posting all these at once, but I've been sitting on a stack of these for a couple weeks and finally had the time to scan them in this weekend. This is another Organics Studio ink. And another one that has almost no information up yet. No reviews and no sample pictures on the sites that are selling them. Also another one I'd been excited about, since this one is a pigment based ink. Should make it more permanent. Water resistant and fade resistant. It's a nice vibrant color with nice shading. It flows wetter than I thought, and dries quick enough. As you can see the water resistance is very high. I'd call it waterproof. As for fade resistance, we'll have to see what happens during the Fade Olympics, since I know Tyler sent a bunch of samples of ink to be tested. But my guess is this one'll do well. Also to note, I was impressed how easily this one cleaned up. I know you need to take extra care with pigment based inks to get them all out, but I have some conventional inks that are harder to clean than this one. Overall very nice and nothing but good things to say on this one. Edit: note on cleaning

    Organics Studio Charles Darwin Black

    So this ink has picked up a little bit of notice for being insanely fast-drying. I mean insanely. You can't smear this ink. Don't even try. You'll just disappoint yourself. It's also very nicely water resistant. It has a matte texture to it. No glossiness. Just pitch dark color. That said, there are tradeoffs for this ink. It soaks into the paper so quickly (even rhodia) that there will be bleed through. I'm not the sort of person to be bothered by showthrough. But it bleeds. I used a fine-tipped pen for this review. The pen runs a little wide (thanks Lamy) and it's got a wet-ish flow. So bear that in mind. I think with a Japanese fine nib or an extra fine nib or perhaps a drier writer, you may not have as much tendency to bleed through. That said, I wouldn't count on this one being a both-sides-of-the-page writer. For the amount of bleeding, there was surprisingly minor feathering. There was still some. Mostly there was a good deal of spread. So again, maybe not a fine-line-writer. I don't think this is a broad nib, stub nib, flex nib kind of ink. If you like using fine nib pens, and you want something for notes, or super-fast-dry, this is a good ink for you.

    Organics Studio Potassium Lavender

    This one really goes hand-in-hand with the review I had posted of OS Mark Twain. They are color-cousins. Maybe more like siblings. This color looks to my eyes to be a very similar hue as Mark Twain, just lighter and with less shading. Overall Impressions: It's a light dusty purple color. Appropriately titled a lavender. It has a good flow in the pen. There's some decent shading. Not much water resistance. Since Mark Twain came out, though, I can't see someone needing both inks. I like Mark Twain better, but that'd be personal preference. My suggestion, figure out which of these you like better, and pick one of them. One nice thing, is most of the normal run Organics Studio inks, this one included, clean up really nice and easy.
  16. There's been a bit of a dearth of Organics Studio reviews on this site yet. Especially for the newer colors that I was particularly interested in. Given that, I ordered a bunch of ink samples last month. Well, this month Tyler's been holding a contest for reviews. So, you know, extra incentive to get these up without lollygagging too much. This was one of the inks I was most excited to try out first. Especially since even those sites that sell it haven't all gotten sample images up. Overall impressions: It's a dark blue, but it's got more than traces of purple. Sort of a purple-black range I suppose. It does tend to get just a little more blue when it dries, sort of like PR Tanzanite. Great shading. Love the color. Good smooth flow. It bleeds a good deal in water but it's got enough water resistence to see where your pen has been. *Forgive the clumsy splatters from my other ink testing I'm getting a bottle!
  17. http://yoonhalee.com/images-inks/os-poe.png NOTE: I have since discovered that this ink tends to make my red Parker Vac a hard starter if allowed to sit more than a day--the issue seems to be that the Vac has a nib creepy nib and the ink dries up into red-brown cruft and makes it hard to write. Cleaning the nib takes care of the problem (until next time). This is a writing sample with the same ink I did for my Nakaya Naka-ai with a cursive italic, so you can see how the ink looks in an italic nib. I had no starting/flow problems in the Nakaya, which does not really display nib creep. http://yoonhalee.com/images-inks/nakaya-os-poe.png Anyway, this is now one of my favorite reds. Yay!
  18. http://yoonhalee.com/images-inks/os-lab11.png I love the color of this ink and I'm keeping it around--it's fine on better paper, but the feathering is crazy-awful on poor paper. And as you can see, no water resistance whatsoever, but I wasn't expecting any. (I check just in case, though.)
  19. Hello everyone Has anyone bought the new Jules Verne ink from Organics studio? I would like to see some handwritten samples (how it shades, and similar inks…). I'm also interested in the other new inks by Organics. Thanks!
  20. A few weeks ago I was reading a review here on an Organics Studio ink and out of curiosity went to their site. I found their main lineup of inks pretty standard color-wise and I had those color ranges already covered but then I found this page. These are a series of ink colors Tyler is testing on whoever wants to purchase and explore them. I guess colors that sell well or something get made into the main line. I ended up picking #5, #18 and #20. This is a review for #20. http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n200/Inguz72/_MG_2141pro-2.jpg This is a grey blue that behaves quite wonderfully, the tone is muted and it makes a wonderful choice if you're looking for something in the middle of black and blue. The closest ink I have to this one is R+K Verdigris, which exhibits a lot more green. Like verdigris this is a juicy ink with good flow, but Verdigris does have more dramatic shading. Water test consisted of water droplets that were wiped after 10 seconds or so. Your writing will survive a spill but I don't know if they'll do for submersion. On the Rhodia Reverse Book the ink takes about 25 seconds to dry, about standard for a lot of my inks on this particular paper. I recommend this ink heartily and if this doesn't make it into production I would love to know of other shades like this for future reference. Photos were taken outside in the shade and calibrated to the actual page in front of me. You can also view the sample of the color on their site for comparison if you want a second opinion. If there's interest I'd be happy to review the other two inks. (You can view the image larger by clicking on it.)
