Welcome to a dusky blue black by Organics Studio from the Elements series, made in Maryland, USA. Ink is muted, with lubrication slightly below average. From Vanness website: THE ELEMENTS SERIES – our take on a collection of the essential colors of any writing ink collection. These fountain pen inks makeup a set of ‘simple’ colors, tasked with coloring the basic spectrum of pure colors. These chemistry-themed inks were our first foray into the ink world, and have stuck with us ever since. and about Manganese. Manganese was first isolated in 1774 by Johan Gahn. It is used for its various oxidation states as the colorant for commercial pigments. It is also a crucial component of steelmaking. Let's start with the chroma: Writing samples: If you write with a gusher and flex it'll ghost and bleed through on thin copy paper... Photo: Comparison: Watertest: This was removed by filling a pipette with water and dabbing it with a tissue paper. It has no water resistance... And as usual an art work: Clouds: Organics Studio Manganese / De Atramentis Document Red Silver marker.... Paper is Talens... · Pens used: Pilot Kakuno Ef/Stub, Lamy Safari (EF/F/M/B/Stub 1.1), Kanwrite with an Ahab nib. · What I liked: Lovely dusky colour.... · What I did not like: Lack of water resistance.... · What some might not like: Muted/ dusky colour.... · Shading: Yes. · Ghosting: No. Only if you insist writing with a gusher on copy paper · Bleed through: Same as above. · Flow Rate: Wet · Lubrication: Slightly below average. Much better than Blue Merle · Nib Dry-out: No. · Start-up: No. · Saturation: I would call it dusky blue black. · Shading Potential: Yes · Sheen: Not noticed. · Spread / Feathering / Woolly Line: Not noticed. · Nib Creep / “Crud”: Not noticed. · Staining (pen): No. · Clogging: No. · Cleaning: Easy · Water resistance: Inexistant · Availability: 55 ml bottles Please don't hesitate to share your experience, writing samples or any other comments. The more the merrier

This is a short review of OS Manganese, originally manufactured under the name Manganate. There are a number of reviews of this ink under that name, so I won't belabor the review. A good basic blue-black. Both Anderson Pens and Vanness Pen Shop have this ink available at the time of writing. I'd bought my own bottle and have a backup. No affiliation with any retailer or pen/ink company. The black marks on the page are due to printing problems. Nothing with ink.

I think the current name is Manganese, instead of Manganate. Is an ink with two names twice as interesting? I like this one. Very similar in depth and saturation to my De Atramentis Sherlock Holmes ink, which is just a little bit more vibrant blue hue. This one flows well, really smooth. Has a bit of shading, but it's pretty dark so it's not going to show in a fine nib. Dry time is on the long side of average.
