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.

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.

I unfortunately can't see the review from behind the work firewall, but the idea of testing colors in the market is very intriguing. Looking forward to getting home and checking out the pictures - thanks for reviewing!

Thank you for this stunning review!

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

      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..

      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
