Organics Studio Might Be (Hypothetically) Coming Back

So I stumbled upon this reddit post about an hour ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/fountainpens/comments/4ge5ax/hey_guyshow_have_you_lovely_people_been/

 

Long story short, it was about a person who just hypothetically finished their masters degree, and was curious what people were looking out for in inks. After returning to reddit and re-reading the post, it hit me that the username is probably the same person who made the Organics Studio inks, and they might seriously be looking to get back into making ink. I cannot confirm nor deny that 100%, but definitely worth going over and commenting what you're looking for as far as ink goes, on the off chance it's legit!

I could use a Blue Merle Junior which doesn't turn gray.

Hmmmm....I have such a dislike of the OS guy, it would prevent me from participating. Even if he could make the color changing ink from the Harry Potter books.

I will put my money that he is going to improve his Iron Gall formulation... ;)

I don't have a user account in reddit... Can someone ask for this... "A Blue Merle that doesn't turn to grey"...

 

I would love to read the reply.

I have to say I was a strong supporter of OS inks when they were available. Some of them were really great. The Lewis Carroll Queen's Rose is an amazing rose color, not pink, not red. Blue Merle was originally a very unique and wonderful color, but it's properties in the bottle are not shelf-stable. I have three different bottles of Blue Merle and none of them are the same, and they are not what they were when originally purchased. And one of them is basically just gray, and I hate gray inks.

 

My bottle of Walt Whitman, never was the deep dark green advertised on the box. I thought, oh, it's trying to be El Lawrence, because it was this dirty green-brown. I filled a pen with it a month or so ago, and wondered "where's the green?" It wasn't even an interesting brown.

 

I really wanted to like OS inks, and their handling was fine, often with good shading, but I don't believe the colors are shelf-stable. All my inks are stored in their boxes, and those boxes stored in a closed bigger box. So no light has effected these inks. The formulations of these inks needs improvement, imo.

 

Mention has been made of IG inks. I personally have no interest in IG inks. I bought one of KWZ IG inks, and it's certainly fine, but it just doesn't move it or interest me. Permanence isn't a quality I'm looking for, and if I want that I can use Sailor's Kiwa-Guro nano-pigmented ink. Or something else on the market, I don't need an IG ink.

 

I have plenty of inks to keep me happy from Noodler's, KWZI, Sailor, MB, even though there certainly are very good inks from other makers.

 

I wish the maker of OS inks success in whatever field of endeavor he has worked so hard in college to achieve.

I wouldn't say no to another bottle of Aristotle.

I liked some of the inks (Blue Merle, Mark Twain, Emily Dickinson -- even though it was awfully bright to represent someone who was basically a recluse -- and and the exclusive ink Purplillusion; Potassium was okay in a broad nib). Did not like some of the others at ALL (unlike wasteland I can very easily say no to Aristotle -- and I generally like IG inks).

And some, I never got to try: the Lewis Carroll sounds interesting, and some of the blues looked kinda cool.

I have a large bottle of Mark Twain, which is your standard blue/black with a slight greenish cast. Nothing particularly special about it. I did put a little phenol in it because of reports of fungus in some OS inks.

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

I never cared for the few OS inks I tried, but if he could crack the formula for Parker Penman Sapphire he'd probably sell more than all his other inks combined.

I did this too late to save my bottle....It stank, too.

White_Lotus, thank you for turning me on to Queen's Rose. I do like the color a lot.

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

      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
