too thick an ink for busy people

this ink is excessively thick and needs very high maintenance. For busy people or people who cannot regularly maintain their pen or have low writing requirements this is best avoided. Having said that this the probably one of the rare few sheeing inks that shows sheen even when used or sub ordinary quality of daily paper

Absolutely stunning color. Very small sample

Beautiful Ink

I loved the way it looks on the page. I find it works best with a medium nib rather than the fine nibs in terms of color performance.

Fascinating color

It's named Twilight Blue. It's a deep mulberry with shades of dark blue, a very interesting ink!

Classy blue

I got this as a random sample and really like it. In actual writing, the line doesn't look like the big color patch shown on the website. It's more like Diamine Oxford Blue, but I like it better. I will be trying some of the other Organics Studio inks.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I fill my fountain pen from an ink sample vial? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

The technique depends on the fountain pen's filling mechanism.

Check out our blog post on How to Fill a Fountain Pen from an Ink Sample Vial, or watch the video here:

How much writing can I really do with 2ml? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

We find that usually you can get 2 good fills for a typical converter with our ink samples, or one good fill with a large capacity piston-filling pen.

How much writing you can do depends on you more than anything else. It mostly depends on how big or small you write, and the nib size you’re using. We recommend experimenting with different nib sizes to find what works best for you. 

What does it mean if an ink has shading or sheen? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Shading is a common (and often desired) result of a fountain pen ink pooling in certain parts of a letter when writing, so that the color and saturation of the ink appears different within a single letter or word. This characteristic cannot be achieved with ballpoint or rollerball pens and is a very appealing aspect of fountain pen use for those particularly drawn to all the pretty ink colors.

Sheen is a characteristic of a fountain pen ink where, when ink pools, another color can be seen on top of the ink. It is more pronounced when looked at in different light angles using certain paper types. There is no way to guarantee an ink will sheen, but using a larger nib on a pen may help obtain better sheening results in your writing.
