Stained Fingers on Saturday - A Special Review of Organics Studios Manganate V Ink

While this post comes outside of the normal posting schedule, there is a good reason! Those of you, who follow Organics Studio, may already know that Tyler, the owner, is running a contest toward winning the full Organics Studio ink lineup (and a free pen). The deadline is October 1, so, if you have samples or bottles of Organics Studio ink waiting to be reviewed, I highly recommend doing so! Full details on how to enter are located here on the Fountain Pen Network.

Edit 10/2/13: Re-scanned and added more comparisons.

This scan was done on an HP Deskjet F4280 at 600dpi.
Note: Because these scans are done with a light emitting printer, actual colors will, more likely than not, be slightly darker than they may appear, here. The colors shown, here, are probably a bit more reminiscent of what the ink would be like under a bright light or if it were held up and viewed with a light behind it.
