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

This is probably the most beautiful ink I've ever seen. Genuinely, it's gorgeous. I'm really thinking of getting a full bottle because it's just so incredibly pretty and I have never seen an ink quite like it before. In the bottle it looks dark blue, and when wet it's much the same, but when it dries. Oh, when it dries! It shifts from fuschia to blue, and it's very shiny. If you're wanting an impressive ink for eccentric writings or drawings, this is the ink for you. Images don't do it justice, because it actively shifts in the light. Super cool!

I so wanted to love this ink... but the color was very turquoise for me. There wasn't even a hint of red sheen on any of the papers I tried it with. Funny enough, I could see the sheen on the nib, but it never paid off on the page. I had such high hopes for it. Such a shame. The ink itself was fairly fast drying and had a nice flow, so it gets points for that.

I agree with others that this is a really gorgeous ink, more turquoise in color than the picture suggests. I bought a small sample, and it’s possible it evaporated a little in my storage box, but it dries out nearly every time I use it with my medium nib. I’m using it daily, so it shouldn’t be such an issue. A little water fixes the problem, but it is irritating. I’m wondering if a stub nib would be a better choice.

Absolutely stunning color. Very small sample

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.

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

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.

This ink I am not sure how I feel about it. It went down think and looks more black than blue, with a sheen of purple. The black also looks very wet/glossy. I would recommend getting a sample of it first to try out.

I currently have my TWSBI ECO EF inked with the RWE Twilight Blue - it's a beautiful dark purple. Would probably look even better in a wider nib, but the EF was the one pen I had clean and ready to fill. I was thinking about adding some distilled water to the remainder of the ink, to bring out more of the blue color. I haven't yet cleaned out the pen, so I can't comment on the effort needed to clean the ink.

Overall, this looks pretty good on the page (clairefontaine a5) but you really should be using broad or stub nibs to really get the best effects.

I use stub nibs with this ink to both show off the color shift and prevent particle clogs.

Using a fountain pen, this ink is actually a very dark turquoise blue, not that lovely marooon purple shown in the swatch image. If you paint a large area with the ink, there is sometimes a shimmery purple, but on the normal pen mark that's not even visible, and at no point whatsoever do I ever get that lovely maroon color. Thankfully I just got a sample, so it's no big deal. (It's great that samples are an option! :-)

This ink didn't live up to my expectations. I adore how it looks on the site, but it my experience it turned out more turquoise than a mix of burgundy, red, and blue. Doesn't vary much in color, except when you go over it multiple times. Paper shown is tomoe river. I'll use what I have left of it, but probably won't order it again.

It's a great ink, I just wish some of the blue shone through more.. The sheen on this is crazy impressive though. I think I'll look at other sheeting inks similar to this to have the blue come through just a bit more, but I had a lot of fun with the sample.

I keep wanting to be annoyed by it, but it reminds me of a stupid puppy gnawing on my furniture. It annoys me trying to get the sheen with my pens and notebooks, but with the right pen and paper it pops in the right light and makes me sit down to relax. It is really smooth ink at least and I like the base color without the sheen, I just like the bonus that made me want it in the first place..

I love this ink. I got it as a random sample, and saw that it was a beautiful blue....until I changed my position and discovered it was purple! It has become a new favorite to write with. It does take a minute to dry which can be difficult as a left handed person, but I'm used to it. Such a fun ink color, absolutely love it.

The color we received is a dark navy blue! I would describe it in no way as being turquoise or having any kind of sheen. It is a nice texture and pleasant to write with. But it looks nothing at all like the description. :-(

This ink is gorgeous. I love both the color and the red sheen, which shows up pretty well on both Clairefontaine and Rhodia. It might shade some, but it's more like the sheen overtakes the shading. That is to say, where the ink would be darker from shading, it's sheening the most. My only real concern about this ink is about dry times: it definitely dries slowly on the page but rather quickly on the nib. If I stop writing for maybe a minute and don't cap the pen, it's dried. This is confusing.

I got a sample of this ink, and it just cemented my love of sheening inks! It's absolutely gorgeous on paper, and I love the way it writes.

Beautiful ink with a crazy amount of sheen. When it's flowing it writes perfectly. The problem is you just can't stop. Ever. It's the only way it won't dry almost instantaneously on the nib. It even dries inside a capped Preppy. Funny thing is it never dries on the paper. Ever. Smears for days. So as far as usability for me in a normal fountain pen it's a miss. It does write fine with a dip pen and would also probably be fine in a safety pen. Just don't plan on it being durable when 'dryish'.

The basic color of this ink is dark and a bit brooding, but the sheen is incredible. you will need to make sure you have a smooth, less absorbent paper to get the full potential. if you are using cheap copy paper you can see the sheen by putting down a couple layers of ink.
