Ever since I first inked Organics Studio Nitrogen, I have been intrigued by their inks. So far though, I have only used their super sheeners. When I say super sheener, I mean so sheeny that the base color is sheen and the actual color is more of an afterthought. CU Copper Turquoise was recommended by a regular in the Pen Addict Slack, so I figured I’d give it a shot.
The packaging is very bare, just a cardboard box with a sticker on it, the bottle a plastic type with a minimalist look. It is a generous 55ML size.
For this review I decided to ink up my Bungubox Sailor Vega and Altair – B Nib. It hasn’t gotten much action lately and how can a shimmery raden adorned pen be wrong?

Ink Blob:
This ink confused me a bit. I tried writing with it and didn’t see any sheen :(. But on the blob it had a pretty generous amount. After continuing writing for a bit I did notice that in particularly wet letters, there would be a silhouette of sheen mid letter not on the edges of lettering as I usually see. It definitely warrants trying in other pens, and I may have to revisit this at a later time.
The ink has a high flow, and a medium amount of shading. This will probably not replace any of my usual blue inks, but it is a bright and happy blue that I am glad I have a bottle of.
Not a sheen monster like Walden or Emerson, but with a charm of its own.
I leave you now with a photo of some Conid Caiso surgery!

I totally would not have thought the writing and the blob were the same ink. It’s not just that the sheen is barely evident in the writing, but the blue also seems richer and deeper in the blob. As you note, it may be worth retesting with a wet writer with a more juicy flow.
