It might be unfair to blame Saior if a company required its services to release a new line of inks...
That seems to be the case of Nakabayashi, a well known maker of stationeries and office supplies --albeit no fountain pen under their belt. In partnership with Sailor, they have created a sort of a new brand: Nakabayashi ink (https://estilofilos.blogspot.com/2018/07/more-sailor-inks-nakabayashi.html), whose colors are based on ukyo-e engravings by Hokusai and Hiroshige.
The first batch is called "Blue Revolution" and is formed by 5 inks:

The price is not cheap--JPY 2700 per 50ml. That is JPY 54/ml, which is slightly cheaper than the JPY60/ml of the Ink Studio line.
Is there any limit to the offer of inks and colors?
