    many organizations have tried this.The reason it didn't work is that on low quality stuff as many hagahot as you make a psul will be found in a small percent.
    high qhality stuff doesnt need his hechsher.
    the vaad tried giving hechsher on mehadrin stuff only however price was upped by 20 percent.

We are not interested in biased פילפולים , or in those who said that  דיו עשן is not being used because it fails easily or because it was not known how to make good quality דיו עשן.  Nor are we interested in those who said to use  עפצים וקנקנתום וגומא ואין לשנות when they discussed specifically the עפצים וקנקנתום type of ink. We are interested to find out where and who (if any) said explicitly, based on sources, that the  עפצים וקנקנתום  type of ink is preferable over good quality דיו עשן , even when there is  דיו עשן  of good quality that does not ...
