As we know, KWZ makes excellent ink in Poland and thankfully Cyber6 went to great efforts to let everyone know about this ink, arrange group purchases, and with ink lovers frothing at the mouth to the retailers, Vanness carries these inks in the US. I believe there is also a shop in Belgium as well, but I don't know the name. Other shops in the US have tried to obtain these inks, but Konrad is a very busy professor at university so his time is somewhat limited. You should seriously consider these inks if you haven't already. Foggy Green is a wonderful dark, muted green. Not as dark as Sailor's Miruai if you've tried that one. Foggy Green stays dark green, and only in the shadows does the appearance shift to near black. This is a green that leans a little towards the blue. This is yummy stuff for a murky green lover like me. KWZ Rotten Green is probably more muted, as in neutral/grayed, and leans slightly towards the yellow. The usual papers: Mohawk via Linen=MvL, Tomoe River=TR, Hammermill 28 lb inkjet=Hij. Not sure if I'd trust this ink if there was a serious spill. But this is considered part of the standard line of KWZ inks, so water resistance is not expected. Relatively easy to clean from pens as a result. Another fascinating ink droplet.

I had always wondered about some of the KWZ muted greens. The swabs, images, and samples online never seemed very fulfilling. Recently someone sent a sample of this particular muted green, and I loves it. It really is very nice, if you like this color range. The handling is very good as is typical for KWZ inks. This is part of the standard line of inks, so no water resistance. Originally I started out using a vintage Sheaffer Balance Vac-fill. I'd been told when I bought it the nib was a medium. More like an extra-fine. So I soon switched pens to a modern one with a real medium nib. Much better in displaying the ink. The papers are usual are MvL=Mohawk via Linen, Hij=Hammermill 28 lb inkjet, TR=Tomoe River.
