This ink was tested using procedures from the "Polish Proces" of ink testing developed by the great Polish Ink Connaisseur Visamitra

KWZI Orange

Dear FPN friends

This is my Thirs review of a KWZI inks.

I have used 3 pens for this review my beautiful De Atramentis glass and dip pens.... and a Kaweco calligraphy pen

What I can say in advance is.....Konrad should do this work professionally.

This ink too, is well behaving and quite wet but quickly drying.

To make it easy on the people who are not interested in some Polish history, I will insert the basic parts first. So that you can get a good Idea of this ink and then move on to another topic :)

After that I will add in some writing samples great to experience more about the beauty of this ik and learn a bit about beautiful Poland at the same time :D

http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a617/Morbus_Curiositas/KWZI%20ORANGE/Scan_Pic0005_zpst1ubsbzc.jpg

Very nice bright orange colour

This ink is well behaving as far as I can judge from the use in Glass and Dip pens....On the other hand especially dip pens can be scratchy.... This ink makes even these pens smooth :thumbup:

NIce Ink Or What!!!!

Verdict

Although I am not a great fan of these bright colours I guess as A Dutchman I need to buy this KWZI ink too ;) .... .

It is not that deeply saturated and shading is medium... But it behaves very well and dries quickly.... I Will buy a bottle to highlight my texts when needed....

Will have to wait till I have tested all the samples though....

The Colour is a nice bright Orange not very waterproof but almost no showthrough..... If it wasn't for the colour it is a winner :thumbup:

Regards,

Peter

Hi Peter... let me help you there. Yes, KWZI is only available through Konrad...but we make it easy for people in North America and UK to get their eager little paws on this precious Ambrosia. :D

 

You can follow my signature.. we are completing Group Buy 3 (currently shipping to their final destination)... and we have been providing KWZI since last year.

 

 

Thanks for the GREAT review... :)

I really like this orange. I have a fondness for oranges and reds.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

I like this ink and I also liked the Polish history lesson in the example. I have long felt sorry for Poland. They are very nice people who have some very warlike neighbors.

I'm still trying to figure out how to list all my pens down here.
