Kwzi Brown Pink

[white_lotus]

Back around the 3rd Group Buy for KWZ Inks, a generous FPNer sent me a sample of the Brown Pink. It seemed like an interesting color, but wasn't able to decide whether I would really like it or not. I'd describe the color as "dirty burgundy", or as a subdued red-violet. It's really hard to put this ink in the category of "brown", but the pictures sometimes try to do that.

 

Here I was fairly complete in my selection of papers: Mohawk via Linen, Hammermill 28lb Inkjet, and Tomoe River.

 

 

 

I think this pic shows the color very well.

 

Here the ink appears quite brown, but that's probably not so accurate.

 

The ink seems to be a mixture of two dyes.

 

Not very water resistant, but it's not advertised as such. But the red-violet tone comes across very well here.

If anything.. it reminds me of Noodlers' English Roses...

 

A better behave English Roses...

 

I do love the color.... :wub:

That sounds right. I don't have the Noodler's but the KWZI color seems similar to the pics I've seen of the Noodler's. Good call. The behavior of the few KWZI inks I've tried so far have been very good.

This looks really nice to me. Especially on the Tomoe River.

Thank you!

Thanks for the review.

This is one I'll pass on. I'm not fond of browns that lean red to start with, and was really ambivalent about the sample of BSiER I tried.

I really like it and wish I could get hold of some.

That is such a nice color! I can see myself using it very easily. Thanks for the review!
