Kwzi Maroon

[KyleKatarn]

This is the third Kwz Ink that I have tried, after IG Gold and IG Blue #6. This one is a more normal ink and doesn't belong to Konrad's IG line. What it has in common with the other two, though, is the quality, at least as I perceive it.

 

This is a beautifully saturated, rich color, with great flow, a very reasonable dry time, some water resistance, no bleed through or feathering even on cheap paper, moderate to very good shading depending on the paper, and even a little bit of a lovely silvery sheen on Tomoe River. I think that chromatically wise, this one is comparable to Montblanc Burgundy Red, although more vivid in color and several times more wet and better behaved.

 

For those of you who, like me, appreciate a good and rich dark red, I highly recommend you to try out this fantastic ink.

+1 on that. When I tried to click on the link I got some sort of "Imageshack" link, and then a pop-up for a Verizon survey instead.

So that's not my imagination! This is a great color and the ink is very well-behaved; been using it on an almost daily basis since it arrived.

On the page with the Imageshack links, press the black bar under them that says "Download image". That got me the image which I could then open and enlarge.

Sorry guys, I have been a bit busy lately and not spending much time in here. I use the imageshack to avoid overloading our beloved forum with precious space. Did you managed to see it?

 

@Chromantic, did you get a glimpse of that lovely silvery sheen as well?

Indeed, yes. On the small BnR spiral, the sheen is quite pronounced, not Oku-yama heavy but pretty thick (and without affecting the color). Compared to the patently silver sheen of Grapefruit, it looks more gold to me.
