Old Gold.. my favorite KWZI ink...... Full name is Cyber6's Old Gold... ;) ;)

 

 

 

C.

 

I am all for changing the name to Cyber6's Old Gold or Cyber6's favorite - KWZI OG. Or maybe we should get you a little seal that says, Favorite of Cyber6. Let me work on that.

 

LG, thanks for the great review.

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

Okay, Cyber6, what do you th-INK? I've also included a draft badge if I like it (which should include a warning).

Love those badges! We need some stinkin' badges!

 

btw, how does this ink look in a regular medium nib? Is it towards the lighter range or the darker?

In the Gold comparison thread there's a photo of it in a Lamy 1.5 stub.

Thanks! And looking at Vanness it seems like a nice golden brown. There may well bother KWZ inks in my future.

Pardon me for summoning up that which was at rest, but could anyone who has used both KWZ Old Gold and Sheaffer King's Gold comment on how they compare? I have but one cartridge of King's Gold left (and, yea, very little of that cartridge), and will be very sad to see it go. I'd love a solid replacement, and (given the limitations of photography, monitor color fidelity, and eyeballs) KWZ Old Gold looks quite similar in terms of hue and shading.

I have both .. and they are quite different. Check Post #43 on the Doppelganger thread...

Sheaffer's Kings Gold is there..

 

 

Is very possible, your cartridges have evaporated a bit, thus making the ink looks more saturated.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
