Kwz Ink Menthol Green

[lgsoltek]

Just the right colour for Visvamitra.

 

Thank you Mishka5050 for the sample! Not my kind of green but I'm sure it's a popular one for fans of Caran d'Ache Carribean Sea.

 

I noticed that this ink seems prone to feather and bleed a little bit on cheaper papers, a behaviour that doesn't quite match all other KWZ inks.

This is probably the least awful menthol green ink I've ever seen.

Aaargh. They should have boycoted this color. They don't have black, so why torment people with such thing?

Funny, that's my reaction. As in, not quite, but bearable if I had to.

The sample I had a year ago would actually bleed more through cheap paper over time.

I think Mrs KWZI talked about this somewhere in another post...

Almost a teal :-)

Thanks for the review... in my opinion reviewing not-so-nice inks is as important as reviewing great inks. It helps us avoid wasting money on them, if we don't like what we see.

Hm... it seems that every ink is nice when it is written in a good handwriting. ... this colour is not attractive for me but the ink splash is interesting.

I don't like how it is captured by the camera. I find these kinds of blue greens are really hard to be captured accurately. They always look much bluer in the camera.

Inks are so complicated! Inks are divas! ... anyhow, I like your ink reviews very much!

I must be an outlier here, I guess. This is the green I have been looking for. I completely passed on it when I saw it but I got a sample of it as part of ink journal's ink flight when they were doing KWZ and I discovered this is the perfect green I was looking for. Not only was it just enough off green to give it personality but still green, but I also found it worked well with everything I tried (I did not experience the feathering, but who knows why), but it even had a pleasant smell to it, whether that was intentional or not, I do not know.

 

KWZ inks are interesting to me. The ones I like, I really, really love. The others I have no interest in. But for some reason, someone has to lead me by the hand to find the ones I'll love. And this particular green is definitely one of those. I'm getting my bottle in DC this year, I hope.
