KWZ announced new ink. It's called Sheen Machine:

Blue color, red-pink sheen and lesser probability of drying in the pen due to original formula. Can't wait to see it in person and give it a try :)

I like KWZ inks, but I already have Studio Organics Nitrogen and Diamine Julur Gemilang.

Add lightness and simplicate.

Yes the label looks nice. I'm not really interested in sheen. I hope they do well with it.

Oooh.....

I think I know someone who needs a bottle of this when it gets stateside (I mean *besides* me). I was talking to a friend of mine about pens and inks yesterday (she's a calligrapher and botanical artist) and was saying that while she's not wild about the color of J Herbin Emeralds of Chivor she's thinking about getting it to do calligraphy to sell at SF conventions. But she liked KWZI Walks Over Vistula when I let her try my Lamy LX. So something this sheeny might be right up her alley (It certainly is right up mine.... :puddle:

I’ll be totally honest, all of the hordes of blue super-sheeners look identical to me.

 

 

While I don't think they look identical, the pink/red/magenta/purple sheen on blue ink thing is getting really boring and passé. I don't understand the chemistry of inks, but why can't ink manufacturers/mixers produce more blue inks with green sheen, graphite sheen, silver sheen, gold sheen? I love Sailor Shikiori yonaga because it sheens green not pink/red/magenta/purple. How about a green-leaning teal or turquoise ink that richly sheens blue?

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

Anyone know how this compares to Skull and Roses? I haven't been able to get that ink, and was wondering if this would be an easier to get ink comparatively that is as good? I was turned off the Nitrogen ink based on people saying it was harder to clean. Since I'm new to fountain pens, I didn't want any ink troubles while I'm learning the pen/cleaning routine but I wanted a sheening ink at the same time.

I'll try to do a scan later, but I just ordered a couple of KWZ Inks from Fountainfeder, and the hand-written note I got from Steffi was written in KWZ Sheen Machine. For all intents and purposes that I can see, it's the same colour as Skull & Roses, maybe with a hair smidge more shading than the Diamine version. I can say nothing to the properties of the ink though, I only have a writing sample.

Quick photo. Note that the colours in the photo turn out bluer than what I see.

 

The base colour of Sheen Machine is noticeably greener than Skull & Roses. As for cleaning I don't know yet. I've only had it for a couple of days only.

Thanks for the info you guys. I saw skull and roses on Amazon but if this is as similar, I might get it instead. Guess I have to wait to see how it cleans out. Maybe in my next batch of inks to buy. I'm already collecting inks I don't need but are so pretty

Thanks for the swatches, LGSoltek. Does Sheen Machine smear when "dry" like Nitrogen does?

I've just checked on some stuff I wrote about 6 hours ago using a 1.1mm stub on Rhodia Dotpad and it did smear. Not as bad as Nitrogen but it smeared nonetheless...

THANK YOU all for sharing.

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

I really like it but the lubrication, flow and lack of nib dry out comes at a price. It can be a bit bleedy (but not feathery) and the ink has quite an incredible dry time

      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
