I've sampled all 47 of the KWZI inks that I got in a special shipment from Konrad.

 

I started by creating a color chart of all 47 inks. The chart is on Rhodia DotPad paper, was scanned in, and I did my best to adjust for color balance.

Next I devoted a Clairefontaine notebook to testing the inks. For each ink I used a Platinum Preppy 0.3mm, dipped into the ink vial. I tried scanning the pages, but the color balance wasn't working to my satisfaction. So I took photos, and included the 4 Sharpie Markers so that Photoshop's Auto-Level adjustment had some context to make a proper color adjustment.

This is amazing! Great Work! Thank you.

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

I hope some day to grow up and be a real ink reviewer like you! Excellent job and clearly hours of effort. Thank you.

Breathe. Take one step at a time. Don't sweat the small stuff. You're not getting older, you are only moving through time. Be calm and positive.

Amazing work! Thank you Dale, even I was tired after 13 sample;)

I have a lot of tape - and I won't hesitate to use it!

Great work. Thank you.

 

My fave looks to be the 43 Dark Brown - I love what's left when washed away

 

32 Azzure No 1 has a certain charm about it too.
