Cyber6 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) Hello All… This is the highly anticipated KWZI – Group Buy !!! The Ink Master: Hi, I am Konrad. I love writing with fountain pens - I very often just scribble whatever comes to my mind, just to relax. I'm quite sure that many fountain pen users do the same as me. I'm a chemist, both from passion and profession. I always tried to use fountain pen to write notes in my laboratory, but in my work, I always use vast amount of water, organic solvents and etc. So from time to time I accidentally smeared a page with wet hand, or spilled chloroform on journal. I kept looking for waterproof inks - and I came on Iron-Gall inks, I was charmed with them, how they change the color and how they look after some time. I made my first ink - which was pretty simple and wasn't too god, but I got the idea that I can make ink of whatever properties and color I would like. I had made my first ink two and half years ago, and during this time I came quite long road, from most basic inks to some quite fine and complicated formulas. My addiction with fountain pens (let's be honest with ourselves ) moved a bit from looking for perfect fountain pens to looking for perfect dye composition, correcting flow and other properties in my inks. I have to be honest that after ~80 trials with one specific ink, and it still wasn't stable I wanted to throw everything out the window. But something around the 90th trial it worked! Today I have quite large number of inks of different types in many colors - and I haven't said the last word. So I'm Konrad I'm addicted to inks and I want to show you my work This is KWZI first Transatlantic Group Buy, but it won’t be the last. If your favorite color is not available today, do not despair. Konrad is busy replenishing his stock and old and new colors will be available for future Group Buys.

daintydimsum Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 What about European buyers? Seems rather disappointing for those actually nearer to kwzi. Unless of course my two emails to Konrad simply disappeared. Happy for those in North America though! Link to post Share on other sites
