Hello FPN!!!

 

This will be my first Ink Review ever so please be easy on me.

I got a super exclusive ink from Cyber6 to review.

 

I had heard of KWZI and saw some amazing review on FPN but seeing it in person....wow!!! I got to see...wait..no...experience KWZI for the first time at the Scriptus Toronto Pen Show. Cyber6 was nice enough to show us the amazing color and properties of KWZI & Black Stone Inks (aka Susemai ink....another Awesome ink).

 

Both the IG & Non-IG inks were amazing. It was an eye opener for me to see an IG ink in a color other than Blue!

I have only used the following IG inks in the past: Lamy Blue Black, R&K Salix, and Platinum Blue Black.

 

OK on with the review!!!

KWZI #74 IG Orange

 

Paper:

HP 32lb Laser Jet Paper

Pen:

Noodler's Nib Creaper with Flex nib

Noodler's Nib Creaper with OBB nib

 

Shading: Amazing!!

The color shades from Yellow to Orange at first (ala Apache Sunset)

but as it oxidizes the color turns a more Olive to Very Dark Brown.

The color transition is Super Fast! I tried to capture it but FAILED. I tried to take a picture right after writing but the color turned even before I could capture it.

Feathering: None

Bleedthrough: None

Water Resistant: Yes! It leaves behind a greyish line.

Alcohol Resistant: Yes. You might be wondering why did I test alcohol? At my work paperwork are prone to damage from water and/or alcohol. NO, not "booze" alcohol!!! Hand sanitizers and alcohol swabs etc.

This is my futile attempt to capture the color change.

Since I was trying to write as fast as possible and take a picture I misspelled KWZI as KWSI. Sorry Konrad!

 

I tried to do the same here.

It starts out yellow/orange and very quickly turns olive/dark brown.

I've never seen anything like it. Such a cool ink.

 

Thank you Konrad for making such an awesome ink! and Thank you Cyber6 for letting me try it out!

Oh, and to those that reviews ink/paper/pen on FPN thank you for taking the time to do so!

After doing my first review I can now truly understand how much effort/time it can take.

 

Oh and I have one more "exclusive" ink to be reviewed. Hopefully by next week.

 

If you want me to send you a writing sample of KWZI#74 let me know.

Hello FPN!!!

 

This will be my first Ink Review ever so please be easy on me.

 

 

Your first??? NAH!!!... This review is AWESOME!!!!.... I love the color... soooo much !!!!!!!!!!!! I love Konrad's inks... they are soo saturated and GORGEOUS.. and they are so well behave.

 

 

The best way to capture the color change is with a video.. I'll see if I can get one made tonight. But your pictures are amazing and show the ink so well...

 

 

Looking forward to the next exclusive ink... ;)

GREAT JOB!!!! Thank you for sharing.

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

BTW... where did you get an OBB for your Creaper?? :huh:

Hi C6,

 

I got the OBB from xfountainpens.com

http://www.xfountainpens.com/collections/accessories/products/knox-k26-fountain-pen-nib

I wanted to try an oblique. But to be honest the OBB is not a whole lot different from BB in terms of writing experience.

 

Here is a review from SamCapote

You had made very nice review :) I'm very happy that you enjoy writing with my inks. And I always look for some new colour ideas:)

 

Don't worry about my initials until you not are going to take an attempt to spell my name than we are completely fine :D

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

Very nice review! You get a gold star. Can't wait to see the other "exclusive" color you have to review.

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.

To get the KWZI inks, send a PM to Cyber6 asking about the upcoming Group Buy #3.

I think the next group buy is sometime in January, open to all first come first served.

 

I do hope this ink is offered at the the 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
