How's it compare, color-wise, to the regular IG Orange? I just ordered a bottle of that in the group buy someone in my local pen club put together, and now I'm wondering if the Mandarin would have been closer to what I want....

Sigh.

When's that January NA Group buy happening? 'Cause between this and the IG Green-Gold....

I'm always one step behind reviews in posting scans photos, but here is comparison between few of my more recent ins and some older ones. Those are scans, so they are not the best in color representation... but I have plane in 8 hours :blush: and I grabbed what I actually had in home for fast comparison ;)

On this scans both rotten green and hunter green looks pretty far from truth (on my monitor - in real those colors are both darker and more green, with Hunter green significantly more green than Rotten Green)

I don't have IG Orange at home - I thought that one of samples was this ink, but this was one of versions of IG Sepia - yet not fully tested and accepted ink.

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

Thank you for the pictures!!

 

I'll try and add them to the other links if you don't get a chance to do it.

 

Ruth, I'll try and ink up Orange in the next few days.

Hello, I'm still pretty new to the Fountain Pen world, got a little sidetracked with dip pens and practicing Spencerian. However, I have acquired a few vintage pens. :) One of them is a Jade Tulip and I'm looking for the right green, which is proving surprisingly difficult. A few of the KWZI IG greens look really good, much better than anything else I've seen (to my eye and taste). Would they be okay to use in a vintage FP with a lever system? I'm thinking cleaning is going to be more challenging than with the Noodler's Ahab pen, which I'm A-OK for taking apart and putting back together now.

 

A related question, are the non-IG inks generally friendly to pens, especially those with sacs and so forth?

 

Thank you,

Elle

Elle, I love my KWZI inks. Konrad's Iron Galls are the nicest I've ever used. As with any pen, clean it. Don't let the ink dry out inside.

I am hoping to participate in the next KWZI Group Buy. Looks as though it will be very popular! The IGs draw me the most, although there are some many other gorgeous colors.

 

I know how to take an Ahab apart so no worries with using IGs in that. It's my new-to-me Tulip with super flexible gold nib and lever fill system that has me worried. And that's the one that I want to put an IG Green or Gold-green in!

 

Thanks for your reply.

Has anyone tested this for water resistance? It's such a lovely color...

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
