This ink was tested using procedures from the "Polish Proces" of ink testing developed by the great Polish Ink Connaisseur Visamitra

KWZI Orange

Dear FPN friends

This is my Thirs review of a KWZI inks.

I have used 3 pens for this review my beautiful De Atramentis glass and dip pens.... and a Kaweco calligraphy pen

What I can say in advance is.....Konrad should do this work professionally.

This ink too, is well behaving and quite wet but quickly drying.

To make it easy on the people who are not interested in some Polish history, I will insert the basic parts first. So that you can get a good Idea of this ink and then move on to another topic :)

After that I will add in some writing samples great to experience more about the beauty of this ik and learn a bit about beautiful Poland at the same time :D

http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a617/Morbus_Curiositas/KWZI%20ORANGE/Scan_Pic0005_zpst1ubsbzc.jpg

Very nice bright orange colour

This ink is well behaving as far as I can judge from the use in Glass and Dip pens....On the other hand especially dip pens can be scratchy.... This ink makes even these pens smooth :thumbup:

http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a617/Morbus_Curiositas/KWZI%20ORANGE/KWZI%20ORANGE%20SAMPLER_zpsrgozbvta.jpg

Lubrication: medium wet points: 3

http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a617/Morbus_Curiositas/KWZI%20ORANGE/Scan_Pic0012_zps6cmdjhxm.jpg

Well that is very little showthrough on this low quality paper that is better suited for wiping your buttocks :lticaptd:

http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a617/Morbus_Curiositas/KWZI%20ORANGE/Scan_Pic0011_zpsuybxxfha.jpg

NIce Ink Or What!!!!

Verdict

Although I am not a great fan of these bright colours I guess as A Dutchman I need to buy this KWZI ink too ;) .... .

It is not that deeply saturated and shading is medium... But it behaves very well and dries quickly.... I Will buy a bottle to highlight my texts when needed....

Will have to wait till I have tested all the samples though....

The Colour is a nice bright Orange not very waterproof but almost no showthrough..... If it wasn't for the colour it is a winner :thumbup:

Regards,

Peter

I really like this orange. I have a fondness for oranges and reds.

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 like this ink and I also liked the Polish history lesson in the example. I have long felt sorry for Poland. They are very nice people who have some very warlike neighbors.

      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
