Another close-up. I had a hard time capturing the ink's shininess.

This is another ink that's very paper-dependent. Here it is on more absorbent paper:

Very nice review! I have to say that I am not real thrilled by the color. It's just not me.

I wonder how this compares to the discontinued Montblanc Racing Green? Anyone have both?

Really deceptive -- the written examples definitely look dark green (I was thinking much like the color of PR Avacado). But the swab makes it look like Noodler's El Lawrence....

Thanks for the review. This is one I think I need to think about. I'm not sure I like it, but I'm not sure I *don't* like it.... :huh:

Thanks for the review, the shading is really lovely. :) Greens labelled as hunter greens don't normally interest me, but I could see myself using this one, it's very pretty.

I really like this. Easy to clean out of a pen?

Yep, no issues there.

This is a fantastic ink and the review is pretty spot on. Depending on the paper used, one can bring out the brown or stone green in it.

 

More reviews, gylyf! XcD

Thanks for the review! This is the type of color that I like... From the scan it looks like a green with grey/brown undertones. Really my kind of ink. Have to fire up my browser and find out how to lay my hands on a bottle :-)

This is an amazingly complex ink. As has been said, paper and nib choice give you a lot of possibilities.

 

Wonderful inks, KWZI, and Konrad & Agnieszka are a pleasure to deal with.

My favourite sketching ink at the moment. Can't stop using it. Every paper stock brings out a different nuance in it's colour.

Just got a bottle of this (and two other KWZ inks).

Dark and mellow enough for everyday use. An interesting ink that doesn't hurt your eyes. Wonderful!

KWZ makes several nice greens - this one, Midnight and Rotten - but having both Miruai and Tokiwa-matsu already, I can't really justify getting this one, pretty as it is.

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
