Like many of Konrad's inks, this one doesn't sheen so much as glow:

Red is not my color, but muted reds like burgundy can be quite attractive and usable. I like the looks of this one. And I've never had a problem with KWZ ink. Thanks!

Thank you for giving us a look at this ink! Although the color is not one I gravitate towards, that shading... :wub: I may have to look closer at the KWZ inks.

I'll come up with something eventually.

KWZ sits on some sort of shading secret from the gods. I wrote a letter in IG Violet #2 last night and it has the exact same masterful shading quality.

That is a really lovely colour! I prefer my reds to be deeper/darker.

 

Also, what is the notebook that you're using?

I do, too, and this one certainly fits the bill! As for the notebook, it's a Kokuyo Idea Note notebook.

Excellent review as ever. Thanks. I am wondering if KWZ Maroon #1 is the same as KWZ Maroon?

Jaz

 

 

Yes, they are the same. We only call it KWZi Maroon #1 once a Maroon #2 is out. To make it easy to differentiate.

      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

      @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
