There are several blues in the KWZ line called "Azure". This one is darker than Azure #4, has less leanings towards green, in fact a slight leaning toward red, but it doesn't often seem that way to me. The ink handles splendidly, and I really like it. Definitely want to try the other three Azures that I don't have.

 

There is red sheen on Tomoe River paper where the ink pools. You may get better results depending on your paper and pen/nib.

 

The usual papers that I use: Mohawk via Linen=MvL, Tomoe River=TR, Hammermill 28 lb inkjet=Hij.

 

The ink handled very well. Beautiful color, very smooth.

An ink droplet or two.

Some loss of color and the possibility of the ink being washed away obscures what's left behind.

Thanks for the review. I don't have this one, but I have KWZI Azure #1 in a pen at the moment.

      Thanks for the info (I only used B&W film and learned to process that).   Boy -- the stuff I learn here!  Just continually astounded at the depth and breadth of knowledge in this community! Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      >Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color,<   I'm sure they were, and my answer assumes that. It just wasn't likely to have been Kodachrome.  It would have been the films I referred to as "other color films." (Kodachrome is not a generic term for color film. It is a specific film that produces transparencies, or slides, by a process not used for any other film. There are other color trans

      @Ceilidh -- Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color, not just B&W like I learned to process.  Whether they were doing the processing of the film themselves in one of the darkrooms, or sending their stuff out to be processed commercially?  That I don't actually know, but had always assumed that they were processing their own film.

      Kodachrome 25 was the most accurate film for clinical photography and was used by dermatologists everywhere. I got magnificent results with a Nikon F2 and a MicroNikkor 60 mm lens, using a manually calibrated small flash on a bracket. I wish there were a filter called "Kodachrome 25 color balance" on my iPhone camera.
