Kwz Ink Raspberry


lgsoltek

Recommended Posts

This is probably a new try for Konrad, cos this ink is very untypically KWZI. It's a mediumly saturated pink. Personally I'm not too fond of this somewhat pastel colour. I like my pinks vibrant. But the behaviour is perfect as other KWZ inks.

Looks GORGEOUS on your splash.... :wub: :wub:

 

But yeah, is not a typical saturated ink from KWZi.... It needs a VERY wet pen and good paper to shine.

 

I still prefer it over other "neon" pinks out there... :lol:

This looks pretty. I'd have to see it compared to some of the other less saturated pinks on the market, like De Atramentis Apple Blossom and Diamine Flower Collection Carnation (both of which I like a lot) and J Herbin Rose Tendresse (which I thought I'd like, but which turned out to have a lavender undertone that I didn't care for).

Thanks for the review.

I am really enjoying this ink, it behaves well on my standard paper, Roaring Springs Environotes filler paper, and it dries quickly, which as a left hander is great to not see smeared letters as I write. I am using it in an Esterbrook J with a 3968 medium nib, and it flows with a medium wetness that keeps up with my writing pace. I am one to enjoy any shade of color, and find this to be a great ink to use if looking for one in this shade.

FP Ink Orphanage-Is an ink not working with your pens, not the color you're looking for, is never to see the light of day again?!! If this is you, and the ink is in fine condition otherwise, don't dump it down the sink, or throw it into the trash, send it to me (payment can be negotiated), and I will provide it a nice safe home with love, and a decent meal of paper! Please PM me!<span style='color: #000080'>For Sale:</span> TBA

Hmmm.... pastell or not, it's just not raspberry-ish enough for me. It looks like raspberrries are hard to duplicate. Jansen's is less pastell-ish but lacks the bluishness seen here....

Unlike Cyber6, I like the neonish pinks. (I do live in the City of Neon, so maybe it's a comfort thing?)

 

Thank you, LG for the great review.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

I am with you Amber! Maybe we can ask (coerce) Konrad into making a vibrant neon pink for us. We can even call it Vegas Pink!

Let me guess, images like the one below are why I am not in the ink design business?

      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
