Kwz Ink Thief's Red

[Ghost Plane]

Really an amazing looking red. Thanks, everyone, for all the shots and comments. Looks like something I'll want to get.

One thing I often do with reds is mix up a red/black concoction. I love that. Anyone tampered with this adding a little black? It's so deep appearing already, but ...

Try IG Red #1 and see if it does it for you.

Does it have the KWZ ink smell like KWZ honey? The color of this ink is gorgeous, but the scent of KWZ Honey is an affront to my senses, and it would not be worth putting up with to get this ink.

Not as strong. I heard a rumor they now have a vanilla aroma because of complaints. You might want to ask your seller of choice. It doesn't bother me, so I haven't pursued it any farther.

But I'm afraid of iron gall. But I guess the time has come ... thanks

(But Ghost Plane, did you mean IG RED #3? Poked around and found no #1 so figured plain IG Red. But swabs I see are a bit pastel and grayiah. What I see of #3 is darkity-dark red. Just clarifying.)(Then again, was looking at Vanness swabs and, looking again, Red and #3 both look pale whereas the actual swab on the labels seem much darker on both. So ...)

They're all good. I haven't had a bad KWZ color yet in the iron galls. Don't be afraid of iron gall. Just don't leave it caked in your pen tossed in a drawer and forgotten. The swabs are darker because it magically turns dark before your very eyes. Bright reds turn to black with red highlights in the time it takes you to write a few lines. If you're going to sit and think, cap your pen.

Hi I wouldn't recommend mixing it with black If you like dark reds how about KWZ Maroon? This is the darkest red of our Standard range. Alternatively there will be no harm for inks if you mix the same type of KWZi

As for IG - IG Red #1 is more dusty-greyish, IG Red #3 is more dark red, so the later might seem nicer for you. Before oxidation they are both the same bright reds

That's true We introduced Honey of a more neutral smell in September It is funny as it seems that some customers are missing that a lot now!

I have long forgotten what my early bottle of Honey smelled like... I don't think I even noticed any smell...

Thanks Ghost Plane, Mrs.KWZI! Good information.
