Kwzi Orange

Recommended Posts

OK, I've posted enough reviews about KWZ inks you'd think I was Polish. I'm American, but my ancestors (great grandparents or earlier) were from somewhere in Poland, though my grandparents always claimed they were German. So perhaps this is why I'm so attracted to these inks, or maybe it's because they typically have very good handling qualities and are very good colors.

 

Orange was not a color that interested me for the longest time. I thought it might be naturally too bright. I prefer browns, blues, murky greens. But orange can be nice and I've found a few that I like. KWZ Orange is a relatively pure orange, fairly bright, but not retina-searing, not overly saturated so you get some nice shading especially on Tomoe River, Rhodia, etc. I would probably use this more for markup rather than writing many pages, but that's my personal preference. I'm sure there are those that enjoy the happy color of a good orange and will write whole chapters with it.

 

Pen: Pelikan M200 (M-steel)

Papers: MvL=Mohawk via Linen, TR=Tomoe River, Hij=Hammermill 28 lb inkjet.

 

One thing I found difficult with the images was trying to capture that bright, pure quality of the inks' color. I don't think I've done it at all. It simply appears more muted, more toned down, and more saturated rather than bright. But this isn't an orange ink that goes down orange and dries to brown or burnt siena. It goes down orange and dries orange.

Not water resistant at all. Mostly lifts off the page when blotted and washes away otherwise. But any kind of water resistance wasn't expected.

A bright single dye.

This is one of my favorites. Thank you for the review.

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

      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..

      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
