Kwz Ink Iron-Gall Light Aztec Gold

[lgsoltek]

Konrad makes quality products. If you like this kind of colour just get it. You won't regret it. It has perfect flow and lubrication, with water resistance.

It's more than decent.

I love this ink. It is really fun watching it change color.

I haven't had the opportunity to use KWZ inks before, but that might change. These colours look great! And I see you got Heure Dorée :-)

Thanks for a great review, Lgsoltek! KWZ Aztek Gold is my all time favorite ink (at least this week)...I just love writing with it and watching the color change. I've had a couple pens loaded with it ever since it came out. What a great time to be into fountain pens with the recent introduction of KWZ and Robert Oster inks...awesome colors and pretty well behaved. Like being in Pen & Ink heaven...as it were.

My type of color! from the pics it looks a bit like de atramentis khaki too.

I've had a lot of fun playing with bleach. Here's what I did with Aztec Gold:

my first (and uptil now) only IG. Even if only IGL.

Love it though. The colour and the behaviour. Has been in an EDC almost constantly since I got it.

It's one of the few gold or yellow inks I like, because it's dark enough to be really legible.

Thanks for the review. I really need to get a full bottle of it....

How does it perform on cheap paper. I recently got a bottle of Kwz IG blue no 5 , and while I love the color it bleeds on cooy paper. I was hoping for a better performance from an IG.

I don't remember having trouble with Aztec Gold, but it all depends on each paper... The KWZ inks all tend to be fairly wet.

What is the difference between this and the regular ig Gold? I want a legible daily writing applicable, classy looking gold/old sepia color.

It's a bit more golden when it fully oxidizes would be the biggest difference to IG Gold. It is considered a Iron Gall Light (LGL) ink because it does not have as much iron gall component as many of the other KWZ IG inks, but I believe many of the lighter brown KWZ IG inks are not the most concentrated inks in this regard. This will also depend on how wet the pen you are using is, as a very wet pen will probably have the ink oxide to a similar shade to IG Gold overtime. I like them both, need to make Aztec Gold my next fill, though the waitlist keeps growing!!

Great review, the writing is what Ina Ho's label looks like, but it comes out as a green.
