Kwzi Grey Plum

Recommended Posts

I know many people like this ink, but I wish it was more plum and less grey. It has lots of shading. It's just I don't like grey inks. I'll take boring black over grey any day of the week. It was quite difficult to capture the color as the camera typically made the writing too dark.

 

Pen: Pelikan M400 (M-steel)

Nice one. Your color on paper resembles mine on my paper (on my screen). I love it, just because it is more of a grey, and that's why i bought it! They should have named it Plum Grey!

Lovely review again. Thank you for all these lately.

I've not commented on many of them but really do appreciate your time and sharing your findings.

 

I wished mine was more grey than plum. I gave my bottle away :mellow:

Thanks for the review. I know you didn't care much for Grey Plum, but I love it.

I tried this one over the weekend. I liked it a lot. Mine seemed lighter than what you showed here a little. I had it in a medium nib. It was not leaning too much grey for me at all. I thought it was a nice mix. I would've liked it a little darker, but it was not too light at all. Nice wet, lubricated, shading, well behaved. It was an unusual color too.

      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
