Efnir: Pilot Iroshizuku Kiri-Same

[Intensity]

This is one of my top grays. It's so interesting. In some light it almost looks brown, certainly beige. Not your typical gray. It also has a slight pink-purple tinge.

Yes, brownish and pinkish both fit. And now I'm wondering how really watered-down KWZI Brown Pink would compare. Hmm.

I have KWZ Brown Pink, also one of my top favorites. Never considered it being similar or diluting it. I think it'd need a lot of dilution, which would make it quite dry. I'll check though!

Yes, it would definitely need lots of dilution, but still, they seemed a bit similar to me. Maybe I'll do a little chromatography - haven't done that in ages.

OK, done, and KWZI Brown Pink was most surprising, and other than both having pink in them, there's not much similar:

 

I did not try to color-correct this photo - the KWZI is brighter than the photo shows, the Kiri-same is browner.

I have always liked this ink.

Can it be used in a professional setting and is it dark enough that it will be legible if a copy needed to be made.

Thanks,

David

You're very welcome!  It's a little pale out of my EF nib, but I can see a larger, wetter nib working well in an office - unless pencils are forbidden, then you're gonna get complainers (which could also be fun ).

I have it in a Kaweco sport with a B nib at the moment, and it's plenty dark enough. Copies just fine. I think it would be more than OK in a medium, but might start to get a bit less easy to copy in a dry fine if that's the sort of thing you use. 

 

It's one of my favourite greys, and I love grey inks

Thanks for the review.

 

The ink, despite being a nice one, sadly seems a bit too light for my taste. I used it once and feeling was same, too light, but thats just me, its pretty ink no doubt just not my cup of tea.

 

On a side note, I am pondering too, why boxing wizard....hmm time to add magic to those fists I guess.....

Can't disagree with this.  The brown-lean also isn't my favorite.  But I can understand why some like it.

  Pretty sure it was because someone needed and X and a Z in the same sentence....  Or maybe they box because their magic isn't so good...

Here's the line width measurement. The line is one of those used for dry time.  Magnification is 100x.  The grid is 100x100µm.  The scale is 330µm, with eleven divisions of 30µm each.  The line width for this ink is roughly 300µm.
