Ink Review #1826: KWZ Foggy Green

Today’s ink is KWZ Foggy Green from KWZ’s standard collection. You can find this ink for sale at most retailers including Vanness Pens.

The color:

Foggy Green is a deep petrol teal.

*For my swab cards I use a Col-o-ring by Skylab Letterpress, a medium Pilot Ishime and a Mabie Todd Swan.

Swabs:

In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink has some black sheen.

Writing samples:

• Vintage Mabie Todd Swan (flex nib)

• Rhodia Goalbook

• Taroko Enigma notebooks (68gsm TR)

• Leuchtturm A5

• Pen & Gear Paper from Walmart

Dry time: 50 seconds

Water resistance: Medium

Feathering: None

Other properties: low shading, high black sheen, and no shimmer.

On 20 lb copy paper there is some feathering in all nib sizes as well as a bit of bleeding.

Comparison Swabs:

Foggy Green is similar to Noodler’s USS Texas. Click here to see the teal inks together.

Longer writing:

I used an Esterbrook Estie Montana Sapphire with a broad nib on a Taroko Breeze notebook. The ink had an average flow.

Overall, this is a nice ink. It’s well behaved and a lovely dark color.
