Ink Review #2775: KWZ Grass Green

/

For the rest of the week we are going to focus on KWZ inks, so let’s start with KWZ Grass Green. You can find this ink for sale at some retailers including Vanness Pens.

The color:

Grass Green is a medium emerald green.

*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 turns black where it pools, but I wouldn’t call it sheen.

Writing samples:

Let's take a look at how the ink behaves on fountain pen friendly papers: Rhodia, Tomoe River, and Leuchtturm, as well as on cheap copy paper.

*For my writing samples I use:

Dry time: 40 seconds

Water resistance: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: medium shading, no sheen, and no shimmer.

On 20 lb copy paper the ink had some feathering and bleeding in all nib sizes.

Comparison Swabs:

Grass Green is a bit brighter than Montblanc Irish Green. Click here to see the green inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used a Pelikan M600 Vibrant Green with an extra fine nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had an average flow. Like all KWZ inks, it does smell like vanilla. I only noticed the smell when I was filling the pen, not when I was writing with it.

Overall, I usually like KWZ inks, and this one is lovely. It worked well in all of my pens and cleaned out easily.
