Ink Review #2776: KWZ Green 2

/

Let’s take a look at another KWZ ink for this week: KWZ Standard Green 2. You can find this ink for sale at some retailers including Vanness Pens.

The color:

Green 2 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:

Green 2 is a bit brighter than Monteverde Yosemite Green. Click here to see the green inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used a Pilot Vanishing Point Bamboo Forest with a medium 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, this is a lovely ink. I really like the color, flow and medium shading. I would recommend it.
