Let’s take a look at KWZ Green Gold today. My sample came from Vanness Pens, but you can find it at most retailers.

*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 is much darker than it is on the Col-o-ring swab.

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

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

Green Gold is pretty close to PenBBS 435 Snow Pine. Click here to see the green inks together.

I used a Pelikan M400 White Tortoise with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has an average flow. I love this pen/ink combo.

Overall, I really like this ink. It’s an interesting color, has a good average flow and even has some shading and a little bit of sheen.
