Ink Review #2696: KWZ Green Gold 2

Today’s ink is KWZ Green Gold 2. You can find this ink for sale at most retailers, including Vanness Pens. Thanks to KWZ for providing this ink for review!

The color:

Green Gold 2 is a medium pea 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 looks less yellow than it does 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:

• EF Pilot Vanishing Point

• F, M, B Pilot Ishime

• 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: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

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

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

Comparison Swabs:

Green Gold 2 is darker than Robert Oster Australis Tea. Click here to see the green inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used a Franklin-Christoph 45 in Smoke with a broad nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has an average flow.

Overall, I enjoyed this ink. It has a lovely flow, is a nice color and has some fabulous shading. I absolutely recommend it!
