Today’s ink is KWZ Pine Green. You can find this ink for sale at mosts retailers including Vanness Pens. Thanks to KWZ for sending this ink over for review!

The color:

Pine Green is a beautiful 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 has a bit of black sheen.

Writing samples:

Longer Writing:

I used a Pilot Custom 74 with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has an average flow.

Overall, I really like this ink! It’s a beautiful color, has some nice shading and a lovely average flow.
