Ink Review #2701: KWZ Turquoise

/

Today’s ink is KWZ Turquoise from the standard collection. You can find this ink for sale at most retailers including Vanness Pens. Thanks to KWZ for sending this ink over for review!

The color:

Turquoise is just that-a bright medium turquoise.

*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 some shading.

Writing samples:

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

*For my writing samples I use:

Dry time: 40 seconds

Water resistance: Medium

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

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

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

Comparison Swabs:

Longer Writing:

I used a Lamy Al-star Tourmaline with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has an average flow.

Overall, turquoise is one of my favorite colors so I love this one. It has a good flow, a little bit of shading, and is a pretty color, perfect for the summer months.
