Ink Review #2663: KWZ Jurassic Treasure

Today’s ink is KWZ Jurassic Treasure from the All that Glitters collection. This color is so hard to photograph correctly-you’ve been warned. After a lot of editing the images still aren’t quite right. In this post, the color is most accurate in the comparison photo. The color is right in-between gold and green and some of these images make it seem more green than it is. You can find this ink at most retailers including Vanness Pens! Thanks to KWZ for sending this ink over for review!

The color:

Again, the color is right in-between gold and green with lots of gold shimmer.

*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 so much shimmer! The shimmer does a great job of staying in suspension though!

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:

• 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: 30 seconds

Water resistance: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

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

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

Comparison Swabs:

Out of all the comparison swabs I have Jurassic Treasure is closest to the golds. It seems closest to Wearingeul Path but it’s not a great match. Click here to see the yellow inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used a Lamy Safari Savannah with a broad nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has an average flow.

Overall, I really love this ink. The color is super interesting and unusual-I don’t have any other inks that quite match the color. I love how small the shimmer is and how well it stays in suspension-I only had to shake the pen at the beginning of the page and the shimmer stayed consistent throughout the whole page. I absolutely recommend this ink.
