Ink Review #416: KWZ Standard El Dorado — Fountain Pen Pharmacist

Today I’ll be reviewing a popular KWZ Ink. El Dorado is part of the Standard ink collection. I’ve heard many positive things about this color and am excited to try out the sample!

Swabs:

This ink had high shading and no sheen. This is a lovely amber-gold that is more saturated than Diamine Honey and a few shades lighter than Tono & Lims Mango Mojito.

Dry Time/Water Resistance:

This ink had quite a long dry time—over 60 seconds—and low water resistance.

Writing Sample:

This ink had a slightly wet and smooth flow. I really liked the shading—it shone in my journal. El Dorado, indeed! The color is cheerful and bright but dark enough to read.

Overall: Overall this is a stunning gold ink with amazing shading and a smooth flow.
