Ink Review #444: KWZ Grapefruit — Fountain Pen Pharmacist

Today I will be reviewing KWZ Grapefruit. This is a saturated red that pops off of the paper. I do apologize for the mismatched backgrounds—the next few reviews will show swatches on my new desk.

Swabs:

This ink had no shading or sheen. It is a bright, medium red.

Dry Time/Water Resistance:

This ink had quite a long dry time at 60+ seconds and no water resistance.

Writing Sample:

I found this ink to have a wet and smooth flow. I had a pleasant time writing and can easily see this being used to grade papers.

Overall: Grapefruit is a saturated bright red, but I would have preferred if it had more noticeable orange undertones. I don’t think I will be purchasing a full bottle as this ink is similar to other reds I have reviewed (and does not have shading or sheen).
