Ink Review #497: KWZ Standard Baltic Memories

Today we will be reviewing KWZ Standard Baltic Memories. This is a deep blue that was released alongside KWZ Standard Walks over Vistula back in 2017.

Swabs:

This ink had low shading and high red sheen. The color is a dark navy.

Dry Time/Water Resistance:

This ink had an average dry time of 25 seconds and low water resistance.

Writing Sample:

Tomoe River Paper 52 gsm

This ink had a wet flow. I don’t mind wet inks but I’ve found that sheening inks tend to have a “sticky” or “gummy” consistency when writing.

Overall: I have to be honest, I was not a fan of this ink. The sheen does not make up for the consistency or low shading. I will have to pass on this color!
