Ink Shot Review: KWZI Menthol Green @AppelboomLaren

Thanks to Appelboom for sending this ink for a review! I am attracted to this minty green sort of color so I figured Menthol Green would be perfect for me. Alas...

PROS 

  • Bottle is easy to fill from.
  • Bottle is tinted to save your ink from UV exposure. It also comes in a box, making it easy to stack.
  • Easy to store on your shelf in the box.
  • Well-behaved. 
  • Looks beautiful in heavy applications - rich and saturated.

CONS

  • Each bottle is wrapped in plastic wrap. I realize this is likely to prevent leaking but it feels wasteful to me.
  • If you use this in a very wet application, it can take a long time to dry and remain a little smudgy. 
  • KWZI inks have a particular smell - some describe it as vanilla. Myself, I do not like it at all. I suffer the smell for the joy of their colors. Fortunately, the smell does not linger on the page, but I feel I must warn you in the event that you find smelly inks off-putting. 

OVERALL

I was surprised to find I was not totally crazy about this ink. As a lover of minty green, I thought this would really be perfect. It is a pretty color but it did not blow me away. I would have liked some more shading. 





I received this item/these items free of charge for the purposes of this review. I was not compensated monetarily for my review. Everything you've read here is my own opinion.
