This fantastic ink ought to be a staple of Fontoplumo's. It is excellent in every way, and has become one of the inks I keep permanently in one pen. It works in every size of nib, as far as I've found. The shading is just right, and the sheen on good papers give it a sophisticated extra. It makes my less friendly nibs seem better. I've tried other KWZ inks, not too many but some, and this is by far my favourite of them all. I haven't found another ink that's got the same colour and properties, especially not the nice saturation and flow along with no crudding.

I wish I'd bought several more bottles, because I realise this is one of the inks I want to keep using the rest of my life.
Please please get this back in stock ;_;

I am a user of KWZ already and like there inks. I bought this ink to match the Monarch pen that I bought. It is a perfect match. I like KWZ inks very good flow and easy to clean the pen after use. I only use the standard KWZ inks Overall 2 thumbs up

Kwz Monarch is a fairly saturated burnt orange ink with good shading and depth, which works well with a flex nib, one of my favourite orange inks (along with the lighter very different Pilot Iroshizuku Fuyu-Gaki, Persimmom). The name, Monarch explicitly evokes the colour of the butterfly and perhaps implicitly a link with the Dutch House of Orange, as Fontoplumo.nl is the exclusive outlet for this ink. I was so pleased with this ink that I quickly bought a second bottle.

This ink blew me away, especially with the Monarch Minimalistica I had purchased with it. It's not an orange that hits you in the face, or one that's unreadable. In fact it's quite a usable everyday ink colour. Very legible, and has incredible ink flow. The shading is amazing. Although it is quite a wet ink, and it dries with a wet looking sheen, so I'm never 100% sure if it's actually dry or not. Either way, I see myself keeping a pen inked up with this everyday!
