First of all, if any of you are still somewhat unsure of the reason for such a small and relatively unknown ink producer having such a devoted and avid following, be in doubt no longer; KWZ inks are 'OMG' good!

I saw Grey Plum on KWZ's website and it was included in my first order with another ink and some samples, but only recently did a little of the ink find it's way into my Sailor brush pen.

Grey Plum is free-flowing and quick drying, and it's colour is incredibly gorgeous!

I have Grey Plum & I love it. It behaves very well & looks gorgeous. You should try Brown Pink as well; another stunner.
I like that they are such original colours.

I love the way Grey Plum behaves on paper, showing first a strong plum colour then drying to a more grey tone; I have Brown Pink as a sample and agree it is also gorgeous and behaves in a similar way.

On the KWZ page it shows the Plum with some sheen ? am I looking wrongly or there is truly a sheen?

I don't think so, but as soon as I have restocked my greaseproof paper supply I will be able to test it; greaseproof paper is like tracing paper and shows any sheen easily.

Locate Vanness Pens facebook page (if you're on facebook), type in a message, and within a couple of hours there is a good chance you'll get the answer.

If there is any sheen to be seen, and there might, it is very slight and very dark either black or purple.
