Ink Review #218: Tono & Lims: No.3 Because We Are Here

Today I’ll be reviewing Tono & Lims: Because We Are Here. This is a beautiful orange-brown from their Standard line.

This ink had high shading and no sheen. This is a warm autumn orange that glows on the paper. It shades from a light orange to copper brown. The color is a close match to Montblanc Le Petite Prince Red Fox if you’re looking for a less expensive alternative.

I’m usually not a fan of brown inks but ended up liking this color (and shading) a lot. I used the rest of the sample at work.

Overall: I enjoyed this color quite a lot! It’s a very pretty coppery orange.
