Ink Review #399: Tono & Lims Blue Raspberry Tapioca

Today marks the start of a new notebook! Tono & Lims Blue Rasberry Tapioca is a light pastel blue.

Swabs:

This color had low shading and no sheen. I would describe this as a light sky blue without any apparent undertones. It has low saturation and is closest in color to Sailor Studio 141.

Dry Time/Water Resistance:

This ink had an average dry time of 20 seconds and no water resistance.

Writing Sample:

I found this to be a dry ink which emphasized the low shading and paleness of the color. This color is readable, but only slightly so.

Overall: This is a pretty pale blue but I won’t be purchasing a full bottle. The ink is too dry and does not exhibit prominent shading.
