Ink Review #411: L'Artisan Pastellier Callifolio Cassis

Today I will be reviewing a new ink company! Callifolio inks are produced by a small France company, L'Artisan Pastellier. These are non-corrosive water-based inks that can be used in both modern and vintage fountain pens. Cassis is a greyish purple.

Swabs:

This ink had high shading and no sheen. The color is grey-toned purple that leans more towards grey. It is a close match to Tono & Lims Breakthrough. Other grey-purple inks that fall within the same color group are Robert Oster Summer Storm and Robert Oster Sydney Lavender (though these are a few shades off).

Dry Time/Water Resistance:

This ink had an average dry time of 35 seconds and low water resistance.

Writing Sample:

This ink was lovely to write with and has an average flow. The purple is muted enough to use at the office.

Overall: I had a great first impression from Callifolio and hope to review more colors soon! I liked this color a lot and would use it in the fall and winter.
