Ink Review #483: L’Artisan Pastellier Callifolio Bordeaux

For today’s review I will be writing about Callifolio Bordeaux, a magenta-colored ink.

Swabs:

This ink had medium shading and no sheen. The color is a reddish-purple.

Tomoe River Paper 52 gsm

Dry Time/Water Resistance:

This ink had quite a long dry time at 50+ seconds and low water resistance.

Writing Sample:

I found this ink to have an average flow (and yet such a long dry time!). The color is saturated and provides a nice pop of color. Despite the dry time, this ink performed well without any hard starts or skips.

Overall: Overall Callifolio Bordeaux is a well-behaved magenta.
