Ink Review #493: L'Artisan Pastellier Encre Classique Carmin

Today we will be reviewing ink from L’Artisan’s Encre Classique line. Carmin is a pleasant pink-purple.

Swabs:

This ink had low-medium shading and little to no sheen. The color is a darker variant of Encre Classique Fuchsia and a close match to Pilot Iroshizuku Yama-Buda (with less sheen).

This ink had a smooth, average flow. The shading complemented the color nicely.

Overall: Overall this was a well-behaved, standard ink. It is similar to other pink-purples I have reviewed so I won’t be purchasing a full sized bottle.
