Ink Review #510: L'Artisan Pastellier Callifolio Aurora

Today I will be reviewing Callifolio Aurora. I do want to preface this post by saying that I’ve switched to using an Endless Recorder Notebook (gifted by a close friend). It has Tomoe River 68 gsm paper, so I am excited to see how it holds up vs Tomoe River Paper 52 gsm.

Swabs:

This ink had a surprisingly long dry time at 45 seconds and medium water resistance.

Writing Sample:

This ink had a dry flow. The color was decent with medium saturation. I didn’t experience any hard starts or skipping, but would have preferred a wetter flow.

Overall: If you like orange-browns, then you should check this ink out! The color reminds me of clay pottery.
