Ink Review #515: L'Artisan Pastellier Callifolio Yalumba

Today we dive right back into L’Artisan inks. If you’ve noticed a trend of L’Artisan and PenBBS inks, it’s because I went on a ink-purchasing spree several months ago.

This ink had low shading and no sheen. The color is a medium orange that is yellower than L’Artisan Pastellier Callifolio Aurora.

This ink had a very dry flow.

Overall: This is an attractive color that would have benefited with better shading and flow. The ink is very dry; I can’t see myself using it regularly.
