Ink Review #557: L'Artisan Pastellier Encre Classique Rubis

Today I’ll be reviewing L’Artisan Pastellier Rubis. I’ve been in a pink mood lately with my keyboard, Lamy Safari fountain pen, and Lamy Safari ballpoint! (Next up: pink laptop case?)

Swabs:

This is a medium pink with medium shading and no sheen. The swab resembles L’Artisan Encre Classique Rouge, but the writing sample is less saturated.

Tomoe River Paper 52 gsm

Dry Time/Water Resistance:

This ink had an average dry time of 30 seconds and high water resistance.

Writing Sample:

This ink had a dry but smooth flow.

Overall: I liked the shade of pink for this sample: it had good shading and had decent saturation. I would use this as a Valentines Day/February ink or during the spring.
