Ink Review #614: Tono & Lims Old Book

Today I will be writing about Tono & Lims Old Book. This is a light coffee brown from their Friendship line.

Swabs:

This ink had high shading and no sheen. The color is a warm brown that reminds me of spilled coffee art.

This ink had a very long dry time (considering it is a dry ink), and high water resistance.

This ink had average saturation and a dry flow.

Overall: I liked the color of this ink sample, but it is too dry for my taste. I would recommend this in a wet writer or paired with Vaness’s White Lightning.
