Bleu Pacifique - L'artisan Pastellier

[visvamitra]

L'Artisan Pastellier is french ink / calligraphy materials producers. They offer two lines of inks suitable for fountain pens: CALLIFOLIO (inks made for fountain pens, neutral PH and so on) andENCRES CLASSIQUES (not all of them may have perfect properties however I've tried most of them and had no issues in my fountain pens).

L'Artisan Pastellier inks don't get much love or attention here. I understand this as they're not easily obtainable. You may buy them directly from the producer's on-line/stationery boutique. The best thing to do is to organize group buy (I've done it twice last year for polish sountain pen board). It's nice thing to do - you get to meet a lot of people to exchange inks and the shipment cost becomes really friendly.

I must admit I'm huge fan of Callifolio series. They have cool names and some trully unique colors. They're nor super-saturated but I like them this way.

Soon I'll prepare comparison of all 36 colors (there are two new Teodora and Olivastre) but it'll take time. Maybe November?

I'll make reviews of some of them.

Bleu Pacifique has nice and fresh hue. Quite energetic.

Nice comparison! I think if you are in France, this ink is probably a stupendous buy.

I love the color and saturation on this ink! If only there was a practical way to get it outside of Europe (and without having to know French).

Iirc, Vanness carries L'A P inks.

Thanks! They're very modestly priced as well!!

This is one of my very favorites. It does need a bit more of a wet nib for the beautiful sheen to come through. Enjoy!
