Callifolio Aurora

[julia239]

I didn't like or dislike this ink. The color is not very exciting; it is somewhat pale and has a washed out look - I rated the saturation as medium, but I'd probably revise it to medium-low. It looks like what I imagine aged red writing would look like. I think there are other red-browns that are much more interesting. But, it performs very well. It's a little bit on the wet side and very well lubricated. I didn't see any bleed-through, and there was only a tiny bit of feathering was on Original Crown Mill Laid Paper. The dry time is impressive at about 10 seconds. So, if you want an ink that is a bit less saturated and behaves very nicely, this is a good option. If you're looking for a stand-up-and-shout ink, this is probably not for you.

Also, I like that Callifolio offers both a bottle and the pouch refills. (But can someone explain why the refill is 10 mL bigger than bottle? )

Excellent review. WHile it's not my favorite Callifolio ink, I quite enjoy it.

Thanks for the review, Julia. While not my favorite red, I do like this color and, as you stated, the ink is well behaved.
