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.

Andrinople is pink-red. Not my piece of cake.

Wow. Um, yeah. That is pink alright....

Thanks for the review. It's interesting to see brands (like Callifolio) that I'm not familiar with.

I love your reviews, I'm not sure if I love this ink though, it stricken me as a very dusty Rose. Nicely saturated though.

The praise of the praiseworthy is above all rewards.

This one calls out for a CRV. Thanks for a great review!

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Nice review, as always. I bought some callifolio inks a couple of months ago and, unfortunately, I don't like them so much. I find them too watery and under saturated for my tastes, and with an excessive drying time. For me they are a million miles from, say, KWZ... Did others tought the same?

 

I can send some samples, if someone wants to try, because I think I will never finish them over. I have Violet, Bleu Mediterranée, Inti, Anahuac and Canelle.

Hi KyleKatarn. Personally I like Callifolio inks however I perfectly understand why others don't. They start looking well in broad nibs. I've organised three Callifolio group buys in Poland in recent years and there are peole who dislike them and people who ask me to organise next group buy :) Everything depends on what and with what do you write. I've seen this inks in flex pen and the results are stunning. In drier pens they won't look really interesting though.

I agree with you that these inks look really well in flex nibs. I have adapted a Zebra G nib to Jinhao x450 pen and it is a joy to use these inks with it. Other than that I don't really like it, not even with B, BB, italics or stubs... As for the paper, I mostly use good one, Clairefontaine, Rodhia, Tomoe River, G. Lalo, Canson, Fabriano, Midori... So, I think that the quality of the paper hasn't influenced my opinion.

 

EDIT: I forgot to mention one thing I actually like a lot about these inks. They are all intermixable, so you can make your own concoctions and unique colors, if you feel like doing that kind of thing.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
