Callifolio Aurora

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? :huh: )

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

      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
