Calllifolio Équinoxe 6: An Ink With A Mind Of Its Own


senzen

Recommended Posts

There are couple of very good reviews, this is just to give an idea of the metamorphosis this ink goes through, and how it looks next to others.

 

Notice the first doodles in row 1 and row 3: when it starts it wants to be a (not purplish but certainly not as greenish) blue, closer to Souten, but eventually settles on a green blue, closer to Kon Peki, but still distinct, even if this shot doesn't capture that perfectly. When it starts it also has a lot of sheen. This is with a Faber Castell Ambition in extra fine, on a Rhodia n. 8 pad. By the time I started rows 11 and 13 after filling in the other colours, it had gone back to its darker self; it was kept in a box in the few minutes in between, I don't think we can talk about evaporation: sediments??

Row 4: Ama Iro, Kon Peki, Souten back side of the nib, Souten, Tsuyu Kusa.

 

Row 6: Chiku Rin, Vert Empire, Verde Muschiato, Ina Ho, Asa Gao.

 

Row 8: Orange Indien, Fuyu Gaki, Mandarin, Inti, Myosotis.

 

Row 10: Ancient Copper, Rouge Hematite, Diamine Poppy Red, Lie de thé, Ajisai.

 

Row 12: Verdigris, Perle Noire Pilot extra fine, perle Noire Muji fine, yama Guri.

 

In the end I don't mind the colour shift since I've come to expect it, I really like this colour in its different variants anyway, and it looks good coming out of the pearwood pen, but I can understand why it might not be everyone's cup of tea.

 

Vert Empire is misbehaving and looking a lot darker than it is, there's always one in the family shot!

 

Edit: reshooting just for Vert Empire

I don't think any of those squares of bright blue ink show L'Artisan Pastellier Callifolio Equinoxe (6). :( That is a teal ink that's never close to Sailor Jentle Souten.

 

I believe you might have a mislabelled bag like the one that I have, and that Lgsoltek has. See This review thread :(

OK then, you have a mislabelled bottle rather than a mislabelled pouch. It's not Equinoxe (6). That's a teal ink that looks more like Sailor Yama dori than Souten.

It's really irritating that the "wrong" ink comes in bottles and pouches. "sigh" :(

 

Do we know what the actual colour is yet? :huh:

      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
