Bleu Equinoxe 6 - 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.

Bleu Equinoxe 6 is interesting shade of dark deep blue turquoise.

Thank you for the review.

 

Did you do the most saturated first? That violet was spectacular.

Thank you for this review. I like these dark colours.

@Amberlea - well actually I've started by colors I like. Maybe it was a mistake cause now there's a lot of boring colors to post

It looks quite a bit like Sailor Yama-dori in some of the images.

Yep, I understand.

Very handsome ink! I just received a shipment of Califolio inks from Sakura FP Gallery, and the Equinoxe #6 is exceptional. Unusual and intriguing color.

Nice review as always, Visva. Looks quite saturated Whereby "quite" for me means "nicely" i.e. much more so than Herbin but not as much as Noodler's or PR.

How wet is it? I hope at least "quite" up to "very".

Hmm... I've just received a bottle of this from L'Artisan Pastellier but it looks nothing like this... It looks like a Souten... Maybe it's mislabelled? But what should it be?

Hmmm - there are usually differenxces between Callifolio batches but not THAT big. I would say it looks like improved Bleu Pacifique.
