Palette of shades

Quite pale for my taste... But I know a few here who would be twitching, so to speak

[inkstainedruth]

I had been wondering what this ink was like. Turns out, too pale for me. But thanks for the review (my wallet ALSO says thank you, BTW).

The review says that the saturation is "very good," but the images don't seem to support that claim.

[miel]

Yes - for me this is not a very saturated ink.

I love the pale color and the shading.

[inkstainedruth]

Oh don't get me wrong, miel -- it's a lovely color. But too light for me to be legible on the page.
