I didn't love doing a lot of writing on the small pages, but it was good enough for trips where I didn't want or need to be carrying a large notebook.
The paper quality on the inserts I used was great. ( Disclaimer: Brad purchased this ink at regular price from Anderillium Ink at the 2023 DCPen Show.)Īs a notebook: Pretty good. They can be purchased directly from Anderillium Inks or from authorized resellers like Amarillo Stationery and The Gentleman Stationer. As I also said with the Cephalopod series, I would have liked to have seen a purple ink in this set.Īnderillium inks sell for $14.50 per 1.5 ounce bottle, or $50 for 0.5 ounce bottles of all 8 inks. I do think the inks are fairly “straight forward”, compared to chromashading, shimmer or sheening inks and nothing jumped out as a particularly wild or different color (Tolype Moth Warm might be an exception). I think the colors are nice and they are worth the purchase if you don’t already have similarly colored inks. If I had to pick favorites in the bunch, they would be Adonis Butterfly Blue because it’s such a lovely muted blue and Tolype Moth Warm because I am now obsessed with finding the perfect pen/nib for it (the Lamy Vista definitely was not it, lol). So, before you judge an ink too harshly for being too dry or too wet, etc, consider trying it in a different pen/nib and give it another chance! This is more due to the Lamy Vista (and Safari/AL-Stars, etc) being a drier writer than the TWSBI Go (which is a spring-loaded piston filler). This was a great reminder that the pen & ink (and paper) combination really makes a difference, not just in the color & saturation of the ink but also in the writing experience. All in all, the inks behaved well, though some felt much drier in the Lamy Vista.
