Ink Review #402 : Tono & Lims Living Coral

Happy New Year everyone! I hope 2021 brings everyone happiness, and will be posting a picture of my updated pen family very soon. Which ones made it? Which ones left the collection? All will be revealed soon!

As for today, I will be reviewing a bright summer ink, Living Coral.

Swabs:

This ink had no shading and no sheen. I thought it had low sheen (gold) but upon closer Inspection, realized that it was simply areas of oversaturation. The color is an orangey-pink and is a close match to Pelikan 4001 Brilliant Red.

Dry Time/Water Resistance:

I liked this color a lot. It had an average and smooth flow. The coral pops out on paper but is not overly saturated.

Overall: This is a fun coral ink to use in the summer.
