Papier Plume: Heart of Gold

Papier Plume Heart of Gold is a pale red ink with a hint of orange. Honestly, I hate the color in everything but a wet nib – it’s like watered-down ketchup. The shading is great but it’s not enough to make up for the actual shade of the ink. The flow was maybe a touch dry in the dry writer. This ink was a backer reward for the Pay-it-Forward Kickstarter in 2018.

My bottle of this ink is for sale.
