I talk about Papier Plume limited edition inks often and how much I love them, but they do actually have a standard lineup, one of which is Papier Plume Pecan. Thanks to Papier Plume for sending this ink over for review!

In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink has more shading.

I used a Pelikan M200 Gold Marbled with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had an average flow.

Overall, this is a lovely, well-behaved ink. It’s a perfect color for fall, and is at a great price point too (30ml/$8)!
