What we liked

  • + Sepia tone gives an aged, historic look to invitations and certificates
  • + Manuscript is a long-standing calligraphy pen brand, so ink suits their nibs
  • + Softer than black, which looks elegant on cream and parchment paper

Trade-offs

  • - Sepia is a specialty shade, so you will still need black for everyday work
  • - Plan for some smudging with wet media, as it may not be waterproof
