Longer writing:

I used a TWSBI Eco Transparent Blue with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had a wet but sticky flow. This ink does smear after completely drying.

Overall, while it is generally well behaved during writing, it can be smeared days after completely drying which has become a pet peeve of mine. Anything that smears days later is a no-go for me.
