Longer writing:

I used a Franklin-Christoph 46 Diamondcast Green with a broad nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had a dry flow and really struggled to keep up with the broad nib. I had to prime the nib to finish out the last paragraph.

Overall, the color is nice and it dries quickly, but it’s too dry for me. It could benefit from a drop of ink additive.
