Longer writing:

I used a Pelikan M600 Vibrant Green with a broad nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had a super dry flow.

Overall, like other Kyoto inks I like this ink best in a wet broad nib. It’s very dry and could benefit from a drop of White Lighting, it’s a lovely bright color though.
