In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink has a lot of sheen.

Let's take a look at how the ink behaves on fountain pen friendly papers: Rhodia, Tomoe River, and Leuchtturm.

Water resistance: Low

Longer writing:

I used a TWSBI Eco Transparent Purple with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma A5 notebook. The ink had a wet, slightly sticky flow.

Overall, I love the dusky purple color and it’s pretty well behaved, but the flow does feel just a bit sticky. I didn’t have any smearing issues with this ink!
