Longer writing:

I used a Sailor Pro Gear Sparkling Pink with a broad nib on a Taroko Odyssey notebook. The ink had an average flow.

Overall, it’s a nice bright spring pink. I like the rose gold shimmer, which is a bit unusual. The only other ink I’ve tried with rose gold shimmer is Robert Oster Blood Rose and Schwartz Rose. This ink does have a lot of shimmer so I did have a few clogs with the smaller nib sizes but it did fine in a wet broad nib.
