*For my swab cards I use a Col-o-ring by Skylab Letterpress, a medium Pilot Ishime and a Mabie Todd Swan.
Writing samples:
Let's take a look at how the ink behaves on fountain pen friendly papers: Rhodia, Tomoe River, and Leuchtturm.

Vintage Mabie Todd Swan (flex nib)
Taroko Enigma notebooks (68gsm TR)
Dry time: 30 seconds
Water resistance: Low
Feathering: None
Show through: Medium
Bleeding: None
Other properties: low shading, no sheen, and no shimmer.
On 20 lb copy paper the ink had some feathering and bleeding in the larger nib sizes.

Longer Writing:
I used a TWSBI Eco Yellow with a broad nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has a dry flow.
Overall, this is a lovely yellow. It can be too light in the smaller nib sizes so I would stick to medium and broad nibs.
