In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink has a little bit of shading.

Longer writing:

I used a Pelikan M605 White Transparent with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had a dry flow.

Overall, I love the color of this ink. It’s much bluer than the other grey inks I have, but it is a bit dry for me.
