Longer writing:

I used a Franklin Christoph 45L Italian ice with a medium nib on a Taroko Breeze notebook. The ink had a dry flow.

Overall, this ink is too pale and dry for me. I love the color in the Col-o-ring swab but in longer writing I wish it was a little bit darker and wetter. It’s just not for me.
