Longer Writing:

I used a Pelikan M600 Turquoise White with a broad nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has an average flow.

Overall, I loved this ink’s writing experience in the Pelikan 600, but I had issues with the it smearing after it dried. Out of the sheeny blue inks, I prefer Diamine Maureen over this one.
