This ink writes well in all my pens that range from Fine to Broad nibs (Lamy's, Pilots, Twsbi). It's a little on the wet side, but that's okay. Colors are nice, and cleaning isn't an issue with this ink. I've purchased these inks twice through MD. The only reason for 4 stars is it's not a permanent ink at all. But it never claims to be a permanent ink either. I'm happy with it over all though. Hope this helps.
DSpaceNineMy "permanent" ink talks about how resistant it is to water after drying. Some hold up better, or worse. This ink however doesn't hold up to moisture. The link provided demonstrates this;

Over all I do enjoy this ink, as the colors are vibrant and bold. I have the Blue Black, Carnival Red, Blue Velvet, and Blood Orange (not shown in test). I mainly use this ink for D&D stories I write. I also provide fountain pens for my players to add to the theater of the game. The inks make it a little more interesting since the colors do pop. But if you are planning on using this for school notes, or signing checks, then you'd probably want a more water proof/resistant ink, or a security ink.
Flows very well. I've used it with a Diplomat Esteem (fine) and a TWSBI mini 1.1 stub and it works well in both pens. I got Blood orange and Dark Forest. The colors look very pretty. Price is good. I guess the only downside is that they aren't water resistant, so they bleed if you spill a drink on them. That shouldn't be too much of an issue because you can't use these colors for official documents and it's not very hard to keep your drink away from your notebook.
There's nothing bad I can say about this ink. It's beautiful and it comes out of even my cheap pilot kakuno no problem. I'm using it for pen illustrations to spice up the lines. It would probably also be excellent for washes or brushwork though I haven't tried those yet. Highly highly recommended.
These inks I've bought over and over. They are some of the best "no frills" inks I own and they come in great colors! They don't gunk up and they dry quickly (I'm a lefthanded person, so that's saying something).
The saturation and the hues are on the spot. They are also enough lubricated to be sure that they won't cause any feed problems in the future. Just make sure to use good quality paper so you can enjoy these ink properties.
Got Golden Honey and Blood Orange in this drop, both fun colors but generally hard to see on most paper due to the colors I got. The bottles also line up and are great to look at.
Purchased Purple Dream and Blood Orange nice shade of inks I did not have. Work well, good lubrication and dry quickly. Able to get some shading depending on the fountain pen you use and the amount of ink flow they provide. Overall very pleased with this drop.
