    • The ink itself is nice; it has skipped on occasion, but it writes smoothly overall.
    • Not at all happy with the product I received; ink was dry; had to prime the refills repeatedly to get them to work at all; noticed that the date on the refill was 2013; guessing these were sitting in the storeroom for quite awhile.
