Ink is pretty good, but I already like EnerGel refills, which is why I bought this pen, hoping for a nice pen to use with the EnerGels.

It is reasonable for cost and glides smoothly across the page with a nice, steady ink flow

But the pen tends to leak ink out of no where

It looks great and feels great in your hand, the ink lays down nice and black, but like another pen I have just like this in a different color, it tends to stick while writing, making a weird scratching sound and throwing off my rhythm, which unfortunately makes my handwriting look sloppy

Nice even ink flow

That said there's times I have wished for a precise rollerball in spite of the fact I drain ink of these kind faster.

In the years I’ve been using these pens, the ink ALWAYS delivers a constant, smooth flow of ink that never skips or leaves clots … reliable ink delivery will make or break any pen, in my opinion

The weight is perfect, the ink is smooth (no feathering) and it doesn't bleed unlike the fountain pen I used to use (PILOT "Elite 95s / Deep

The ink is bold, and perfectly smudge free every time

The ink skipped and smudged terribly
