(This was penned with one of the inexpensive, high performance flex pens I am working on. If this kind of thing interests you, send me a PM, or fill out my poll.) I've always loved this ink for its performance on cheap, thin papers, and for its bright pink sheen. Shading requires a sensitive flex nib, or some kind of broad or italic. I'll say this: I frequently fight with myself over the use of this ink, mainly, not to use it all the time. It's too special to me. But then again, man lebt nur einmal. (One lives but once...)
