 Function of flow.   If your nib puts down a consistent generous flow then ink will look darker, in the general view.   Tried it in a William Mitchell #2 roundhand square nib.  That is a sharp cut dip nib with a reservoir.  Once past the initial overflow darkness, tokiwa-matsu does show good shading.   

Indeed.
I believe this ink is better for drier flex pens than I own and use.
I will hang onto it, but will see if it performs better in a regular fountain pen.
Of course...that means I get to buy a regular fountain pen...hehehehe...
I've had my eye on a "Genesis pens - Norsemen" pen for a while...maybe that will be the lucky candidate...if I can get the wife to agree. 😜
