This ink had an average, even flow. I was informed that the ink itself has a high potential for staining (but thankfully did not experience any on my hands, notebook, etc).
Overall: This is a austere deep red with fantastic sheen. I thought it performed very well and would recommend purchasing a sample! The color suits the winter months perfectly.
