I found that this ink had an average, slightly dry flow. The glitter was not evenly distributed which makes me wonder if my feed had been clogged. Additionally, I felt that the color and glitter blended in together and didn’t stand out.

Overall: This ink doesn’t quite do it for me as the color is slightly off-putting.
