A Santini superflexy nib is not all that flexy, you are right, but it is still an extremely pleasant, reliable and bouncy nib which gives nice line variation.

Just a little suggestion to Lamy 2000 users who find a bit of difficulty with the nib’s “sweet spot.” The Oblique Medium (OM), Oblique Broad (OB), and Oblique Double Broad (OBB) all write beautifully and do not seem nearly as critical as the traditional nibs regarding the “sweet spot.”

Thank you very much! This ink is gorgeous, really. When left in a cheap pen, the ink turns blue overnight, but straight out of the bottle it's fantastic. Yeah, it did not work well with the dip nib, but in a fine muft pen (one of the ones you can get added to your order for free from FPR if you know the ones) it flowed just fine. Perhaps my zebra nib here wasn't cleaned well enough or something.
