Silk is fine with any printer as long as you don't expect it to print like regular PLA. Silk likes it slow and hot. Can't just pound it out like regular filament.
That depends on your expectations and your model. Sometimes you have to slow down the outer wall to 100, or slower, to get a lot more shine. Try default silk settings, and if it's not to your liking, adjust. This is how 3D printing works.

For me as well. That's the bundle I wanted. Oh well.

I've also used a ton of Sunlu regular PLA, PLA+, and more recently the PLA+2.0. I just run all of them with the Standard Bambu Lab PLA Basic profile. I've tested the generic profile, and even custom profiles, but the stock Bambu PLA Basic profile works just as good as anything else for me.
I had such good results with the PLA+2.0 that when they finally had most of the colors in stock on their website, I ordered 10kg in various colors. With a small discount they came out to under $14/spool with free shipping, which was surprisingly quick as well.
I am literally midway through this entire set right now, bought it at this price about 3 weeks ago. In general I'm sorta meh on Sunlu (I usually prefer Elegoo & eSun) but this set has been a pleasant surprise! Nicely wound, prints really smoothly, and I compared the Gold to a Jayo I have and it came out identical. Wouldn't hesitate recommending it wholeheartedly.
One important note, they look good, especially the red, but be aware the blue is a bit lighter than I was expecting. Definitely more on the sky blue end of the spectrum.
If you want the best results, slow down the outer layers (first, top, outside) to 30 m/s. Makes the print longer but you'll get that shininess. Happy printing!
