INK REVIEWS

Lamy

Colours:Blue, Black, Blue-Black, Turquoise

Lamy InkThe bottle is a plus. Some of the bottles have a small roll of blotter that rolls off the bottom. Nice touch. While I found the blue to be a bit light in tone, the turquoise and black I found to be good inks.

I have used the ink off-and-on over the years.

  • Blue - weak in colour, similar to the Waterman Florida Blue but a little pale when compared.
  • Turquoise - I gave a bottle to a friend and she raved about it as one of the best she has used. It has a nice rich tone.
  • Black - good saturated colour, very close to Aurora but not as black, and generally rated as a very good black. Slower ink flow than Aurora. Recently I have heard that the ink sometimes dries with a bit of yellow tone to it.
