At least on my monitor and to my eyes, it reminds me a lot of the Montblanc Turquoise that my brother is partial to.

Close but The Lamy is much darker compared to the MB but with scanning in stuff, you loose a few shades here and there. I love both of the inks!!

Hi,

 

How does it compare to Pelikan. All I know is that Pelikan is Dark turquiose.

I'm also trying to straighten out all of the turquoises. The lamy, so I've read, is darker than MB, yet lighter than Waterman SS Blue. I wish that we could have a universal side by side sampling archive...any help sorting this out would be great.

This is the benchmark turquoise colour, IMO, and the bottle is very cool, as well.

Yeah....I'm not sure. I just switched from Lamy turq to Waterman in one of my pens, and the Waterman SSB is coming out lighter. BUT, that could well be a function of the Lamy being in the pen longer, and the Waterman being "fresh". I think turquoise is particularly susceptible to colour shifts in the pen as the ink slowly evaporates. Probably even more so in a piston filler with large capacity - it hangs around that much longer.

I've got all three... and a camera. I make no promises, but I'll see if I can find time this weekend with some Q-Tips. :)

My friend has Lamy Turquoise in her M-nib Safari... it is considerably darker than that picture is showing up on my monitor. I'd say that the Lamy Turqoise is very similar to but slightly lighter than Noodler's Navajo Turquoise.

Pens, in order of acquisition: Lamy Vista EF, Duke... something, with a zoom nib of sorts, Parker 45 F, Orange Lamy Safari F, Red Lamy ABC, Sheaffer Viewpoint Calligraphy pen (cheap)

recently acquired a Lamy Blue Al-Star with some turquoise cartridges. I'm finding this color to be quite interesting, but also finding it slightly waterproof--spilled a bit of water on the writing and it was still legible after the water dried.

 

Anyone else experience this, or was I just lucky??

My Lamy blue-black color is also slightly waterproof. After spilling some water it ran slightly, but the writing was still very legible.

Thought that I would update this with another scan (compared with a couple of the other funkier blues).

I purchased a bottle of Lamy Turquoise last summer at 50% off retail. It's a true-looking turquoise and well behaved. I don't use turquoise that much but for $3.25 how could I go wrong? My nieces will like using it in their Pelikano Juniors and Preppys! I also use it to mix with Lamy Blue & Lamy Black to create various blues and blue-blacks.

Thank you Number.

 

Being able to read helps.....

 

What nib and flex were you using? Nib and pen said...flex not....and that matters less than I thought.

 

No.....what paper were you using? Rhonda paper.

 

I just tried my OB and OF semi-flex, and medium normal, on my normal papers and no shading like yours.

 

I tried it on a good notebook some one sent me, and I get shading in OF, OB and in normal medium, get shading.

I had never had any real good paper before, and did not know the ink shaded.

 

Now I have to go out and buy some good paper before I buy any more ink.....

 

Very good paper makes such a big difference. Makes a nice colored blaa into nice color interesting.

 

I am now of to the Paper section....

This is a pretty color, with not very much tonal shading but not a typical, in-your-face blue. Love the bottle.

I am not smart enough or know enough to write a review of an ink, but I really, really LOVE Lamy Turquoise ink! I have it in my Parker 51 Special and my Mont Blanc 146, and I use both pens on most days. Really love the ink! (and the bottle too) C. S.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
