This is just a brief written review of Lamy Turquoise. I didn't do anything fancy since I'm new to this and it was mostly just for me anyway.

The color is fairly accurate. I think there is just a touch more green and the scan doesn't show off the intensity of this ink.

Hello,

 

Many thanks for the Review! :thumbup:

 

And such a fair hand too!

 

You are so correct about the ink's change in appearance with different nibs. Even with such 'normal' nibs that is a significant change.

 

Please tell us the paper that was used.

 

Bye,

Sandy1

Thanks for all the compliments on my handwriting. Since joining this forum, I've seen some amazing handwriting. One of these days I'm gonna learn italic. I found out about it on here and it just looks so pretty.

I bought a bottle of Lamy Turquoise a while back and am very pleased with it. It is very close to my all-time number one favorite, Sheaffer Scrip Peacock Blue from waaaay back. Still wish I could find a full vintage bottle of my old favorite but in the meantime, my Lamy Turquoise will do just fine.

When as noobie, I first started using Lamy Turquoise on regular 80 gs/m copy paper I'd not noticed any shading.

I'd not known it was a shading ink.

When I looked in ink review both reviews showed shading.

 

I had a small Oxford Optic notebook, a good 90 gs/m paper. I tried the single pen I had it in on that paper and it shaded. :notworthy1: :thumbup: :clap1: :cloud9: :vbg:

 

One has to have a spectrum of nibs and a few papers to check out an ink.

 

It makes a big difference.

Beautiful handwriting and a useful review. So much so, that I will buy some. It is close to what I am looking for and what I call Teal. I hope they have it in a bottle.

The shading is remarkable.

+1 :thumbup: Great to hear from someone else who also adored Peacock Blue Skrip! (nostalgia sets in...) But as you say, the Lamy Turquoise is a very good contemporary alternative :thumbup:

I just noticed how terribly expensive five cartridges were. I buy bottles and didn't check the German price on cartridges when I was at the pen and ink stand at a local store.

 

A bottle in Germany cost @ € 3.50-3.75...or $5.00.

In the US, a 50ml bottle is about $7.50. Compared to many other inks, that's a very reasonable price for such a pretty ink. I use it sometimes in a wet writing stub and love it.

I recently bought this ink and what you said about shading is true. Also, the first time I wrote with it, it felt like the ink was too diluted and seemed too light. Now I know it's because of the paper I used.

 

I truly admire the color of this particular ink. So pretty..:D Fits perfectly with my Lamy Aquamarine Safari..:D

      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
