Lamy Safari Cartridge Compatibility


W4DM

Recommended Posts

I just read from the site. The line on fountain pens in flight was interesting

While "shampoo" bottles are made for squeezing, ink cartidges are not.

Squeeze at your own risk. Cartridges are riggid and somewhat brittle. If

you squeeze and crack it, a whole different world of "inflight' problems come.

Hi

 

At the moment I am using Parker Short cartridges in my Al-Star, and would guess the standard Parker Cartridges would also fit fine.

Lamy and Parker are virtually interchangeable with Parker being ever so slightly wider.

 

I have a Lamy converter in my Parker IM at the minute, fits great.

I have a Studio, not an Al-Star, so this may not apply, but I have found that while long Parker cartridges will 'mate' to the Studio, and can be written with fine, they are slightly longer than Lamy cartridges, and prevent the Studio barrel being crewed back on.

I got some Lamy compatible cartridges that fit perfect . They are from “pen savings “ I ordered them on Amazon and I got a burgundy colored one that worked great. I did however seitch to a converter because of the larger selection of ink colors for bottled ink

      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
