Pelikan 4001 Brilliant Green

[Azura]

Is 4001 Brilliant Green a wetter ink than 4001 Turquoise?

 

I tried 4001 Turquoise in my Lamy Vista "F" and it turned out that I had to periodically flood the feed just to get it to write 3 - 5 lines from dark-to-light-to-nothing. After 2 days of frustration with that pen-nib-ink combo I admitted defeat and dumped the 4001 Turquoise out of the Lamy. Very disappointed as I love the color and its shading characteristic in my M200.

 

I had thought that the Lamy Joy was equipped with the same nib and feed system as the Lamy Safari/Vista. Or does the "Joy" come with a different feed?

pelikan green is quite a dry ink, comparable to its blue-black, while turquoise is the most wet ink among the 4001 range.

Thanks Azura, this is exactly the info I was looking for! Guess I won't be filling my Vista with any more 4001 inks.

 

Since my first post to this thread I've read that the Safari is generally a very dry pen, and many people end up hacking the feed.

 

Peter, did you hack the feed on your Joy, or has it been a gusher since it was new?

 

Or are Lamy Joys usually always gushers?
