Lamy: Red


ImCannibal

Recommended Posts

My favorite color is red/black and this ink was a little disappointing when it turned out to be basically pink. It writes well out of a stub nib, decent lubrication, no issues with it drying in the pen at all.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Thanks for helping me out! I post on here from my phone so it's a bit of a pain resizing my images

I love your quotes, especially the first two ;). (Though Nietzsche wasn't any slouch in the quotables department, either.) And thank you for posting the picture. It really does look like the red isn't dark enough to warrant the name but is, disappointingly, a strawberry.

I bought a package of Lamy Red cartridges just to try out the color.

 

Lamy Red is indeed very light and strawberry-pinkish. I'm not fond of the color, but I do have to admit it is a good annotation color for note-taking.

This was one of the few locally available inks, which contributed to keeping me away from fountain pens as it looked pink... But with more experience I can attest that with the right pen, with a wet nib, it can indeed look red. I already have Diamine Poppy Red so I have no use for it.

      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
