Lamy Dark Lilac Bleedthrough

I haven't found an ink before now that bleeds through Tomoe River paper in a fine nib, but Lamy Dark Lilac does! It bled through the sheet and onto the next ones, staining the one underneath with splotchy purple.

 

Has anyone else noticed this or is it just me? I'm really considering selling at least my back up bottle, if not both bottles. I use Tomoe River paper 99% of the time, and I don't think I'll get much use out of an ink that bleeds through TR paper in a FINE NIB. Yeesh.

 

 

Admittedly I haven't been looking avidly for topics on this information, so perhaps this has been talked about before? My apologies if it has.

I used DL in its matching Safari with medium nib earlier this week in my pocket Goulet notebook without issue. That's very strange that you had that issue with a fine nib!

No, no bleeding or feathering any worse than other Lamy colours - they're all pretty well behaved & better than average imho.

 

Been playing around adding water reconstituting it in various pens that have dried down, then maybe it does feather a tad more than an undiluted fresh fill. Nothing so bad as to soak thru 3 sheets though.

 

What's the ambient humidity there & how's your paper stored? Copypaper lying on my concrete floor is a lot damper than a fresh sheet straight out of sealed packet, ink takes longer to dry.

Hope you didn't get some of that "alternate" TR paper.

I tend to use wet pens in M, B and Stub and no bleedthrough on TR paper with Lamy Dark Lilac. I have a feeling I had a spot or 2 bleed through when I lef the nib resting on the paper while I was day dreaming.

I only had it bleed through when I was doing my insane doodles. I'm sorry to hear this.

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

that's very black!

 

When my Dark Lilac pen looked like that I started adding water. :)

      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
