Lamy Green Review

[madeyouink]

Ink: Lamy Green

Pens Used: Jinhao x750 ( and Lamy Safari (M)

Paper: Georgia Pacific Premium Bright Paper (90g/m^2)

This ink is a very nice green, and there is almost no feathering. It has an above average dry time, being almost completely dry around five seconds. I love the package this ink comes in, the nice bottle with the nib blotting paper on the bottom. This is a great standard green, and it is almost the exact shade of green that comes to mind when I think of a green ink. Good flow out of the pen, and almost no bleed through. The ink doesn’t smear, probably due to the great dry time. The lubrication and shading were well below average however, bringing this inks rating down.

On the chemical test, the ink average. It held up very well against the drip test, but the bleach test removed all of the ink. On the dip test, the majority of the ink is gone, but you can still read what was written on the page beforehand.

Thanks, a nice green, "better" than I thought. I don't yet have it but will remedy that soon.

Green is my favorite color and I really wanted to like this because the bottle/price is great but I just couldn't. It's just boring. I can't really explain it better than that. There are so many greens out there and at the end of the day I traded my full, very nifty bottle when Organics Studio was doing their trade. I don't miss it. You can say anything you want about Organics Studio but their bottles are not nifty and their inks are not boring!

 

Thanks for the review.

I agree with Jenks, it is not the most exciting shade of green for me either, but I think it's a good "basic" green for those looking for a common green colour.
And it handles itself particularly well in my opinion, apart from the sadly less than amusing lubrication.

Well, I guess there's an ink for everyone, but this one isn't for me. I bought a bottle of it years ago, on sale, before there were any ink comparisons on the internet. It's quite dry, and a very european green, not much to my liking. I've used it in mixes with other inks.
