Lamy Bottled Green Written Review

[Mafia Geek]

Here's a scan of my written review of Lamy's Bottled Green ink. Not a bad green ink, a little light in saturation, but very well behaved and easy to clean. Would make for a very good ink to use for reviewing something for someone, stands out but doesn't have the negative connotation of red ink.

 

 

Here's the water test. For this I wrote on a small Rhodia pad and after letting the ink dry for a few minutes ran it under water for a few seconds. Stood up as well as I was expecting, a little bit of water and it would still be readable, but it will wash out fully with enough water.

Hi,

 

Thanks for your Review!

This is a sample I just made. It's very challenging to get the colors matched. The green is a little too blue, but the white Rhodia is a little too yellow, so this is a compromise as best I can do crudely.

 

Mine came out darker, and with shading! Just goes to show, there are all sorts of variables at work here.

 

I love this ink. It comes in the coolest bottle ever, with a well for the nib to submerge when the supply runs low, and a base with a reel of blotter paper -- all for a great low price.

 

I'm hooked!

Thanks for this review. I am planning to buy a bottle of lamy green ink.

I really liked the doodle. I've held off buying Lamy because they aren't as saturated as I prefer my inks, but I like the clear crisp color you presented. Thank you for the review.

Well, that last sample by Duane was a big surprise.

 

I did a 8 ink green ink test on a Gmund sample pack, Original, Blanc Beige in cream in both 120 and 170 g...the paper also come in white and beige. Also some of my Southworth papers. 8 inks on 11 papers.

 

Lamy green was 'too' light...but tastes end...I do after all own some 11 green inks. Including DA's Moss green a spring moss color.

 

Lamy ended up tied for last with Diamine Green Meadow. There was one paper where it finished third!!!!! out of the 8 inks beating Pelikan Aventurine.

The winning inks were....R&K Vedura a tad ahead of MB Green and Pelikan 4001 a solid third.

 

What I did notice later, was Lamy Green leaves a very sharp clean line, best of the inks tested.

 

Now that I looked for it, there was some shading in Lamy Green. I had not noticed it because of it's faintness.

I buy mostly shading inks.

 

It was in a Lamy CPM-1 in a B nib...all I have in Lamy cartridge pens is a B-M CI Persona and a 1.5 Joy.

Perhaps I'll turn the next cartridge over and put it in my Pelikan hard semi-flex Celebry F or regular flex Parker 45 M to see if it shows up better there. I'm cartridge pen deficient.

 

I do only have it in Cartridges, so perhaps there is a difference. If the bottle is darker than cartridge please let me know....I'm not a snob, I do like cheap inks too.

Like Pelikan 4001 Green.
