Ugh, I hope we get this in the Philippines. Bookstores in the PH are ridiculously conservative with their ink selection. :unsure:

Thanks for the review. I had heard this ink was coming and was curious about the color. I'll be on the lookout for some.

I'm still trying to figure out how to list all my pens down here.

From a shop in Sweden.

 

I'm not entirely sure why Mishka5050 edited his post, but the shop he originally had in there looks as though it ships Coral Ink Bottles to the UK for 130Kr (£10ish)

Lamy carts fit in my Parker 45 with a little extra push. :)

 

The bottles of this have arrived here in Korea and are surprisingly affordable. 50ml bottles.

 

I am not a big fan of Lamy ink and this is the first time that I have had reason to be excited about one of their new colors. I tried the ink in the tester in the store and it's a winner. So a bottle came home with me.

 

Tragically no empty pen to put it in yet but the next pen that goes empty is getting this ink in it. I dig this color. I heard that it was a little tacky (a peeve of mine) but we will see. I liked the color a lot. With apologies, I found it way better to the naked eye than in your scan.

 

 

 

No they do not.

 

 

 

There's anecdotal evidence on here of people using Parker converters in Lamys, and Lamy cartridges in Parker pens. As I said before though, not something I've tried myself.

Thanks for the information re: Parker cartridges in Lamy pens. I was unaware of this possibility and was

holding the "party line" about "proprietary cartridges".

I have been in contact with my local ink suppliers, they have heard back from Lamy in Germany that Copper Orange will not be on sale in Europe in bottles, but will be around rest of the world.

 

I have just written a complaint email to Lamy and I would advise all my fellow Europeans to do the same.

Do Lamy have an explanition to why it will not be possible to buy in Europe?

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast. 
    • Ceilidh
      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
