Lamy Pacific Blue Le Ink 2017

I would love to see a swab of it... To hard to tell just by the color on the box or cap. Might be close, might not.

Has this ink been seen in the wild yet? I'd love to know what it looks like on paper.

Probably not until spring.

As a fan of Lamy's standard turquoise (the swatch in my avatar), I'm really curious how this Pacific Blue LE compares. I really need to see this one on paper first.

I ordered cartridges in the Lamy shop. Shipment begins on 6th of February.

I don't mind the pen color, could work well with Ama Iro or Navajo Turquoise. I'll pass on the ink though. The Safari color looks interesting the the ink will probably be right up my alley.

I'm hoping the LE ink follows the Vista, not the AL Star, as last year as I'm looking forwards to their Petrol variation of teal.

Yeah, I would have preferred the Petrol Blue color...

Yes, and Petrol Blue would have been a truly unique color in their ink lineup. I'm not convinced Ocean Blue is going to look that much different from their standard Turquoise.

I do like the ideas of cinnamon and nutmeg offered by Visvamitra, But if the color is similar to the old Waterman South Sea Blue, I'd be interested.

 

I'd like a brown Safari some day, almost any shade of brown would do. And if they can bring back apple green and pink and add them to the regular lineup, why not the original green and orange ones?

Lamy Pacific Ink And Lamy Turquoise will be exactly the same according to Lamy:

 

"There is a LAMY AL-star pacific ink available in a special edition packaging, but the colour is in fact identical to our standard turquoise ink. We hope we could help you 1f642.png Best wishes, your Lamy team"

Yikes. If they can't come up with an original ink it's ok, but rebranding a regular one and making it "LE"...

At least they're honest about it.

Sounds like they've done a Waterman - see "Blue Obsession" ink, which I gather is simply Serenity Blue with a different label. As long as it is made clear and they're not trying to make mugs of their customers, then, well, fair enough, I suppose.

Not exactly what most of us have in mind when it comes to the definition of "limited edition"... :huh:

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
