Lamy - Copper Orange

Recommended Posts

Lamy - Copper Orange was released some time ago in 2015 as a part of the Copper Orange Special Edition Lamy Al-Star fountain pen. I have reviewed all of the standard line of Lamy inks on my blog earlier this year, but with this particular colour I catch up recently thanks to Mishka from BureauDirect, UK (thanks) who sent me a box of sample cartridges. Despite the fact that this is a special edition ink and sooner or later it will extinct, but it is still available here and there, so I decided to test it my way because I found it very interesting.

The colour of Lamy - Copper Orange is as name says - orange which is not that bright as Diamine Pumpkin but more like Diamine Autumn Oak, J. Herbin – Orange Indien or Kaweco Sunrise orange. Is much lighter than Diamine Ancient Copper. Because it has yellow component there is some similarities to a famous Noodler's Apache Sunset, however Noodler's ink has much more of yellow which is resulting in superb shading. Lamy's ink shaded too, but obviously less than Apache Sunset, which for many is a benchmark, I believe.

The cool thing about Lamy Copper Orange, which separates it out from the orange crowd is the way it shines once it dries completely. The ink has an interesting light green/yellow-gold sheen but also something which reminiscences suspended tiny particles which mimic metallic feel. This is not exactly the same thing as you have seen in Diamine Shimmering inks. The effect is more subtle and it results in rusty look, which I really enjoy.

 

Here are some examples. For much more please check my short review on my blog . Enjoy!

Nice review. Thanks! I really like this ink and bought it when it came out a good year ago. Unfortunately (here in the home grounds of Lamy) it is/was only available in cartridges. IIRC it was in fact also sold in bottles but only in the States and in Japan. Oh well, that's Lamy....

Only orange I've ever liked, glad I was able to get a bottle.

      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
