Cp1 Caps Are Good!

I just pulled out my Deutsche Telekom CP1 that has been sitting in a draw since March. It was inked with an old Lamy cartridge filled with Diamine Bilberry.

 

Expecting it to contain nothing but purple ink dust by now I tried writing with it. It worked the first time - not even a hard start nor shake nor moistening of the nib was required. It wrote as if it were freshly filled. I checked the cartridge - about 5-10% ink evaporation in 7 months.

 

Now that is a cap seal!

Wish they used that seal on the Aion. It's a well-designed pen.

CP1 cap does have a, surprisingly, good seal. Mine is for diary duties as it is too slim for an EDC.

@1nkulus, if you carry your pen-loop equipped journal daily, then the Lamy CP1 is just right for an EDC pen.

You almost got me, but I always remember to leave the journal at home in my study along with the CP1.

With all the pens on the loose, I had to create a use for the CP1 else it would have been forgotten.

One of the most underrated pens. it posts well (snap post) it's wonderfully balanced. and I've found it to be incredibly durable. It's really the only lamy that uses the z50 nib that I actually think is worth the money.

Its posts like this that make this forum so dangerous, haha. I love the simple beauty of this pen. Now you are telling me the cap is this effective??? Shut up and take my money and all that.
