Lamy Pink Ink

[JEBS98]

I recently found an old bag with a lot of Lamy cartridges. Among the various colors, there were several pink ink cartridges. When I tested them with a Lamy Logo, it turned out to be a pretty similar color to Lamy Vibrant Pink from 2018. However, this bag is a lot older than 2018, so there is no way these cartridges are Lamy Vibrant Ink (they are these old half-full cartridges Lamy usted to sell years ago). Does anyone remember a Lamy pink ink different and older than Lamy Vibrant Pink?

The ink probably has evaporated quite a bit, which would make the ink write much more saturated a color.

Not that long ago a very similar question came up on the german Penexchange forum: someone found a pack of old Lamy cartridges in rose/pinkish color - way too old to be Vibrant Pink or Neon Coral (-> still W.-Germany).

 

After some forum discussion he decided to write to Lamy and ask them about the ink. Lamy confirmed it's an ink simply called "Pink" that was sold from mid 80s to early 90s. 

 

Here's a link to the thread:

Don't know if you understand German, but maybe you can use Google translate or at least look at the pictures 😉

Thank you so much! When seeing the pictures, I immediately remembered having seen a similar pack of cartridges as a child. I guess my mother must have bought them around 1993. They are almost 30 years old.

This is how it writes on a Lamy Logo with a fine nib.
