Lamy Blue

Not Lamy! But you're close geographically!

Close as in...it's made by a German owned company? It's made in Germany? Or it's made a few blocks down the street from Lamy?

No, it's not. I won't tell you were it is made, otherwise I might as well give you the name...

You're NOT! Brilliant!

[mizgeorge]

I am, I should have got it from the lovely little teacup!! Not to mention the fact that it's an ink I use daily.

I actually have one ready - I just need to scan it... Back as soon as I've finished the supermarket delivery shop!

So,
Here is a dark pink (and it is a dark pink rather than any of the 'wine' colours). It's not a hard one at all for a change - but just happened to be what I'd filled a new (to me) pen with this afternoon.

photographed under artificial light with adjusted white balance - there is a slight pink cast on this!

Paper is Oxford Optik rather than anything too fancy - this is a wet ink and prefers a slightly less smooth surface.

(and at least we shall eat for the next week or so!)

Looking forward to your sample
