I'm developing a distinct dislike of the Lamy blue cartridges that come with their pens.
The three I've used so far with B & 1.5 italic nibs have been less than exquisite writing experiences which I feel doesn't do the brand any favours at all.
All so far have been prone to skipping and seem unable to keep up with writing at a reasonable speed especially on long downstrokes. The ink appears to have a dry sort of flow. Maybe it is better suited to thinner nibs as it feels better using this B upside-down.
It will be interesting to compare the blue to the black Lamy cartridges that came with some pens from Malaysia.
Here is a sample scanned from a Rhodia grid pad, the grid seems to lend a slight purpleness to the ink. You can also see how the ink on some downstrokes separates onto the tines of the B nib. It also writes better on my cheapo OfficeMax notepad paper at work. Could be a bit of a dodgey B nib. My other B writes fine with Noodle's BSiAR.
