Lamy Turquoise

[bridgettt]

This is just a brief written review of Lamy Turquoise. I didn't do anything fancy since I'm new to this and it was mostly just for me anyway.

The color is fairly accurate. I think there is just a touch more green and the scan doesn't show off the intensity of this ink.

Very nice, thanks for sharing. Nice handwriting too.

Hello,

 

Many thanks for the Review!

 

And such a fair hand too!

 

You are so correct about the ink's change in appearance with different nibs. Even with such 'normal' nibs that is a significant change.

 

Please tell us the paper that was used.

 

Bye,

Sandy1

Oops! It's just a Rhodia staplebound tablet (No. 18 I think).

wow that is some nice shading in the last paragraph. I love that light and dark... stuff... effect... whatever.

Nice review. It appears to be the same ink as the bottle.

Great review. But it's the penmanship that has me in awe.

Thanks for all the compliments on my handwriting. Since joining this forum, I've seen some amazing handwriting. One of these days I'm gonna learn italic. I found out about it on here and it just looks so pretty.

Really lovely shading and wonderful handwriting. I think I'm in love with all turquoise inks!

That's a good review, and very nice handwriting. Thanks.

I bought a bottle of Lamy Turquoise a while back and am very pleased with it. It is very close to my all-time number one favorite, Sheaffer Scrip Peacock Blue from waaaay back. Still wish I could find a full vintage bottle of my old favorite but in the meantime, my Lamy Turquoise will do just fine.

When as noobie, I first started using Lamy Turquoise on regular 80 gs/m copy paper I'd not noticed any shading.

I'd not known it was a shading ink.

When I looked in ink review both reviews showed shading.

 

I had a small Oxford Optic notebook, a good 90 gs/m paper. I tried the single pen I had it in on that paper and it shaded. :clap1:

 

One has to have a spectrum of nibs and a few papers to check out an ink.

 

It makes a big difference.

Beautiful handwriting and a useful review. So much so, that I will buy some. It is close to what I am looking for and what I call Teal. I hope they have it in a bottle.

The shading is remarkable.

+1 Great to hear from someone else who also adored Peacock Blue Skrip! (nostalgia sets in...) But as you say, the Lamy Turquoise is a very good contemporary alternative

I just noticed how terribly expensive five cartridges were. I buy bottles and didn't check the German price on cartridges when I was at the pen and ink stand at a local store.

 

A bottle in Germany cost @ € 3.50-3.75...or $5.00.

In the US, a 50ml bottle is about $7.50. Compared to many other inks, that's a very reasonable price for such a pretty ink. I use it sometimes in a wet writing stub and love it.

I recently bought this ink and what you said about shading is true. Also, the first time I wrote with it, it felt like the ink was too diluted and seemed too light. Now I know it's because of the paper I used.

 

I truly admire the color of this particular ink. So pretty.. Fits perfectly with my Lamy Aquamarine Safari..
