As I plug my last cartridge of Lamy Copper Orange into my Al-Star, I start to consider replacements. So I have to ask: which inks the network believes are good look-alikes for Lamy Copper Orange? Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions!

I have been looking for Lmay AlStar Copper Orange for ages now. Can someone guide me from where to purchase the same.???

This is an informal review of Lamy Copper Orange and is my first foray into ink reviewing. I was only able to get this in cartridges as the bottled ink hasn't arrived here yet. Just in case you can't read the text in the photo: Lamy Copper Orange in a Lamy Safari with a 1.1 stub. (I'm afraid I didn't complete the water test yet - I can add that in later). The paper used in the photo was 120gsm copy paper, It was good on an index card and other cheap papers and had a 'flatness' and strange opacity I've noted with other Lamy inks on Tomoe River paper. Feathering: Nope Bleed: Nope Sheen: Nope Shading: a teeny weeny bit Show through: Nope I'm quite keen on orange inks and have a few. This has a nice brightness to it without being retina searing and it is quite easy to read n large blocks of text. It is a good vivid colour with a very slight red and brownish note to it. It takes on a more interesting appearance as it dries and exhibits some shading, but nothing massive. It's quite a wet ink, lubrication seems good and I will definitely pick up a bottle when it arrives on these shores.

My new Lamy Al-Star Copper Orange is awesome. I've owned two Safaris and never really liked the plastic feel of them. This is my first Al-Star and it's great. The ink's not bad too - still not quite as good as Cult Pens Deep Dark Orange, which is my all-time favourite orange, but this is a close second. Also, I have a new scanner. I think it's a bit sharper than the last one. http://i.imgur.com/I2qaL6g.jpg
