Brand New Lamy Al-Star Blue W/broad Nib: Starting Problems - Looking For Advice
RejectH0 posted a topic in Fountain & Dip Pens - First Stop
Hello, Pen Friends! I'm new to the community, having just bought my first Lamy Safari just two weeks ago. The hobby has bit me hard because I received my Lamy Al-Star Blue w/Broad nib today. I'm still waiting for the converter to arrive, so I inked it up with the cartridge that came with it. Do any of you have experience with the Lamy Al-Star and the factory cartridge? I'm having many issues with getting the ink to flow on starts. When I lift up the nib and put it back down on the paper for a subsequent stroke, the ink doesn't always flow. This is my first broad nib pen, so it is possible I'm doing something wrong. Any suggestions, feedback, or "try this" appreciated. Regards, RejectH0- 4 replies
