Love it for sketching

I am very happy with this ink, it flows well both in writing and sketching. If you like using a wet brush on the sketch the ink flows and has some light green and bluish grey showing through. Writing with it is so smooth.

It's ink. With care it doesn't smudge too much. I like the container.

Good staple black ink

Lamy inks all have a good flow and have reasonable dry times. This is one of the best black inks I know. It may not be as highly saturated as say Noodler's black, but it is a good solid colour and behaves well in every pen I have tried it in. The bottle design is sweet too - the roll of blotting paper around the bottom means you don't have to worry about needing to refil on the go as you always have a way to clean the nib etc after filling.

The best quality!

The ink from Goulet is the best quality, and comes in a wonderful, stylistic container. I wouldn't buy from anywhere else!

First Black Ink.

It flows well, and dries quickly. Great for a lefty.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I fill my fountain pen from an ink sample vial? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

The technique depends on the fountain pen's filling mechanism.

How much writing can I really do with 2ml? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

We find that usually you can get 2 good fills for a typical converter with our ink samples, or one good fill with a large capacity piston-filling pen.

How much writing you can do depends on you more than anything else. It mostly depends on how big or small you write, and the nib size you’re using. We recommend experimenting with different nib sizes to find what works best for you.
