on saleLAMY blackberry - Ink Cartridges (Special Edition)

makes the pen feel even smoother compared to plain black or blue not sure what the magic is

Newbie on hiatus, I I finally found my pen and decided to get it in working order. Beautiful color here, and cartridge got going without any hassle at all. From my limited experience: if the pen has trouble writing, quickly check to make sure the cartridge is still properly attached (instead of shaking the pen and dislodging it even more hahaha)

I have been using this for notes - Lamy Broad - and it is very nice. I can't speak to feathering as I'm using Clairfontaine paper. But I like the color. Very dark, but still purple.

The color itself is not my very favorite, although it really does look nice with a lovely gold sheen--but the FEEL of this ink and the wetness is just off the charts!! My friend sent me a sample and I'm buying a stack of these cartridges with my next order. :)

I am sure that part of my surprise is due to the fact that I am using a pen with an EF nib, but I thought I had made a mistake the first time I used this ink. I thought I had mistakenly used a cartridge with black ink in it; it looked just that dark. On closer inspection, I realized I had the right color, just that it was much darker than I expected. Trust me, this is a great ink for professional purposes. It is dark enough not to draw attention to itself, yet close inspection reveals a marked difference from the standard black inks. That is to say it is understated and refined. If you are looking for a brassy purple to show your freaky side, this isn't for you. Truth is, it may be just a bit too understated for me but your mileage may vary.
