One of two special edition LAMY AL-star fountain pen colors for 2024! The LAMY AL-star is the aluminum big brother to the LAMY safari. The dark blue translucent triangular grip section makes it great for those starting out who have no idea how to hold a fountain pen, but it's used and loved by fountain pen lovers of all levels of experience.

This blue aquatic anodized aluminum AL-star features an interchangeable black steel nib, which can be easily swapped out for another size.

This fountain pen comes with a blue LAMY ink cartridge so you can get started writing right away. If you'd like to use bottled fountain pen ink, you can also purchase a LAMY Z28 converter.

Note: To ensure quality performance, LAMY tests their pens as a final step in manufacturing. If you happen to see any residual blue ink, rest assured that this is normal.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I fill this LAMY fountain pen with ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

This fountain pen can fill with proprietary LAMY ink cartridges, or from a LAMY converter.

A cartridge is small, disposable, sealed plastic reservoir that holds fountain pen ink. These come pre-filled with ink, and typically you just push to insert them into place and you'll be ready to write!

This pen uses proprietary LAMY ink cartridges, which are available in a range of colors.

As for converters, LAMY does make two different converters - the red Z28, and the black Z27. All of their fountain pens (except the 2000) can accept the black Z27; typically this converter is included with the higher-end LAMY pens like the aion, cp1, scala, and studio. The red Z28 has additional knobs for a more secure installation that is compatible (and sold separately) on the AL-star, joy, and safari.

We've got a great video demonstrating both filling methods here:

How do I clean a fountain pen? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

It depends on the filling mechanism, but it mostly comes down to flushing it out with water, and sometimes a little bit of Pen Flush if the ink is really stuck. 

It's a bit easier to show than to tell, so we've put together a few quick videos showing you the process:

We recommend a good cleaning every 2 weeks, and any time you change ink colors. Water will usually do the trick, but we recommend you use our Goulet Pen Flush if the ink has been left in the pen for a while and could have dried up, or when you’re switching ink colors.

my friendly workhorse rides again

I love the AL-stars for everyday work, and this one does not disappoint. ;No bells and whistles, except the strangely satisfying grip, which I love. Doesn't skip or get hung up. Really enjoying it. Thanks, Goulet!

Lovely Lamy

I love this pen with a broad nib! Nibs are very easy to change The grip is shaped like the one on the Safari. The All star is just a bit wider than the Safari and has a slightly transparent grip. Love these pens, always start, easy to clean!

Love Lamy AL-star Pens

This is my third Lamy Al-Star. They are all wonderful and all still working beautifully. All of them have medium nibs. For the money they just can't be beat. I have many fountain pens but I keep coming back to these for everyday use.
