on saleLAMY black - 50ml Bottled Ink

The ink is very dark, creating a nice thick black line even with finer nibs. One downside is that it takes quite a long time to dry. Even being right handed, I find myself smudging the end of the line above the one i'm currently writing.

It's a good ink. I was hoping it would be the same as the Lamy cartridge ink, but it's slightly different - less dark, but also dries faster. Overall a very classic useful black ink. I've been using it in a Lamy AL-star, so very compatible. Flows well. It's a great ink for the price point. Will last a long time. I'm not a big fan of the paper spool at the bottom for wiping the nib, seems extraneous and I don't like the plastic container for the paper spool.

I really like this ink. My only problem has been with the blotting paper jamming when I try to pull some out. Not a huge problem, but a little frustrating. Would purchase it again.

Smooth ink, easy starts, easy cleanup. No nib creep. Always performs well, my goto black ink.

My favourite part of this ink is its design. The bottom of the bottle is sloped so not a drop of ink goes to waste as it gathers in a convenient little dip in the centre. Plus, the paper that comes with the bottle makes clean-up a breeze. The ink itself is nice and consistent. As a bonus (it really shouldn't be), it doesn't stain my pen. I found that another black ink stains the white plastic of my LAMY Safari pink. Safe to say I only use LAMY ink now.
