Customer Reviews
Fabulous EDC pen. Love it.
Second Lamy pen. The Studio is much better for me than the CP1 because I have bigger hands and this pen doesn't cause my hand to cramp up over time. I am using an extra fine nib and it writes well. The black grip is good and works as expected; I specifically avoided the other models because I didn't want a problem with slipping and I don't with this pen. Otherwise, it's an attractive pen that I received a complement on the other day as a colleague walked by. The only thing you need to worry about with this pen, and it is my main concern, is the brushed finish. Brushed finishes will eventually have their grooves flattened out in certain spots by contact with harder surfaces or impact from drops. I personally don't have a problem with that because I keep my pens away from surfaces that will damage them. Aside from that, any pen is going to get damaged or wear over time unless you keep it in a box. So, live a little and accept that you'll eventually replace it, but only after some beautiful years. And again, there are ways to put a brushed finish back on things or smooth it out so it's more polished. It's all up to what you consider beautiful. I'm happy with the purchase.
Writes well, and fits in the hand well. My only suggestion would be a nib that's finer than your fine nib, but broader than you extra-fine nib. That, however, is independent of the pen itself. A very nice piece of engineering!
The Lamy Studio is my 2nd fountain pen ever, and I think it's super easy to use. I'm no fountain pen expert, I've only had this pen for a month, but from what I've seen, it's super comfortable to write with. I was a little bit worried about the grip being too slippery considering I have bigger than-normal hands, but it worked out just fine! I can't wait to continue my fountain pen journey, and this is my current favorite fountain pen!
I'm extremely happy with my Lamy Studio in brushed stainless steel; This pen has become my EDC fountain pen, and I think it'll stay in the daily rotation for quite some time. Will probably upgrade this pen eventually to the gold Lamy nib, although the stock Lamy nib functions just fine - this pen just begs to be dressed up. Very happy with this pen, certainly one of my favorites.
FAQs about Fountain Pens
How do I fill a fountain pen with ink?
It depends on the pen's filling mechanism, which you can find in the Technical Specs section above.
Here's a quick definition of the most common filling mechanisms:
- Cartridge - A 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! Check out our quick guide here.
- Converter - A detachable and refillable ink reservoir that allows you to use bottled ink in a cartridge-accepting pen. Typically you will install the converter into the grip section, dip the nib/feed into the ink, and twist or pull the converter knob to draw ink into the converter. Here's a video for how to fill a cartridge/converter pen using a LAMY pen as an example.
- Eyedropper - A pen that utilizes the entire barrel as a reservoir for ink. Ink is directly filled into the barrel, allowing for a high ink capacity. Here's a video on how to do it!
- Piston - A type of filling system that uses a retracting plunger inside a sealed tube to draw ink into a pen. They are typically either twist or push-operated. These pens cannot accept cartridges or a converter, and only fill from bottled ink.
- Vacuum - A push-style piston that uses pressure to fill the large pen body with ink. They seal the ink chamber when closed, making it ideal for flying without risk of leaking. Check out our video on how to use a vac filler here.
Check out more info on these filling mechanisms including a video on how to fill each one on our blog.
How do I clean a fountain pen?
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:
How often do I need to clean my fountain pen?
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 pen won’t write! What do I do?
First things first... make sure you have ink in the pen! Be sure that the ink cartridge or converter is seated properly in the pen, and that you aren't out of ink.
We always recommend you give your pen a good cleaning first, using our Goulet Pen Flush, or a drop of dish soap in some water. New pens often have some machining oil residue left in the feed, so a good cleaning often does the trick first.
If that still doesn't work, try priming the feed. This consists of either dipping your pen nib and feed in ink, or forcing ink from the converter down into the feed.
If it’s still not working after that, please reach out to us so we can help!
