Ink Review #1435: Lamy Green

Lamy Green is an ink I’ve been meaning to review for a while so today’s the day! You can find this ink for sale at most retailers including Pen Chalet (aff. link) and Vanness Pens.

The color:

Lamy Green is a medium green that leans toward blue.

Swabs:

In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink looks less blue-toned than it does on the previous swab.

Writing samples:

Let's take a look at how the ink behaves on fountain pen friendly papers: Rhodia, Tomoe River, and Leuchtturm.

Longer writing:

I used an Esterbrook Estie Oversize Montana Sparkle with a broad nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had an average flow.

Overall, it’s a nice basic green but there’s nothing about it that stands out.
