“Great fountain pen, very pleasure to write with, nib is always very smooth and wouldn't get clogged even if you don't use it for a long time (mine is medium nib). Great customer service, replied and solved my problem very quickly.”
“Very quick service. I purchased the mechanism because I had lost the previous mechanism from my pencil, I think it was worth buying the parts I needed because this is a great pencil, that I use often 😀”
“Ordered a custom Al-Star pen and a set of violet T10 ink cartridges and both came within 5 business days as LAMY themselves said it would. I am writing this from Sydney Australia, however, and I think they made it in Victoria which is a 10 hour drive away. Postage will mostly depend on the local post system. The violet ink is solid purple, and the Al-Star has a nice feel. Fine nib is also very nice as it dries faster than medium nib, which in my opinion, lets out too much ink and takes too long to dry. The inprint is the only questionable aspect about this whole thing - I had mine on the cap and it is not to the quality I thought it would be for being 30% the price of the pen itself. They always give blue ink in the pens.”
“Not what I expected. Very nice ink, but not as ‘smooth’ as the black ink - I can feel more nib scrape. Also, it’s not turquoise. It’s best to describe this colour as a light blue. There is no green tinge to it. Other than these two very minor things, still a lovely ink, as you always get with Lamy.”
“I now have two Safari pens, (medium and fine) they are beautiful to draw with. I use the refillable cartridge filled with indelible ink. A lot better than the scratchy dip pens I have used in the past.
I don't think Lamy recomends using indelible ink but I have not had a problem with it so far.
This means I can put a watercolour wash over my ink drawings without the drawing bleeding.”
“Thank you LAMY for being in the world, and for helping get my treasured fountain pen back to writing & drawing. The understanding and prompt responses of your staff, and the support videos online, are all refreshingly real and generous and rare. I am a happy customer!”
“Love my new limited edition Safaris! The colours are fabulous and as always, they're beautiful to write with. Postage was super speedy and I'm really happy with how fast they arrived. Can't wait for the AL-Stars!!”
“I’ve had several Safari fountain pens over the years and they are a staple in my stationery drawer. When I had hassles with the nibs, after about 4 years, the customer support was exceptional. Better than most new purchase experiences I’ve had. Even if the pens weren’t my favourite, I’d recommend Lamy just for the customer service… a stand out for sure.”
“Bought the converter so I could use permanent ink. Was surprised by how easy it was to load with ink.
Would highly recommend as an accessory to Lamy safari pen to open up options for ink variants”
“What can I say, the Lamy is the only way to go. I now have two fountain pens and two ballpoint pens. They write beautifully and feel great in your hand. The quality is great and would not use anything else now.”
