Ink Review #385: Lamy Blue-Black

Today we are reviewing Lamy Blue-Black.

Swabs:


This ink had medium shading and med-high sheen. The red sheen stays at the edge of the letters and does not pool. The color leans more towards blue than black. It is a close match to Sailor Jentle Blue-Black and Tono & Lims Dynamite. The blue is more gray-toned than Sailor Sou Boku.

Writing Sample:

This ink had an average, consistent flow. I really liked using it in my Pelikan which tends to be a wet writer. I also liked the shade of blue—you can tell that you are using a blue ink, but it is dark enough to be professional.

Overall:Lamy Blue-Black is is an affordable blue-black ink (around $12 for 50 mL) with medium shading and sheen.
