LamyCartridges Refill - Black -5-pack T10BK

There is not much to say here as this is just ink refills, but they work great with the Lamy Safari pen they are designed for. It is easy to see when they are empty. They install easily. There is no mess. They do not break or leak easily. The quality of the ink is great, though this depends upon your paper and conditions.I do agree with one of the other reviewers that the ink can smudge if you don't give a few minutes to dry. This is subjective depending upon your writing style. In my case, I accept the smudging possibility because the upside is that the pen works smooth (if the ink was too dry or had bad chemicals it would dry quicker).

These cartridges work exactly as needed, but for anyone who is using a fountain pen long-term, you are much better off buying a glass of ink and a Lamy Refill Converter. This is a much cheaper option in the long run because you buy ink in a larger quantity (and have more choices are far are better quality inks and different colors) and then simply siphon ink from a glass jar to the refill cartridge.The only downside to the refill cartridge is that it holds less ink (to make room for the plunger-like thing that creates suction) but even then you wouldn't use up an entire cartridge in one day unless you were writing constantly for several hours.

Fits the Lamy Safari pens as well as a myriad of other Lamy pens. Smooth ink, rich colors. I've bought both blue and black in the past. These cartridges typically don't leak and form an excellent seal. I've even used them on 18 hour transcontinental flights. They also do not burst or leak during unpressurized high altitude flights. At least not in my many experiences.Excellent product. Made by Lamy for Lamy pens. You will be very happy.

I inserted the first cartridge but....nothing. If you have the same experience, it's not the cartridges, your Lamy Pen just needs to be cleaned first. There are some online videos that show how to simply do that. The metal nib pulls out easily. The plastic piece the nib fits over also separates of pulled out firmly. (No twisting though as there are small nubs for alignment you'll break if you twist it off!) Run each piece under the tap or soak in clean water, wipe each off and air dry. Reassemble and your pen will write like new!

I keep these in my backpack as a backup for when my pen runs out of ink. They have good ink, and write very smoothly. The color is very close to black, unlike some inks which are more grey. The only reason I don't use these all the time is the expense. It's much cheaper to use a converter with bottled ink, but I like to keep these around in case my pen runs out when I don't have my ink bottle with me. If you don't want to go to the hassle of refilling a converter, these are a great choice.

I bought my Lamy demonstrator pen and initially used the converter I bought to go with it. I write a great deal and found it a hassle to refill the converter so often. A reviewer mentioned these cartridges were larger capacity than the converters so I ordered them, intending to fill them with Noodler's ink (Heart of Darkness black).Cannot comment on the original ink in these cartridges (UPDATE: I did test these - the original ink in the cartridges is of good quality). Very happy that I can now go longer between refills.

Cartridges are so convenient, especially for road warrior pens like the Safari. I picked up this pack with my latest acquisition and had really low expectations. It lays down nearly as dark as Noodler's Bad Black Moccasin and dries to a dark charcoal. Actually, you'd see it as black unless, like me, you were comparing it to other black inks. Great for every day, easy on the eyes, never had a dud in a Lamy cartridge pack.

I've searched for years for a fountain pen that writes beautifully and feels great in my hand. The Lamy my son gave me for Christmas is it. In no time at all, I was very comfortable with its weight (relatively light) and nib that makes my writing simply flow across the page.I hate to gush, but thank you, Amazon, for offering this product!I am also delighted with the converter that allows me to refill the pen instead of buying and changing cartridges. Found that though Amazon, too!

Pathetic please don't buy a the cartridges are dry and dont work
