12/27/2023 0 Comments Lamy dark lilac![]() I did do a few sentences with my Esterbrook 9315F relief stub, just to check, but the color is so dense that it really did not shade much. I’d heard there was not a lot of shading with the Dark Lilac so I didn’t think using a fine nib would be doing the ink a disservice. I tested Dark Lilac with my new-to-me Lamy Safari Lime (the 2008 edition, thanks to Susan Wirth for this wonderful pen!) with an EF nib. Some shops are saying they will get a restock towards the end of May, beginning of June so keep your eyes peeled. But you want to know if they are good, right? So here it is… my take on Lamy Dark Lilac $10.50.

Honestly, I am really struggling to find anything bad about this ink. My Lamy Safari I use for testing inks went smoothly across the paper with all types of Lamy nibs I tried. I really enjoyed the ink itself and writing using this ink. Ink is not water resistant and easy to clean. No problems with feathering or show through on good or standard quality paper types, but noticeable on cheap 90g/m2 Xerox copy paper. Despite of its ‘ smoking in the water‘ well saturated deep purple colour, it gives some shading too. I think this is the most saturated ink Lamy has in their offer. Lamy Dark Lilac is very well saturated ink. However, (apart of nice looking shine), line produced by flexible nib was too dark…feels almost black. The 1.1mm Lamy italic nib gave nice purple line too. The best of Dark Lilac‘s colour I got using broad or medium nib. I need to ask my colleague what she thinks about it, but I have the feeling that being a ‘Goth-person’ she will absolutely love it! The dark rich purple colour reminds me a vampire’s cape velvety inner part…Dracula thing. There is something ‘dark’ about this ink. I have noticed it also with a broad nib but much less. It adds a shiny edge to the written line, especially where nib tines creates shallow rails in a paper. The shine may be also noticed with flexible nib is used. There is something else there what makes this ink super cool – Dark Lilac shines and it does it well! Whatever is causing it, the golden shine is visible not only on well saturated swab tests but also when diffused in water creating superb visual effect. The main body is purple but there are also pink, magenta and blue components too. It is very interesting in terms colour composition. The closest ink I would think of is Diamine Purple Pazzazz (except shimmering effect). Dark Lilac is much darker and richer purple than Violet and in my opinion is less ‘girly’ looking. ![]() So what is a Dark Lilac ink all about, especially when Lamy has already very pretty Violet ink in their offer? Well, first of all it matches perfectly the new pen (series). Dark Lilac is the brand new ink from Lamy to accompany long awaited and finally released a new 2016 Special Edition Lamy Safari Dark Lilac fountain pen. ![]()
