But first, the good: the Tipo has a rather slick design. It has a smooth plastic barrel and a ribbed plastic grip section that slowly tapers toward the tip. It comes in all sorts of colors, and it manages to feel high quality, even with its all-plastic construction. Lamy’s (propriet...
The Lamy 2000 is a very competent piston filler that has a nice ink capacity of 1.4 ml. Out of the box, it usually works smoothly and effectively with small traces of air when completely filled. However, there have been some pens known to arrive to customers with pistons that feel sticky...
One blue ink cartridge included. Note: This pen may come with ink residue in the nib from being dip tested by LAMY at the factory. As with all new fountain pens, JetPens recommends giving your LAMY a good cleaning before you use it.Add to ComparisonRelated...
That nib should fit the 2000 just fine. Lamy used that nib in a lot of their pens, some of which had steel nibs even. I believe the feed should fit as well. There may also be some people out there who may have parts or you can try to track down a parts pen Stolen: Aurora Opt...

Because when I asked endlesspens, I was told that every lamy EF gold nib they had, had that little pseudo-architect effect of an F/M cross stroke at a 40-45 degree angle. Such a shallow angle is largely irrelevant to my applications that employ fountain pens, unless I'mpushi...
like Pelikan Black. It works perfect and is so easy to disassemble and clean. I just bought an xf stainless body. Scratchy. No sweet spot. I kept it 2 days and just returned for exchange. You can get a bad one but these really are great pens. Regards and enjoy this...
Lamy 2000 and the Origins of "Lamy Design":A 15,000-word review in five parts IntroductionLamy 2000 is one of the most recommended pens on Fountain Pen Network, in part because it is fairly common and relatively inexpensive; because it combines refined d
exactly the same as that of the Safari fountain pen capped, at 14 cm (5-1/2”). Extracting the refill extends the length by 3 mm. The equilateral sides of the triangular pen measure roughly 12.5 mm (1/2”) each. The photo below compares various other pens to the Dialog 1 in the ...
try flossing the nib with a brass shim. Depending on the ink there might be deposits between the tines or on the inside of the tines. I find my wet 2000 EF benefits from flossing. The other EF I have is dry and has no such issue. I use Pelikan or Montblanc ink in these pens. ...
