Pen feels great in the hand, balanced and smooth writing
This is a very nice, lightweight, and smooth writing pen
The only downside to this pen is that the ink flow can be uneven, and you have to find out the angle in which it makes the most consistent strokes with adequate ink flow, otherwise the writing can feel a little scratchy on paper and looks uneven
The writing is inconsistent, it scratches the paper, and the nib makes noise as you write with it
The ink flow was terrible, and the writing felt incredibly scratchy
Even using the included ink cartridge, I frequently lose lines or even entire characters when writing at speed with this pen; it simply isn't reliably delivering ink to the nib at a reliable, sufficient clip
It's a smooth writer and it produces a nice fine line but not too fine; just right in my opinion.
The fine nib makes a decent sized line, one that isn't too small or too big
The indented grip helps when holding the pen to ensure you always lay down a nice solid line
Fine nib draws a smooth, not scratchy line, and the section has cut out grooves to accommodate your fingers nicely
A stupid cap is the last thing you need to worry about on a fountain pen.....
I read about people complaining about a loose cap on the Lamy Studio
But, the cap comes loose after a few months of daily use
However I only like the aspects of this pen which were taken from the real safari and the faulty aspects ruin it for me as it has become almost unusable with its loose cap
Good pen to write with, needs a more secure cap design before I'd consider this one again.
The nib scratches the paper even though I'm not pressure-heavy writer
Its nice, but does not write nearly as well as my pilot metropolitan (cheaper and made of metal)
It also produce too much ink, so even with relatively good quality paper, you can only write on one side, waste a lot of ink
, this pen writes very smooth even on cheap walmart notebook paper, not scratchy at all, I've also tried it with an old "Gregg's Steno"
I write without issue in Moleskine and Livescribe notebooks, as well as in college assignment books and journals, classroom and corporate handouts, and on generic 3-ring binder paper
