I recently bought a "Lamy Studio Slim 2014" and a "Lamy 2000 Taxus". The writers are raised to be beyond any doubt. Were delivered both in each case with a black M-Mine. , After a brief comparison already occurred to me while on differences. So wrote the factory supplied mine from the "Studio" significantly blacker and more fluid than it did the mine from the 2000 just delivered. Complaining? Hm, that thing was writing, but not how I imagined it. So I got myself in stores yet an M16 broad and black - because I had still a the thrust that was already 20 years old and wrote to a good talking again, but it should be a new one that writes jet black. , The initial euphoria also showed that the width and black ink significantly softer and darker writes what they undoubtedly also still does. Only the cover letter it is happening already badly difficult. Will make a single hook in the to-do list as almost a challenge. , So I did not know the date of Lamy. The first abnormalities that I noted in the direction were with a black Parker Quink in M. After I because now doubted already on myself, I have a small benchmark employed with the following mines. , * Parker Quink M scharz (bought in July 2013, Amazon) * Parker Quink B black (purchased in July 2014, Amazon) * Lamy M16 M black (initial assembly Lamy Studio Slim October 2014 stores) * Lamy M16 B black (bought in October 2014, specialized trade) * Faber Castell Polyball XB blue (bought in October 2014, drugstore) * Faber Castell Polyball XB black (bought in October 2014, drugstore) , , Did proceeded as follows: , 1) any condition pens (one line large 8-write) 2) lying outsource overnight on the desk, about 14 h 3) 10 8-letter in the range of a defined defined touchdown from 4) Store 1h lying 5) Repeat 3) , , My assessment (see scan) , * The Faber Castell Polyball (Balu and black) to write almost exactly, both for long and short wait. * Virtually evaluate equally good are the Parker Quink B and Lamy M16 M. * The worst performers from the Parker Quink M and the Lamy M16 B. Here one needs almost a complete 8 to obtain a rich line and is not good to take notes. , , Conclusion: , Of course, here there is a lack of statistics. What if you do that with 25 mines 25 times? Hm, I can not say. What I can say: the Lamy M16B that I have here ', is useless. I think I'll take in the future four-Euro-Schreiber from the drugstore. That's may be ugly, but writes it.
