Which LAMY pen is right for me?

Ballpoint pens are best for quick notes, while rollerball and fountain pens offer a more graceful writing experience. Check out our Pen Guidefor more information, to help you find the right pen to suit your needs.

Which nib is right for me?

Choosing a fountain pen nib can be confusing, especially if you're just starting out, so check out the Nib Guideto help find the right nib to suit you.

Is LAMY ink waterproof?

Because it's a water-based formula, LAMY ink is not waterproof, but that can work to your advantage if you want to create a watercolour design without ink lines.

Care and maintenance

How do I refill my pen?

Refilling your LAMY pen is quite simple, but it can vary from model to model. Check out our How To Refill Your Pen guidesto keep your pen writing smoothly.

Why has the ink stopped flowing from my pen?

If a ballpoint or rollerball pen hasn't been used for a while, you might find the ink flows slowly or stops writing entirely. A new refill will bring your pen back to peak writing condition. For a fountain pen, regular maintenance will help keep the ink flowing. Take a look at our Fountain Pen Cleaning guide to get your pen back to top condition.

How do I clean my fountain pen?

Cleaning our fountain pen is a great way to keep it in premium condition. Follow the steps in our Fountain Pen Cleaning guide to keep your ink flowing freely.

How do I change the nib of a LAMY fountain pen?

Changing the nib on most LAMY fountain pens is a simple task you can perform at home, opening up more options for your writing experience. Check out the Nib Change guide for the full process.

How do I store LAMY ink?

Store your ink in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. LAMY ink bottles are made of glass, which is a great storage vessel – just make sure the cap is securely closed when you put it away.

Why can't I open my pen?

Some parts of LAMY pens are reverse-threaded, which means you twist them the opposite direction to what you might be used to.
