Artist Review: Lamy Safari Vista Fountain Pen 

+Rick L Thanks! Check out my blog too ( parkablogs.com ) where I feature more artbooks. WARNING: It could help you save money, but also help you spend money. LOL.

+Jacopo Moruzzi Thanks!

I want to. 😂

If you keep writing the ink will keep flowing and not dry

+Don't Be Sad Thanks!

ALBERTO VILLARROEL Lamy vista used to be Lamy safari clear version, it was just a clear version of Lamy safari, only later Lamy safari clear became a separate product Lamy vista

Noodlers ink is more fluid and less viscous compared to carbon based pigment ink. You can use them in any fountain pen.

Can't really remember. That was too long ago

I'll probably recommend TWSBI over Lamy because TWSBI can hold a lot more ink than Lamy. They write equally well. TWSBI also looks better.

It is recommended so that you can refill with ink bottle. Saves money in the long run.

@@teohyc thanks

+Eric Sareyka The difference between them actually is not too big. It really depends on what kind of lines you like. I personally like thicker ones so I will go with thick.

+Tom TeaYH There are pigmented ink made specially for fountain pens, such as the Platinum Carbon and Sailor KiwaGuro. With pigmented ink, it's best to clean the pen monthly.

+Vecchia Guardia Stilografica Thanksh :-)

+James Jacocks Some people take really good care of their fountain pens. If it's expensive, then I'll pay more attention. But if it's not that expensive a pen, I won't stress out about a few scratches. Lamy is good. I have them for a few years and still working fine.

+WAT Neon? Is that very bright?

+Lorena Baz Lamy Safari is the model of the pen. Vista is the specific demonstrator model with transparent body. But it is still shaped like a normal Safari pen.

Teoh Yi Chie oh, thank you for the acclaration, it was a bit confusing, and thank you for the amazing videos!

Can't remember. Check out these inks instead www.parkablogs.com/content/waterproof-fountain-pen-inks-drawing

+Chris Yes, you need to buy ink convertor as it is not included.

Yep or you can refill normal cartridges :3

+Sharon Nolfi The paper is just some cheap cartridge paper. Best nib... Personally I like the F or M nib. It really depends on whether you like thick or thin lines.

+Teoh Yi Chie Thanks. I'm wondering how it performs on cold press and hot press watercolor paper, as in you journals.

+Sharon Nolfi It works well on coldpress and hotpress paper.

+Celina Tran Oops.

Lamy vista is a clear version of Safari, it used to be a colorway of Safari, the clear version, but later became its own separate product

+Architectural Aesthetics Noodlers Bulletproof black

Use something to push the feed from the converter side, use something that not only fits but almost fill the space, i use a pen usually... All pens are like that the first time, but one you dissasemble them once the next time its verybeasy to do with your hands

+A Red Falcon I would say the Sailor Cross Music or Cross Emperor. I'll put out a video review for them in the future. Text reviews are below: www.parkablogs.com/picture/review-sailor-cross-music-emperor-nib-fountain-pen www.parkablogs.com/picture/review-sailor-cross-emperor-nib-fountain-pen If you ask me that question any month, it might be a different answer. Currently, I like using the Pelikan M200 www.parkablogs.com/picture/review-pelikan-m200-fountain-pen

You need to use waterproof ink. E.g. Noodlers Bulletproof Black, De Atramentis, Sailor KiwaGuro

And Also PLATINUM Carbon black @@teohyc

Teoh I know your name is not Amanda hahaha just to clear up any confusion Amanda was the young lady who sold me the pen 🙃

Not sure why

+Sylvia Catalano Perhaps they are called that because they demonstrate how fountain pens work. Lol. Smoothest pen I used is small Kaweco fountain pens. There should be a lot of smooth pens available.

Safari is better. Lamy Joy has a long body which I personally don't like.

Personally I prefer TWSBI for the design. As long the nib is a standard typical nib, it should perform more or less the same. Ink, how thick it is, will affect ink flow. But pen nibs should be smooth on paper, unless it's EF nib.

@@teohyc the nib in my Lamy is F, but it doesn't seem to be smooth when I write with it. What may I change for writing better, fountain pen or ink?

What ink are you using?

@@teohyc skethink thea

+Artseytips You can get Lamy Safari for $25, the ink converter for $5, Noodler's ink for $20. The Duke fude nib pen you can buy on eBay on a later date. It cost around $10-15 only.

+Teoh Yi Chie thanks!

The twsbi looks nicer in my opinion. It's a personal preference. Both should write well.

+Amy Samin You can refill them easily so it is cheaper in the long run. And you can use whatever ink you want.

Teoh Yi Chie I see. Thank you so much for your quick reply! Your videos are wonderful.

Louis Xu I don’t understand if in the minutes 2:55 he used F or EF

It may clog so better not. You can use Noodlers Bulletproof Black, Sailor KiwaGuro or De Atramentis Document/Archive Black. Those are waterproof inks made for fountain pen use.

@@teohyc Have you tried SketchINK in Lotte? I've seen you recommend SketchINK for people who want waterproof colored inks, so I'm wondering how the black ink in that line is. Thanks! :)

Vista

No problem

thank you

+fred flint It's not good to support people who steal other people's product. Besides, the Lamy fountain pen is not that expensive. If you want cheaper fountain pens, just get Duke or Hero fountain pens.

Thanks, Theo!Of Couse you right! You mean Duke 209 or another model? How about Jinhao? Or Caliarts? ru.aliexpress.com/item/Caliarts-ego-transparent-piston-fountain-pen/32812652230.html?spm=2114.03010208.3.2.JmJTf5&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_2_10152_10208_10065_10151_10068_5310012_10301_10136_10137_10060_10155_10062_437_10154_5300012_10056_10055_10054_10059_303_100031_10099_10103_10102_10096_10169_10052_10053_10142_10107_10050_10051_5030012_10084_10083_10119_10080_10082_10081_10110_519_10111_10112_10113_10114_10182_10078_10079_10073_10123_10120_10189_10127_142_10125,searchweb201603_2,ppcSwitch_5&btsid=ca504113-9f94-45d2-8c11-939e4de0e0b7&algo_expid=eb47fafc-028e-49fa-9b13-cebfdf594e71-0&algo_pvid=eb47fafc-028e-49fa-9b13-cebfdf594e71 About Hero-model 359 looks like Lamy Safary.Ooops)) ru.aliexpress.com/item/Dazzle-fashion-style-Hero-Brand-fountain-pen-0-5mm-NIB-gift-pen-14-color-available/32744537901.html?spm=2114.10010208.1000016.1.gWlcXH&isOrigTitle=true

fred flint I have not heard of that brand before. You could get it and make a review to help others.

Thaks for your help,Theo!

+artgapelove I've actually not used the x750 before. The one that I have is modified with a Zebra nip. But it's worth trying because it's an extremely affordable fountain pen. Get it from eBay for the cheapest price.

ありがとうございました

Yes

@@teohyc Thanks!!! Your video helped me a lot!!!

+theJimmy2 Thanks ✌️️

+katherine324211 Like using the reverse side of the nib? It will give a very thin line.

@@teohyc Hi! Thanks for another wonderfully informative video. Is the triangular grip still comfortable when you use the reverse side of the nib?

@@SmasherBunny The triangle grip is not going to be comfortable if you flip the nib in reverse. After all the body is not designed to be held that way.

Fine and Extra Fine
