On June 30, 2016 my Makrolon Lamy 2000 (0.6mm CI) joined its comrades when it was filled with Paradise Pen Sunset Red. The pen was in use for 6 months and was emptied and cleaned on January 18, 2017, saying good-bye to its fellows.

Thoughts Before Filling

I really want a red ink in my rotation, I seem to always want a red ink in my rotation, and I really wanted to use a red ink in my Lamy 2000. Since I haven’t had a chance to use Paradise Pen’s Sunset Red I figured this was a good combination.

Thoughts After Cleaning the Pen

For some reason this combination didn’t work as well for me as I thought and hoped it would. I like the pen. I like the ink. I even, for a time, enjoyed the two of them together. I believe the problem I encountered is that I ended up only using it in my Hobonichi Techo, which has a 4mm grid and this italic writes just a bit too wide for that to be comfortable.
