About LAMY Joy Calligraphy Set in Black with Blue Ink Cartridges
Overall Feedback:
78% positive
81% appreciated the pen's and nib's durability, though 19% found the nib flimsy
I am satisfied with the durability of the calligraphy pen and find it to be an excellent value for the price.
I have noticed that my pen sometimes unscrews slightly from the midsection during prolonged use, which could be a concern for its durability.
73% liked the comfortable grip, while 27% experienced fatigue
The flat surfaces of the pen make it comfortable to hold and provide great control without having to grip it hard, preventing numb fingers.
The flattened neck design of the pen causes my hand to cramp after a while, which I am not a fan of.
81% praised the smooth ink flow, while 19% experienced clogging issues
I have found that the pen writes well for italics and even engrossing script with good ink flow, but not too liquid.
From my experience, the ink cartridges have a consistent and smooth flow rate and the nibs are not scratchy. I also compared them with other types of nibs.
Some inks flow more freely than others, which makes a big difference depending on the nib and the paper I want to use.
My pen is longer than standard pens and sticks out of my Levenger holder. However, it writes great with smooth, even ink flow.

74% liked the variety of line widths
The widest nib produces pretty writing with wider and narrower lines, just like a calligraphy dip nib, but with the consistency of a fountain pen.
This set is a bit more expensive than some found in drugstore or craft shops, but it enables me to write smoothly without fits and starts or scratching all over the paper.
I can create very sharp fine lines and broad strokes with this pen.
I find this pen good for writing italics and engrossing script. The ink flow is good but not too liquid.
