Lamy Blue is your basic blue ink and more often than not, a cartridge of it comes with most Lamy fountain pens. Here's a review of it for more detail: https://mountainofink.com/blog/lamy-blue. This writing sample was done with a Lamy Studio with a fine nib. The fine nib created a line between fine and medium, but still performed well during the test.
AMPAD Legal Pad: A drying time of 5 seconds with slight bleed-through and ghosting.
Post-It-Note: A drying time of 10 seconds, bleeding and ghosting present.
AMPAD Small Legal Pad: A drying time of 15 seconds, slight ghosting.
AMPAD Scratchpad: An instant drying time, but a lot of ghosting & bleeding present.
AMPAD Steno Pad: A drying time of 20 seconds, slight ghosting present.
Staples Copy Paper: An instant drying time, small amount of bleed-through and slight ghosting present.
pen & GEAR Notebook: A drying time of 20 seconds, slight ghosting present with the Every Other Line test. Ghosting not apparent with the Overlapping Line test.
Thoughts: Lamy Blue performed well on the range of papers I used for the test. The 20 lb Staples copy paper was perhaps the most desirable result, with an instantaneous drying time and only slight ghosting and minimal bleed-through. The poorest performer was the Post-It-Note, with a 10 second drying time and evident bleed-through, but how often will someone write on both sides? The pen & GEAR Notebook performed the best with minimal ghosting and no bleed-through with the every other line and overlapping line tests, but the drying time of 20 seconds may cause smudges if writing very quickly. The other tests fell between the copy paper and p&G notebook in terms of drying time and ghosting/bleed-through performance. Overall, Lamy Blue will get you through most cheap papers provided by a workplace with minimal inconvenience.
