Frequently asked questions

Which nib for my LAMY fountain pen?

In general, every LAMY fountain pen is compatible with every nib in our range. Therefore, the perfect nib ultimately depends on your personal taste.

How do I find the right fountain pen nib?

LAMY offers a wide range of nibs - it is best to test which one best suits your personal needs and individual typeface at your local LAMY dealer.

A-nib

  • Ideal for beginners

Rounded nibs: M and LH

  • Allround nibs
  • optimised for left-handers

Straight nibs: EF, F, B, BB*

  • Straight ground iridium ball

Slanted nibs: OM**, OB**, OBB*

  • For slanted writing position
  • One side of the nib is shortened or slanted.

What do I have to consider when buying a nib for a fountain pen?

In addition to compatibility with your fountain pen, your individual handwriting and special preferences also play a role.

As far as the nib width is concerned, for example: The smaller the handwriting, the finer the nib should be. Large handwritten scripts, on the other hand, usually come out best with a broad nib.

Would you like to treat yourself to something particularly classy? Then you will be happy with one of our premium nibs: The LAMY fountain pens made of gold or black stainless steel not only make your fountain pen a stylish eye-catcher, but are also characterised by a uniquely soft, even writing feel.

We recommend our LH nib especially for left-handers and novice writers are particularly supported in their needs with the A nib - both nib strengths can be found in the online shop under the model LAMY Z50.

What material are the nibs for LAMY fountain pens made of?

The All-round and Special fountain nibs are made of steel (LAMY Z50, Z53 models). Among our premium models you will also find gold fountain pens (LAMY Z55, Z56, Z57) and stainless steel (LAMY Z52).

What are the different types of nibs?

In addition to the material (steel, stainless steel, gold), LAMY fountain pens also differ in their line width or cut: Nibs in the strengths EF, F, B, BB are just straight, nibs in the strength M have a completely rounded tip and nibs in the strengths OM, OB, OBB are bevelled at the tip and are therefore particularly suitable for an oblique writing position.
