L A M Y has several new items for Fall 2009. The Safari line of Lamy pens that has been around since the early 1980's introduced Orange this Summer which just happens to be the very first Safari color from 25 years ago. Except this edition is a glossy orange as opposed to the original matte orange. It is available in fountain and ballpoint. Another new Safari color is the pink that just came out, also available in fountain and ballpoint. This series continues to be very popular because Lamy has kept the price low over the years by introducing less costly packaging, and removing the ink converter that used to accompany every Safari fountain. Today the fountain pen sells for $30 USD & the ballpoint for $22 USD.
Another new Safari color is the black purple in the aluminum barreled Al-Star, it is available in fountain, ballpoint, and rollerball. They sell for $40 USD, $30 USD, and $35 USD respectively.
Another new product from this Heidelberg, Germany based company is the very unusual Dialog 3. It joins the Dialog 1 & 2 which are very unique in themselves. All three are designed by top European product designers and architects. They include the Dialog 1 a futuristic triangular ballpoint, and Dialog 2 which is a sleek retractable rollerball. The Dialog 3 is to be a retractable fountain pen in palladium finish with a 14kt nib. The nib and the clip retract with a twist of the pen. This is sure to be a great addition to the Dialog series. It will be available in EF, F, M, and B nib sizes, and the price is to be around $250 USD when it debuts.
Another new finish is coming in the Studio series when they introduce Violet with chrome trim. It will be available with a 14kt gold nib in fountain, ballpoint, and rollerball from $90 USD - $135 USD.
The last new item is a new finish in the Swift series, the original retractable roller that debuted 25 years ago. The new finish is called rubinblack and is a metallic matte finished lacquer with a clear lacquer covering. This is a Special Edition for 2009 only, and will have a limited production run.
