Dark dust is a LAMY AL-star Special Edition released in 2025 alongside mint. LAMY produces special edition colours for one season only, so once retail stock is sold through the colour is not made again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the difference between the LAMY AL-star and the LAMY Safari?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth pens share the same shape, grip section and interchangeable nib units. The Safari has an ABS plastic body and is the lighter of the two; the AL-star has an anodised aluminium body, a slightly wider barrel and a translucent rather than solid grip section, which gives it a more substantial feel in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhich nib size should I choose?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExtra Fine (EF) suits small handwriting, bullet journals and filling in forms. Fine (F) is the most popular all-round choice and behaves well on most office paper. Medium (M) lays down a wetter, broader line that shows off ink shading, and is best on thicker or fountain-pen-friendly paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes the pen come with ink?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Each pen ships with one LAMY T10 blue ink cartridge. If you prefer bottled ink, add the LAMY Z28 converter, which is sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I have this pen engraved in Singapore?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Cityluxe offers in-house laser engraving on the aluminium barrel — select \u003cem\u003ePersonalise your pen\u003c\/em\u003e above. Gift wrapping with a handwritten message card is also available at checkout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs the AL-star suitable for beginners and left-handed writers?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The moulded grip section makes it easy to hold the pen at the correct angle, which is why the AL-star and Safari are so often recommended as first fountain pens. Left-handed writers generally get on best with the Extra Fine or Fine nib, which uses less ink and dries faster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat ink refills fit the LAMY AL-star?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AL-star takes LAMY T10 proprietary ink cartridges, available in blue, black, blue-black, red, green, turquoise, purple and more, or the LAMY Z28 converter for any bottled fountain pen ink.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lamy","offers":[{"title":"Fine","offer_id":50647526342893,"sku":"Al-star Dark Dusk - F","price":73.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":50647526375661,"sku":"Al-star Dark Dusk - M","price":73.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Extra Fine","offer_id":50647526408429,"sku":"Al-star Dark Dusk - EF","price":73.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/cityluxe.sg\/products\/lamy-al-star-fountain-pen-dark-dust","provider":"Cityluxe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
