Parker Fountain Pen Ink Bottle | Blue-Black QUINK Ink | 57 ml Fountain Pen Refill

I've been using Parker Fountain Pen Ink in Blue-Black for a few years now, and I couldn't be more pleased with the quality. The 57 ml bottle is generously sized, offering plenty of ink for my regular writing sessions, and the packaging is classic Parker—elegant and durable.The ink itself is exceptional. The blue-black hue is sophisticated, providing a perfect balance between traditional black and a hint of colour that adds character. On official documents it photocopies as black so I can tell which is genuine and which is the copy. It dries quickly on the page, reducing smudging, but still has enough time to allow for smooth writing without any interruptions. I love how it performs on different types of paper, always delivering a crisp, clean line without any feathering. But do watch for some bleed on certain papers.The Quink formula also does a fantastic job at maintaining the health of my fountain pens. I've noticed fewer clogs and a generally smoother flow since switching to this ink. Plus, it's easy to clean from the pen, which is a bonus. Mainly it's used in a 50 years old plus Parker Duofold and a couple of modern Lamy pens with both broad and medium nibs.If you're looking for a high-quality ink that offers both style and performance, I highly recommend the Parker Fountain Pen Ink in Blue-Black. It has added a touch of elegance to every word I put on paper!

Beautiful INK, I love it

I love writing with a nice fountain pen, and use four different colours. Washable blue is good for a pen carried in a pocket as occasionally a pen may leak. My students appreciate my use of a quality pen and ink, especially as they are more likely to be able to read my handwriting when I do. It inspires them to introduce a bit of old-fashioned quality into their complicated lives by finding a nice pen and taking pride in the traditional skill of handwriting. This ink arrived more rapidly than expected, which was good as I'd accidentally ordered before going away for a few days. It was a good price too, especially with additional discount for recurrent order of more than one bottle (although I'm highly unlikely to write enough to need more ink when the order is automatically repeated). I wish the same supplier would do red, but I have to source that elsewhere - hence will probably cancel the repeat order as it's possible to have too much ink all of one colour!

Good, traditional parker ink. I was worried by the state of the box, which showed signs of leakage but the bottle is perfectly sealed, so it must have been from another bottle.

its the old style quink- dilutes beautifully and suitable for fountain pen

Great product, great price.

Works well

It's black ink! Parker are of course known for their fountain pen and ink products, and considering the price of this I was expecting it to be worse than the cartridges always have been, but it's literally just the same stuff. It seems to dry a bit faster than the cartridge ink once it's on the paper but I have no numbers to back that up.My main point and the primary factor behind wanting to buy this ink is the lack of plastic waste; the cartridges use a lot of plastic and (at least where I live) only specialists can recycle them, thus they can't go into regular recycling and often end up in landfill.This pot of ink uses less plastic (almost none, the collar & lid are plastic but the jar itself is glass and can be cleaned) and is WAY cheaper than using cartridges. If you have a pen which supports it, I'd highly recommend this option over the more "modern" option of using plastic cartridges (which hold about 0.8ml of ink each, for context).Regarding price...12 (~ 0.8ml) cartridges of this ink, at this time, will cost you £4.12, which is only 9.6ml of ink and a load of plastic waste. This pot, at the time of writing, is 57ml for £5.85.Pot: 10.2p per mlCartridge: 42.9p per ml
