Will Add some more thoughts tomorrow into this Post

[The Good Captain]

I used this - back then! The current ink isn't the same at all and I've hardly used any out of the bottle I bought some months ago. I've been using Pelikan 4001 Brilliant Black when I want a black but might try the Waterman soon. Maybe one day a Noodler's one but that's going to be a while hence.

Have you had your's some time?

The bottle was from my parents school days, so its been sitting around for quite some time, this bottle was brandnew unopened though. Hopefully the bottle should last a decent amount of time, although using it everyday for exams I will use it much quicker

Time for some more comments, at the end of the day, you wan't to know weather the ink is any good or not for everyday writing. SO thats what i'm going to 'try' and focus on.

 

Here is an extract of some notes from a school book that i took today, this is the type of thing that i'm going to be doing everyday, with the pen and the Ink.

Its a nice, ink. Its got a very difintive smell, my English Teacher today, walked past and could smell the ink on the page and asked if it was 'Quink Black ink' and i replied with a yes

It dries a little slow, which is anoyying but workable, by the time i finished writing a page i can turn it and its all dry and everything which is fine.

It feathers a tad more than the Washable blue Carts, which again isn't really a problem and it isn't noticeable unless you look for it.

Its dark, really, dark, so it does stand out on the page which is useful, its easy to read on all of the papers/sheets and photocopy's i've written on so far.

 

its not waterproof at all, i spilt some water onto a page in a Science lesson today, and it just ran and faded really quick, so need to be careful of that.

 

Its a pretty good Ink, it works great, and i have a fairly large chunk of it left, so i'm going to be using it regardless

 

If anyone wants any other info or anything, let me knoww!
