While googling, got this different image of Parker Quink bottle. I haven't seen this before.

 

Is this new design?

Yes.

From a person's actions, we may infer attitudes, beliefs, --- and values. We do not know these characteristics outright. The human dichotomies of trust and distrust, honor and duplicity, love and hate --- all depend on internal states we cannot directly experience. Isn't this what adds zest to our life?

I don't see what's different. If you mean the two diagonals at the bottom of the bottle, then that is just an illusion. It's a flat bottom that is just partially covered by paper.

Yes. The bottle sits in a slot in the horizontal part of the inset card.

I hadn't seen Quink bottles in blister packs before. At least not here in the US.

The local Staples sometimes has one to three bottles (in boxes) in stock. I've considered picking up one as a backup, just to let them know bottled FP ink is still being used, but there's other inks I like better -- plus I still have something like half a bottle of what came with the Parker Urban set I bought 3+ years ago when I was (temporarily) replacing the Vector I'd left at my brother-in-law's house in CT.

I bought both Washable Blue and Blue Black at Staples, just because I was amazed to see bottled ink there.

 

WB is a great testing ink, and it is also good for getting remnants of old ink out of old pens. BB is a mystery ink, looks different colours on different papers. Always fun :D

Parker Quink Blue Black is a really nice colour when it is wet.....but it dries (or fades quickly) to a teal colour which is not that attractive. And this happens to me on all sorts of paper.

 

I don't really use it for anything but for testing pens, as I really don't like the colour it goes too.

Thanks for the link. That was a very interesting video.

I'm still trying to figure out how to list all my pens down here.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
