Parker Quink Washable Blue

[Ghosofat]

Earlier I said that my old bottle of QWB was producing writing darker than in the sample. I was using an Estie with a fine point 9550 nib. I had much the same results with a Parker 45 with a medium nib. However, using a newly purchased broad stub nib, a 2314b, the color appeared to be paler for some reason. Odd.

I use it all the time. A Sheaffer Javelin with medium point was too wet with PR American Blue, but is a superb performer with this ink. Also, it is very good for a FP ink on thermal receipts.

My personal opinion is that this type of ink fades badly. It will be of a nice blue colour but after a while the whole written piece will become "lighter" ...

 

Not my favourite ink but highly passable for normal usage

Any way to post any pictures again?

I see no pictures in 2010.

I was at a large German store and they only had black and blue Quink in bottles. Everything else was in cartridges....

In my local Staples, they carry only Quink in 3 shades: black, blue and another blue. No shade-name on box OR bottle label. Your guess is as good as mine, perhaps.

Blue is not one of my favourite colours to use but I do use it.The only two blues I have tried are Parker Quink Permanent Blue and Sheaffer Blue.I found the Sheaffer Blue not to my liking but have been happy with the Paker Qunk Permanent Blue.Have not tried the Parker Washable Blue but see it for sale very often at Staple Stores.May have to pick up a bottle and give it a try.

anyone find it too wet? i mean, i get bleedthru on printer papers - less/no bleed-through with noodlers HoD.... the color's light enough for me not to add water to "dry" it.
