Parker Quink Permanent Black

Here is my review....

Thank you for this review. I am a leftie and for me it is always important to know how quick an ink dries.

When I use black it is Parker Quink Black.

This was my very first bottled ink and it was my preferred cartridge before that. I still have a bottle, but don't use it as much. It's a nice black, and I always thought it behaved well on the cheap paper I use a lot.

[PolarMoonman]

Yes it does exceptionally well on cheap paper which I use ALL the time!

I've had a bottle for years and I've just inked an old Waterman pen (circa 1940) with it. It is quite a good partnership - better than the same pen with Waterman Florida Blue! And the best part is when I opened the bottle it smelled like ink. A forgotten pleasure.

I am also a left hander and this week I'm attempting to change my style from a lifetime of overwriting to underwriting (I hope that's the correct term). Wet pens/ink and overwriting is a poor combination. I must admit that it is an interesting experiment.

 

Thanks for the review.

I actually just finished my first bottle of Quink Black (non-water proof). It lasted almost 1.5 years of continual use, but now I'm using Aurora Black; I just wanted a darker ink. I'm curious though when it comes to Quink Blue, so might pick up a bottle...

I don't care much for Parker Quink Blue (nor Sheaffer), I'd recommend some Parker Quink Blue/Black, it has a beautiful hue, although it does fade, but this can be corrected with red or black ink mixed in with it. Blue/black is the primary ink I use.

I like Quink blue-black too, but I also really like Sheaffer blue. I don't like Quink black, any black really.

I've tried so many black inks, and I keep coming back to Parker. Waterman is really pretty good, but only in some pens. It comes out gray in most non Waterman pens. Sheaffer black is good, but bleeds through most of the cheap papers I use. (But not terribly.) I really like Private Reserve Black Velvet , or is it Velvet Black. Anyway, it's a beautiful black ink, but it also bleeds through. So Ikeep coming back to Parker. It works for me, and it's one of the least expensive inks around. Never had a problem with it, so.....

Just thought I would fire off a quick post. I have been playing around with a Speedball A5 nib on a straight nib holder. My Quink Black has about 3/4 of an inch in the bottle so it is a perfect dip level. I am getting a nice dark black color on Neenah Classic Crest paper. On Rhodia notepad paper it has a bit of a thin line for my taste. My Sailor Jentle gives a nicer line on the Rhodia.
