Parker Quink (Blue Black) Review


Needhelp

Recommended Posts

This is the written review of the parker quink blue black and it is a very nice decent performing inexpensive ink that doesn't bleed through cheap paper.

S

Also if the ink is getting low you can tip the bottle on its side like shown.

Thank you. I grew to like this ink, a lot.
It has a long term residency in one of my Parker 45s.

Wished they'd call it something else though :unsure:

Is that Washable Blue or Permanent Blue? I was In a local Staples today, and they had Permanent Blue cartridges in stock (back when I started with fountain pens again, Permanent Blue cartridges were what I used); but they no longer seem to sell bottles of Permanent Blue in the US.

ETA: Oops. Sorry -- didn't notice that it was Blue-Black being reviewed. Please disregard the previous.... :blush:

I've always liked this ink, and the permanent Blue, and can forgive it for appearing 'teal' on some papers after time. A great all-rounder that's readily available and won't harm anything! I prefer it to the old Waterman Blue-Black, even though some people in some circles claim them to be one and the same, made at the same place in France.

A nice review and thanks.

One of my first inks. The washable one at least. From my experiences with it, I think it's the worst ink I have. It has this unique ability to fade off my lecture pads. The colour also looks very washed out.

Even the washable blue was my first ink but when i write something and i need to stick some pictures behind the writing it instantly disappeares and i cant write on that part again so annoying.

Thanks for the nice review. I just got some and will enjoy trying it out. Quink blue is a very dry ink, requiring a lot of added detergent to bring it up to my specs, whereas Quink black is moderately wet. Will be interested to see where blue-black falls on the wetness scale.

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
