Parker Fountain Pen Ink Bottle, Black QUINK Ink, 57 ml Fountain Pen Refill

Overall very pleased. It writes smoothly and is deeply pigmented (not thin). I don't know the proper terms that experienced fountain pen users use but this ink seems fine to me.I do wish it was richer on the blue and a little less "dark" Not sure how to describe what I'm looking for except that I'm trying to get the color of Schaeffer (in the little round bottles with built in "well.") from 40-50 years ago. They made cartridges with the same color. I grant that buying based on color rendition on a screen is not the same as buying in person.For my purposes, this will do very nicely.

Nice ink. Dark and flows in the pen well.

Bottle cap was cracked

The bottle seems fine and the outside packaging was in great shape but the box the ink itself came in was all torn up and the bottle was dusty like this was old and sitting for a long while with no care. But ink seems fine. For the price it's fine just putting this so if anyone orders it just know you may get one with a damaged box but the glass bottle was fine and no ink leaked. I also haven't had any big issues with bleed through on the papers I'm using it on, I put this ink in a couple of fountain pens, one being the Junhao 10.4 stars just because of the condition of the box and dust on the bottle.

Love the bottle design. It feels like “grandpa”. Ink is rich, deep and flows well. High quality ink.

As expected from Parker - good ink. Flows well, bold line, no clogging so far. Writes smoothly when run through good nib.

It's not an exaggeration. For me, this is the best black ink currently in production. For some context, I never thought i would even use Quink- I have always been satisfied with the legendary 7 Skrip inks (five of them are, for me, the archetype of their colour class: Black, Red, Peacock, Turquoise and my favorite Blue-Black). These are inks from a time when an ink didn't have to have a catchy name or flashy packaging- All of them are definitive ink their respective colour classes. For reasons I will never understand, Sheaffer discontinued them after 60 years and relaunched new colours. At least they brought back the rather awesome old bottle style... but I find their complete antipathy of heritage insulting.Because I use both vintage pens and fairly dry pens, I needed a non-alkaline, low-viscosity, unsaturated black ink. Skrip has always been my go to. It handles fairly well on crappy paper and really makes every pen -particularly dry ones - feel better. That ink had an 'oily' feel to it and though it is a less saturated ink, often as a result of the good flow, it will show darker than other more saturated inks. And it cleans out of any pen with water only. (In fact, I have sometimes used skrip to help 'flush out' stains or old, dry ink from a feed.. )There are plenty of inks that have two of the three above qualities. Two inks left that do all three: Waterman and Parker. Of the two, Parker is the one i prefer. It still does all of the things that Skrip did just about as well. They both have a nice warm tone to my eye. For clarification, I love and use Aurora, Herbin, Sailor Black, Pelikan 4001 and Diamine Onyx black, but in this one context, Quink reigns supreme. For vintage/ wet pens I use Pelikan. As Quink is the most general use and friendly ink, usable throughout the most applications, I value it the most. The price does not hurt as well.I'll use Perle Noire or Kaweco Black Pearl in vintage pens too, but those (and Aurora) are so saturated, it's harder to clean them out. Also, Kaweco is soo wet, it feathers very easily on lesser paper. None of these inks, to my knowledge, are permanent on paper, Pelikan and Herbin probably do the best in this regard.
