Five Star Reviews: | 68% Best black ink I've tried out of 5 different ones July 18, 2016 This stuff is as good as any designer ink out there. If you just want a good, standard, black ink then this is most definitely the way to go. It costs less than most other name brand inks. Not to mention that fact that I've tried black inks from other more expensive manufactures and still I feel that this black is more impressive looking on paper than all the rest of them every time I use it. If you need a perfectly functional, truly black ink, you certainly can't go wrong with this one. Still a Great Product April 6, 2016 I bought a fountain pen not realizing that they make them now to actually use ink and not the old ink cartridges I used years ago. And you would think I could go to an office supply store and find ink, but I couldn't. I couldn't find it anywhere. So....Amazon to the rescue.There are some very expensive inks out there and names I don't recognize. But Parker - there's a name I know! I think the last bottle of ink I saw from 40 years ago was probably Parker. And the price was great. And I wasn't disappointed. Great ink and still a standard all these years latter. Good performance and value September 28, 2015 I have some fountain pens that write incredibly wet, and thought I'd try a different ink (I was using Hero carbon black ink). Parker Quink did help immensely; the ink flow is much drier than the Hero ink, but still wet enough to prevent hard starting or give any feedback on the page. This is also a much cleaner ink than the cheaper Hero ink, as is doesn't stain the inner parts of the pen, and there is no nib creep at all. When it comes time to disassemble your pen for cleaning, luke warm water will remove any dried ink or stains.I've noticed there is some shading in this ink, but it's nothing I find unwelcome. In all cases of shading, it looks more like a blue-black than black, and I personally tune my pens to write a bit dry anyway, so many users may not even see shading. Overall, good performance and value. MUCH better than the factory converter June 12, 2015 I'm not sure if this is the case with all Parker pens, but mine was shipped with the kind of converter that slides up to load. I bought this converter, because I could never fill the sliding one all the way, it always got airlocked and it was generally a pain to use.This one fills without an air bubble, or a very small air bubble and it turns exceedingly smoothly. Very rarely, however, the nib gets a little dry when you are half full or less, but you actually can just twist the handle a few times with the nib upward and you're back in the game. With the slider one, I couldn't do this without splashing ink everywhere. This one has much better control. Good valued fountain pen ink! April 9, 2015 I use this ink in my Pilot Metropolitan fountain pen and it writes exceptionally well. Very dark, black ink. Not too much grey in it. Very good price for the amount of ink you get. I have only used this ink in my Pilot pen for a few days but seems like it is going to work perfectly in this pen! Good color and size is the same November 2, 2011 I have good fountain pens and like a strong bright blue ink. From the available brands, I took this one after comparisons and it is very good. It also washes off your hands if you get stained during filling. The size (despite the various brands calling it oz or ml) is about the same. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Four Star Reviews: | 17% This ink is like your old nylon belt September 19, 2017 This is a pretty good amount of ink for not much money. It isn't a joy to write with; it doesn't dazzle (whatever that means); it fades a little with time; it's a little bland...BUTIt's washable, cheap, abundant. Most importantly, it's like the old nylon belt I'm wearing right now: I got it at Goodwill for $1, and it's so reliable that only as I began to write this review did I even remember the old fresh-dog-poop-brown nylon belt currently holding my pants up. This is the most salient feature of reliability. Just get a bottle for back-up or something.It's also classic Parker Quink. Why do you hate America? (I think it's French actually), but still. Works fine August 20, 2017 Works as expected and seems to be a high quality product. I was a little surprised that it didn't seem to hold as much ink as I would have expected, but that might speak more to my expectations than the product. Workhorse ink. May 25, 2017 Nothing exciting here, but it works. Not nearly as deep of a black as the Pilot blacks. But it dries a little faster. Using it on cheap paper (Field Notes) it has noticeably less feathering and less bleed-through than other inks, meaning this is a good ink for using on cheap paper. Good, but it depends on the paper March 2, 2017 I received this bottle in the mail this morning, so take this review with a grain of salt (aka I don't yet know if the ink dries up in the nib like people say). But I have a few observations right off the bat!I'm using this ink with a pilot metropolitan, if that changes anything. One thing I noticed right away after my first time writing is that the ink does appear slightly blue like people claim it does. However, I'm a person who is very sensitive to colors, so that being said, if you aren't comparing it to another black ink, you would probably still assume it is black upon first glance. It isn't glaringly obviously blue, but it is more of a stormy grey, kind of like the color of the Pacific Ocean during winter.However, one thing to note is that this blue tinge only is obvious on warm-colored off-white paper (creamy like Moleskine). I tried the ink on one of my bright white sketch papers, and it looked excellent, very pigmented and undeniably black. The first paper I wrote a sample on was cheap, warm-toned journal paper, and the second sample I wrote was on higher quality paper (not made for fountain pens, but still, sketch/drawing paper). Maybe it has to do with the absorbency of the paper, and maybe it has to do with the undertones of the paper, but either way, since I'll be using this more for sketching, I'm satisfied with this ink. I don't regret purchasing it, even if there probably are blacker inks out there. Dependable and fast drying, but a little thin February 15, 2017 (Black ink) A little bit light, but that's the trade-off for a low viscosity that means my pen will write right off the bat every time. Still looks good, and dries quickly. Another reviewer noted that Jinhao pens s/he had that were troublesome worked great once switching to this ink, and that was my experience too. It wasn't the pen, it was the cheap Jinhao ink. Works well, bottle not high end March 19, 2016 The ink looks bluish when swirled around the top of the bottle, but does come out black. I wish the bottle had an inkwell to help fill the pens like my last expensive bottle of ink did, because right now you just have to dunk them in there. But it looks the same as the expensive ink when you write, so I guess I can't complain. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Three Star Reviews: | 7% I like this ink so far June 30, 2017 I like this ink so far, but it was too bad Fedex destroyed my packaging and tried to tape a soggy, partially disintegrated box back up. The packaging melted and the cap came loose so half the ink was all over the inside of the box. It got on the waterproof backpack I ordered. Let's say I won't have to worry about this ink coming off. It works April 25, 2017 It does the job, however it does look like the black ink is a little light I don't know if the mixture or if this due to when it was shipped (temperature) that caused the ink to feel like its broken but it does work. Not the greatest choice of ink. August 23, 2015 Not the greatest ink.This ink is very sticky, very, very sticky. It will not flow through the pen quickly enough to keep up with your writing, meaning that by using a converter, you will have to sometimes twist it down to make sure the ink is traveling to the feather, or you have to tap against it like a doctor does with a needle so that the ink will flow quickly enough. Writing with it is also somewhat exhausting as it doesn't have that "flow" that one would normally wish for his fountain pen ink to have. I recommend this ink for either very smooth pens that might be able to make up for its shortcommings somewhat, or for pens who are so scratchy anyway, that this ink will not make a difference to the writing.Otherwise, a decent ink. Doesn't look that brilliant, but it gets the job done. $8 for 2 oz is a good deal, but if you really want to write, get some waterman ink. It works, but only just. July 9, 2015 I write in a daily journal and switched over to a fountain pen awhile back. The cartridge in my Lamy Safari lasted quite awhile but it was blue and I didn't want to use that for my daily entries. So after it was gone I switched over to a converter and bottle ink. This ink is VERY FAINT! It's possible it's the paper in my Moleskine but as heavy and full the lines were with the cartridge this ink is just the opposite. I even went through scores of YouTube videos to see if there was a step I was missing in filling the converter, there wasn't. If I'd have read further in the reviews I'd have seen that it is not a permanent ink and can be washed with just warm soapy water.TL;DR It's a decent ink but will not leave a heavy line when you write. Thank you very much for this lovely package, someone ... February 23, 2015 Thank you very much for this lovely package, someone must have very carefully wrapped the fragile box so that it does not fall apart. I know this is a special treat for me, thank you very much, I would prefer being treated as an ordinary customer rather than a special one.The ink itself seems ordinary though, bit lighter than I thought, but that's expected. Not the nicest ink imaginable May 27, 2014 Right up front I admit to not being a fountain pen expert, but I do love the couple that I have. This ink is a nice color, though it's not an extremely dark blue. But it seems to dry up in the nib really quickly (even overnight) and sometimes I even have to use water to get it going again. It also blurs very easily and quickly if the paper gets damp at all. It does seem to last reasonably well; I get about 2 weeks of use out of each cartridge, doing a moderate amount of writing at work. I'll probably buy them again, since they fit my specific pen, but I could wish they were somewhat better. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Two Star Reviews: | 4% Lid came broken March 8, 2017 Ink works fine but packaging was awful. Box the ink was in was old and torn and the lid was broken on the side but the ink thank goodness didn't pour out. I dont like it because it dries up too fast May 10, 2016 I dont like it because it dries up too fast.If i dont use my fountain pen for 1 day, i have to play with it to get it to work again. Colored Water February 27, 2016 This is too transparent. Compared to much cheaper inks, this feels like watered down ink. The package is horrible, nothing tells me this isn't fake, bottle has no safety seal and the box is a joke flimsy and opened. Will not buy again, spend extra on better quality ink, or less on still better quality ink. only for some pens December 12, 2015 I seldom post negative reviews.. and honestly this ink could work in some pens. I had a nitemare though in a nice pen....It is FAST drying... and I now will use it sparingly in only the safest and tested inexpensive pens. Trashing an expensive pen and having to do a complete cleaning and worrying about if the pen will write again is a nerve wracking experience..It is a washable ink, that is fast drying and reasonable on poorer paper. If you want thisI would say this is fine and a value, but take care if you have a nicer pen as I asked my Fountain pen friends and they report other horror stories of this ink clogging., For me, it was skip, not ink skip shack swear etc...Previously and now again this pen writes effortlessly.... but not with this very suspect ink.But if you are using a steel nib in a med with a often used pen, I loaded two JinHo 450 value pens and they seem to be fine with it..... buyer beware "Black" ink is really blue for some reason July 15, 2015 I'd already bought 4 bottles of Park Quink black, worked perfectly each time. However my recent bottle of ink is REALLY blue. Checked if I had accidentally ordered blue-black, nope I had ordered black. Also the ink isn't saturated enough and bleeds on page (compared with my old drawings I had done with quink black WITH THE SAME PEN) Not sure if they changed the way they make the ink, or if I just happened to get a bad bottle. Much much lighter than before. January 27, 2015 Maybe Parker changed their "blue". I realized that once I got the package the packaging was different but I used to buy them in France and just assumed it was the difference of country. However now that I compare my previous notes with the new ink it is a completely different shade of blue. Much much lighter and gets even lighter as it dries. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
One Star Reviews: | 4% Standard international converter sent when purchasing a "Parker Converter". ... May 15, 2017 Standard international converter sent when purchasing a "Parker Converter". Does not work with pens notes in item description and no returns authorized. Stay away. Buy vintage Parker's not the new pens. DO NOT BUY THIS INK: IT'S TERRIBLE. March 20, 2016 This is by far the most terrible and disappointing product I've ever purchased in my entire life. If you're seeking a blank ink that not only appears light gray on paper, but also clogs your (expensive) fountain pen, this is the ink for you. I would be embarrassed to use this ink on any document and I'm hoping it didn't damage my pen. Spend the extra ten bucks to buy a quality ink and spare yourself the distress: DO NOT BUY THIS INK. Good at Wasting Time December 1, 2015 I can only speak for myself: this ink sucks!! It jams in my Pilot pen, so badly that I can't write at all! Unless you want to waste time unblocking your pen when you are studying, DO NOT buy it. would not recommend it to anybody with fountain pens October 31, 2015 the ink is very sticky, so it get stuck in the pen making it unable to write many times, would not recommend it to anybody with fountain pens. I wished it worked December 25, 2014 Looks good, looks like it would work but I can not get it to work. I swapped it out, I filled it no problem but in the pen it does not work. I tried to screw in the plunger to get some ink out and it comes out but will not write at all. Not sure what else to do One Star October 14, 2014 This thing got broken in no time and ink is constantly leaking. I tried to fix it using tape. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
