ink review: parker quink blue black

Parker Quink Permanent Blue Black is a workhorse of an ink that I’m sorry I waited this long to try out. First developed in the late 1920’s, it was regarded as a revolutionary ink that eliminated the need for blotting. It remains, to this day, one of the most popular fountain pen inks in production. Parker’s version of blue-black is moderately saturated and allows for a modicum of shading in a fine nib.
