Ink Quality and cleaning

[Crocker7]

I own a Parker Vacumatic and was wondering if there are better inks, to use, when it comes to ease of cleaning?

Thanks!

There are some which are easier to clean out than others, that’s for sure.
Generally speaking as higher saturated an ink is as nastier is it to clean out (in many cases).

But normally this only will bother you on a ink change or when you put it back unused in a drawer.

Great thanks! I just realized I should have posted this under the ink forum

I’ve just posted it there

I used Sheaffer's or Montblanc ink in a Vacumatic. Cleaned out fairly easily, and I hoped for longer sac life using black or blue black, midnight now for Montblanc. The red, purple and saturated inks I use in C/C pens.

If you are searching for a recommendation of inks which are normally easy to clean I would recommend e.g. Pelikan 4001 or the Rohrer&Klingner inks.
The inks of both brands proven their liability since decades (and are not highly saturated).

But as said these are only examples, there are many easy to clean inks out there.
