    Default Lunchtime ink review: Parker Quink Blue-Black

    Lunchtime ink reviews! I'm taking one ink to work each day and doing one of these during my lunch.

    Parker Quink Blue-Black, dip test with TWSBI Eco 1.1mm stub, on Rhodia dotpad.

    Definitely very blue for a blue-black! (The very lightest shade is a little brighter than it should be).

    This looks very nice. It must be the new formula BB.

    I've still got 'loads' of the earlier 'teal' version so will have to root out a bottle of the new sometime soon, to give it a try.

    That color looks fantastic. If it is comparable to Quink Black (mostly well behaved, medium flow, works in all but my driest or wettest pens) then it would be a bargain. Thanks for the review.

    It'll be interesting to see if it goes tealler over time - some reviews of the new version mentioned that it may fade to teal over a few weeks. I got the bottle new in 2018 from the local WH Smith.

    If they got the chemistry right, the change in color will depend on the paper's cehmistry .... should be fun to watch
