Description

The Parker Quink Fountain Pen Ink Bottle in Black earned its place as a classic. First introduced in 1931 — its name a clever blend of “quick” and “ink” — Quink revolutionised fountain pen writing by drying fast enough to eliminate the need for blotting paper. Nearly a century later, writers around the world still reach for it daily, from students and everyday note-takers to seasoned pen collectors who know exactly what they want in an ink.

Parker’s story began in 1888 in Janesville, Wisconsin, and grew into one of the most iconic writing instrument brands on the planet. The Quink ink range sits at the heart of that legacy — formulated to the same exacting standards Parker applies to its pens, and manufactured in France to deliver consistent, professional-grade quality with every bottle.

The Black delivers a deeply saturated, medium-flow lay-down with smooth, even coverage across a wide range of nib sizes and pen types. Added lubricity keeps the ink flowing effortlessly, while the quick-drying formula keeps results clean and smudge-free — whether you’re journalling, note-taking, signing documents, or working with a dip pen. Medium water resistance makes it a dependable choice for everyday personal and professional writing.

Parker designed the bottle with the same care that goes into every product in the range. The wide, stable glass base keeps the bottle steady during filling, and the tight-sealing screw-top lid locks in the ink between uses to prevent leaks and evaporation. Functional and refined, it looks just as good on a desk as it performs in the hand.

Quink Black works beautifully with Parker fountain pens and most converter-fitted fountain pens, and performs equally well with dip pens, calligraphy nibs, airbrush setups, and paint brushes — making it one of the most versatile inks on the shelf.
