5 large-capacity ink cartridges with blue Quink ink. Color: Blue. For fountain pens. Pack of 5. Quink is a portmanteau of 'quick' and 'ink' and means 'fast-drying ink'. Parker launched the first version in 1931 but has continually modified and improved the product. Today's Quink is very similar to the official ink, rarely clogs or smears, and dries very quickly. It is available in bottles, cartridges for fountain pens and rollerballs, as well as refills for gel and ballpoint pens, making it compatible with many different writing instruments. The Parker Pen Company was founded in 1888 in Janesville, Wisconsin, USA. It produces various writing supplies and is particularly known for its fountain pens and different inks. Numerous discoveries, innovations, and advancements in writing technology can be attributed to both chemical ink research and the dedicated and skilled designers and craftsmen of the company. Parker fountain pens, ballpoint pens, and inks are now used worldwide. The name Parker stands for ergonomics, innovation, and above all, the high quality of its writing instruments.
