"Parker" permanenet black fountain pen ink as refill ink?
I read somewhere that some have had success in using "Parker" permanenet black fountain pen ink as refill ink? If it's true, than printing in black would become dirt cheap ...... :-) Has anyone here tried? |

I wouldn't like to try it on modern printers, but I do remember a dentists surgery here in the UK that successfully ran their Canon BJ10s (early bubblejets) on bottles of blue Quink. -- regards, dslr |

It used to be the standard ink to refill hp cartridges in the days of the
Olivetti J150's and HP deskjets. as I recall it worked very well and caused no damage to the HP cartridges, it is guarenteed not to clog the Parker ink pens and so it didn't clog the cartridges, you can use other colors ie Red and Blue if you flush out the cartidge with water several times. I haven't used it for years but in it's day it was the best. but now of course you have hundreds of suppliers of quality inks. I know it works with the HP's but up to you if you try with any other printer God I'm getting old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "Smith" wrote in message ...

I remember using Sheaffer Skrip on my old DJ500. It worked every time. I
wouldn't consider trying it on the newer printers like my three Canon's but I do a lot of refilling on these printers with Sensient- Formulabs ink from www.alotofthings.comand and it works perfectly. Your post mentioning using different colored fountain pen ink made me think of doing just the reverse. Instead of putting fountain pen ink in an inkjet, how about using refill ink in a fountain pen? I occasionally like to use a fountain pen for writing checks and other documents instead of a ballpoint. I wonder how well the refill ink would work in a fountain pen? Some interesting colors could be achieved by mixing a few drops. I haven't tried it yet, but when I get a few spare moments, I just might give it a shot. -- Ron Cohen "FRED" wrote in message news.com...

Don't most pens use pigmented ink? Most home/office inkjets use dyes for color and black, although HP still uses pigmented black on most printers. -- If there is a no_junk in my address, please REMOVE it before replying!

Don't most pens use pigmented ink? Most home/office inkjets use dyes for color and black, although HP still uses pigmented black on most printers. Fountain pens use water based dye inks. Drawing inks and calligraphy inks may contain varnish/shellac/binder and or pigments and should never be used in a fountain pen. If pigmented inks are used they will most likely lead to clogging in fountain pens. See numerous discussions on alt.collecting.pens-pencils archives (Google). Parker Quink or Sheaffer Skrip are some of the safest inks made. My trials at using printer ink for fountain pens led to too much flow, feathering and bleedthru. I suppose printer ink would work best in fine or extra-fine nibs instead of the medium and broad that I usually use. --Ben |

I suppose printer ink would work best in fine or extra-fine nibs instead of the medium and broad that I usually use. That makes it harder to swap ink types. HP uses pigmented black in most models, so using pen ink probably wouldn't work well. And using HP- oriented black in a pen would clog it. -- If there is a no_junk in my address, please REMOVE it before replying!
