Parker Quink Ink Cartridge Pack of 5Parker Quink Ink Cartridge Pack of 5 The Parker Quink is a high quality and smooth flowing ink that has been used for almost a century. Quink ink was developed in the early 1900's as a revolutionary ink that eliminated the need for blotting. Cartridges keep ink contained so replacing it is a clean process, and are fitted with ink reserves ready to be released with a tap when pen is low. Permanent ink lays down smoothly, dries fast and won't smear.
