Sheaffer Skrip 50 ml Bottled Ink Washable Deluxe - Blue

I really like this ink, it flows smoothly and the colour is a rich royal blue that dries nicely and seems to fade less over time than the Quink royal blue washable. Doesn't seem to dry out or clog up my pen. Being a little clumsy it's good to be able to wash it off or out of clothes easily.

Shaeffer Skrip inks have always been one of the better quality fountain pen inks available although not especially expensive. Unlike some brands, it is very free-flowing and non-clogging in any brand of pen. In the past, it was almost always Parker's ink except when it was unavailable and when it may then be whatever else the retailer would have. It was by using different brands that differences between them became evident and brand allegiance also changed after which it was mostly either Shaeffer or Mont Blanc's inks and never again Parker.Colours also vary between brands, even when supposedly identical, but it was almost always blue (occasionally blue-black) that was used and Shaeffer's blue a particular favourite equal to that from Mont Blanc. Having not used a fountain pen for some years, it was recently decided to again use one, hence the choice of this ink.Unlike in years past, the bottle is now plastic, essentially unbreakable and is shaped to help draw ink even when very nearly empty.

Very practical bottle design - not easy to tip over and very stable when filling. Ink not as light in colour as the Sheaffer washable ink I remember from my schooldays. It's now a standard royal-blue colour. I prefer it to the other manufacturers' inks I've tried and would order again.

Ink does the job well, but the bottle is hopeless - especially if you want to move ink to your inkstand. It is quite ugly as well, not to mention the horrific plastic box in which it comes.

Product is good quality as expected for the brand

Very nice ink and the colour is lovely. Flows beautifully and would definitely recommend

Have used shaeffer ink in cartridges before with excellent results and the bottled ink doesn't dissapointed .

works well also with pens other than Shaeffer. Flows well and does not clog. Happy with it.
