it works tho so 1 star.

However, I only give three star because, when I opened the package, the cover of the bottle was already broken and it leaks all over the place

I was going to give this ink 1 star, my experience was just as bad as the other 1 star reviews here: watery, gray green, not black, uneven, not really permanent, and on my only Parker pen with a cartridge, it actually leaked!Pens tried with: Lamy Safari, Hero 329, Papermate, others I don't recall, result is the sameThen I tried something I had not tried before, I bought a Parker Converter for my Parker Classic pen, strictly for the purpose of trying to determine

Unfortunately it loses a star for actually being a blue-black --with some consistency problems, however one of my favorite go-to inks for everyday use

n’t notice a problem until the pen started dripping at the seam

Dries very quickly but not as dark as I would like.

The pen scratched more as if there wasn't a good flow of ink.

I use this with my Jinhao X450, and Bulow X750 pens, as well as with my dip pen

I personally love this feeling, as it allows more artistic expression when using the Parallel Pens

I use it to write on regular college ruled paper as well as in notebooks for taking class notes

the packaging wasnt as pretty as in the picture but its the same thing

I immediately installed it in my fountain pen and it works as it is supposed to.

great as always

Looks like blue ink, works as it should, no issues.
