FPR Indus ultra flex with Parker Quink Blue Black. Crusty video from a while ago. Just writing random words. Practising early 20th century business penmanship.

    <gasp!> TIL, Parker Quink Blue Black is still being made! I thought they stopped making it because I couldn’t find it anymore. Nobody had seen any in a while (this was pre-Internet). So I moved onto Supershow Blue. Looks like it’s time to pick up a bottle of Quink!

    Oh, your penmanship is beautiful too! Thanks for sharing.

      Quink (I spelled it wrong, thanks) is a cheap ink. And I mean that in a good way. Most other bottled ink is slightly to significantly more expensive per milliliter. And it performs reasonably well. Not my favorite by any means but a good workhorse ink to get some work done. Also supposedly gentle with vintage pens I have heard.

    That video made me a bit seasick.

    But I should practice my penmanship. I’m nowhere near your level.

      Yea the viewing angle is a bit odd and the focus is all over the place. I just put my phone on its side. For the penmanship the youtube channel “Perfect Biscuits” is really good and you can also download old manuals from archive.org like “Mills Modern Business Penmanship”. Modern in 1903 that is :)
