Parker 51 ink
It was fast drying and also a lot more saturated with color than other
contemporary inks. In actual fact, it was problematic for, I suppose, other reasons, too and was eventually discontinued. It was, in many ways, a lot like the modern Penman .... with similar problems. Stick with good old Scrip or Quink .... they've been around for so many years cuz they're just flat good ink. I know there are other brands with brighter colors and yadda yadda yadda ...... but if that's what you want, you also run the risk, in certain cases, of doing some damage to your pen. That damage may only be cosmetic, but it could also be worse. If you're feeling brave, the original ink for the 51 - called SuperChrome - is still commonly found at flea markets and shows. If it looks reasonably good you can try it out and see how you like it. Messer wrote: hello Parker used to make some ink called "51" for use with their famous "51" FP only. What was so special about it? I heard that it gave the pen some kind of "speed" , but what does it mean really? More glide or a generous flow? Was it much diferrent from "Quink", that was produced along with "51" as far as I know? |
