Sheaffer Skrip 50 ml Bottled Ink Washable Deluxe - Blue

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Product is good quality as expected for the brand

Grear colour. Smooth ink flow. Easy to refill the pen

satisfied with purchase

Produit original Sheaffer d'excellente qualité. Rien à redire

I purchased this for my Sheaffer pen because it was recommended. Nice ink and flows well

The Sheaffer inks have always been a solid and safe choice for any of my pens especially the vintage models. It has good flow and has never had any problems. The blue could be a little more saturated but it's still a very nice shade. It's always been a reliable choice for any fountain pen.

シェーファーのインクはすごく気に入っています。 カートリッジで使用していましたが、コスパが良いボトルを購入しました。 ボトルは、他のメーカと比較すると大きめです。

Like so many other kids who started elementary school in the mid-1960's, I grew up using a Sheaffer Cartridge Pen. My teachers required us to use blue ink, and I remember my favorite being Sheaffer Washable Blue. I recently found my old school pens in the back of a drawer, and each of them had an old dried-up ink cartridge in it. After cleaning the nibs and cartridges, I ordered a bottle of Sheaffer Deluxe Blue and used a blunt syringe to fill my cartridges, wondering if the ink would live up to my fond memories. Happily, it did! Deluxe Blue seems to be the same shade as the old Washable Blue, and it flows just as smoothly and dries just as quickly as I remember. It's a lovely, medium blue that shades nicely and cleans up easily. Furthermore, at 50 ml for less than $15.00, it's a great value. Very highly recommended!
