Sheaffer Pen 96400 Skrip Ink Cartridges, 5/PK Reviews

Customer Ratings:

On a certain level ink is ink how much more can you say about it? There certainly are questions of durability, strength, permanence (also known as washability), and the tendency to bleed through a typical sheet of paper. On those counts Sheaffer Skrip is outstanding, especially in terms of durability and strength. What I particularly like about Sheaffer's Skrip is that it is less likely to bleed through a sheet of paper to show on the other side. As far as washability/permanence goes, both brands can be got out by pre-treating with Simple Green or hairspray (or both). Better still, Skrip works fine in my Sheaffer cartridge style fountain pens, but also some of the later production Esterbrook fountain pens. And more importantly Skrip is available in a far wider variety of colors than other cartridge-style pens (and their own bottled ink!) including turquoise, purple, orange, green, and brown. This gives writers a broader palate to express themselves, something to think about if you like writing with a little flair! While that won't likely lead to a renaissance of fountain pens, it certainly could liven up your daily writing. And thank heavens for online retailers, as these cartridges are getting harder and harder to find in retailers outside of stationary stores and pen shops.

The ink colors aren't as dark as I thought they'd be -the green and purple in particular are almost pastels. But the ink is smooth and flows well, so I like the product, though I may not buy the multi-pack again.

These ink cartridges are remarkably easy to install inside the ink pen. I really like having control over the ink color!

Honest reviews on Sheaffer Pen 96400 Skrip Ink Cartridges, 5/PK

So far I've only used the red, so I can't speak for all colors in the packet, but it doesn't dry up quickly in my Sheaffer fountain pen, writes smoothly, and it's fun to see red --even if I'm not grading papers!

I normally buy all-black ink cartridges for my Sheaffer pen. When I learned of these cartridges, I was so excited. I imagined myself writing in glorious shades of purple and green and blue. Oddly, the colored ink in this package is all remarkably black. The package indicates that the inks are colored, but each one is as black as the next. I'm not sure if I received a defective package or if Sheaffer's idea of red and green is very different from mine.
