Risk Assessment Comparison

Parker Bottled Ink: Product Benefits Conventional Plastic Ink Cartridges: Drawbacks
Superior Health & Safety Hidden Health Risks
Housed in an elegant glass bottle, eliminating the plastic contact and associated plasticizer risk of cartridge casings. Plastic cartridges are low-quality plastic that can leach minute amounts of chemicals into the ink, and the waste is hazardous.
Guaranteed Lifetime Durability Short Lifespan & High Waste
The high-volume bottle ensures years of use, and the high-quality ink protects the pen's nib for long-term performance. Requires frequent, messy replacement (often monthly), maximizing component waste and handling hassle.
Best Long-Term Value High Compounding Cost
Bottled ink is dramatically cheaper per milliliter than cartridges, saving hundreds of dollars and providing superior financial value. Requires continuous, high-cost purchasing of low-volume cartridges, resulting in high compounding lifetime expenses.
Zero-Waste Commitment Significant Environmental Impact
Eliminates hundreds of plastic cartridges from landfills, actively promoting a clean, circular office economy. Cartridges are small, mixed-material plastic components that are non-recyclable and are a major source of permanent plastic waste.
Effortless Performance Maintenance Headaches
Added lubricity ensures a smooth, reliable writing experience superior to basic cartridge ink. Cartridges often run dry quickly and can sometimes fail to feed ink smoothly.

WHAT TO KEEP IN MIND

  • Requires a Converter
    This ink is designed for bottle-filling, which requires a PARKER converter (or equivalent) in your fountain pen, purchased separately.
  • Potential for Spillage
    Bottle-filling requires care and concentration. There is a risk of spilling the ink compared to the contained system of a plastic cartridge.
