Has Parker Changed Quink Bottle Design?

While googling, got this different image of Parker Quink bottle. I haven't seen this before.

 

Is this new design?

Yes.

I don't see what's different. If you mean the two diagonals at the bottom of the bottle, then that is just an illusion. It's a flat bottom that is just partially covered by paper.

Yes. The bottle sits in a slot in the horizontal part of the inset card.

I hadn't seen Quink bottles in blister packs before. At least not here in the US.

The local Staples sometimes has one to three bottles (in boxes) in stock. I've considered picking up one as a backup, just to let them know bottled FP ink is still being used, but there's other inks I like better -- plus I still have something like half a bottle of what came with the Parker Urban set I bought 3+ years ago when I was (temporarily) replacing the Vector I'd left at my brother-in-law's house in CT.

I bought a bottle of blue black about a year ago and it came in a blister pack. The bottle was normal shaped though

I bought both Washable Blue and Blue Black at Staples, just because I was amazed to see bottled ink there.

 

WB is a great testing ink, and it is also good for getting remnants of old ink out of old pens. BB is a mystery ink, looks different colours on different papers. Always fun

Parker Quink Blue Black is a really nice colour when it is wet.....but it dries (or fades quickly) to a teal colour which is not that attractive. And this happens to me on all sorts of paper.

 

I don't really use it for anything but for testing pens, as I really don't like the colour it goes too.

They probably changed to avoid being mistaken for lung cancer ink
