Thank you for this review of the British equivalent of Pelikan 4001 Königsblau - Quink ‘Washable Blue’ is an easy-to-use, easy-to-clean-up ink that many of us Brits used throughout our schooldays.

 

Quink ‘Washable Blue’ lubricates the nib beautifully, yet dries rapidly on the page.

Like Pelikan 4001 Königsblau & Waterman Serenity Blue it is easily washable, and it is erasable. Like those two erasable inks, it can fade rapidly on some papers. I presume that those papers contain one of the same chemicals that is in ‘eraser pens’ such as Pelikan’s ‘Super Pirat’.
