Sheaffer Skrip
Why is my black fountain pen ink coming out gray?
I just bought a Scheaffer broad nib Viewpoint calligraphy pen. It came with blue and black Sheaffer Skrip ink. I put the black cartridge in and attempted to get the ink flowing with little success. I finally washed the nib, thinking some particle was in the way or something, and started writing. The ink now flows, but it’s gray. I’ve been writing quite a bit, thinking maybe it was just a temporary thing, but after using quite a lot of ink, it’s still gray.
What should I do to get the ink to come out properly? I’m assuming it’s a flow issue.
And now it’s back to not working at all….
The grey is watered-down Black Ink, you have to let the pen dry out after washing it.
Try washing it out again and letting it dry, then insert the cartridge following the instructions, sometimes it will need encouragement to flow, squeeze the cartridge until you get a droplet of ink on the nib, and write with it, if the flow is still not working try shaking the pen vertically (make sure you do not hit the nib on anything as this will damage it permanently).

Calligraphy Ink Cartridges green $4.05 Sheaffer has upgraded its ink cartridge design for improved functionality – delivering better color identification and transportability. The color of the cartridge is now the same as the ink, making it much easier to identify the color of ink inside. For Jet Black, Blue, and Blue-Black the cartridges remain transparent but now they have an end cap which clearly identifies the ink color. This new feature still lets consumers easily see the level of ink in the cartridge. In addition, the new cartridges are now transportable. This is possible as the new cartridges can only be pierced on one end. This allows a traveler to carry an un-pierced cartridge in a fountain pen chamber, without the risk of leakage during transportation, and especially during air travel – a common concern among fountain pen aficionados. 5 per pack, compatible with White Dot Classic, Cartridge, and Calligraphy pens. These are the refills for the Sheaffer Callir |
