The ink color varies by pen color. Blue color has blue ink, red color has red ink, green color has green ink. I purchased the blue color which has blue ink color in the pen. I do not believe this comes in black.

The pen comes with a blue ink cartridge. You can purchase black cartridges on Amazon, or I suggest getting a converter and using bottled ink, as that's much more cost efficient and you can change colors whenever you want.

Sorry to say that I had the same problem with the color cartridge. The Black Cartridge works as far as printing, but it's unable to track how much ink is available.

Unless the ink color has changed, the traditional blue ink refills for Parker (made by Parker, not the gel, but regular ink) are kind of turquoise color. That's what I like most about them. I prefer the blue to the black. To me, they look somewhere between a turquoise and royal blue, depending on the paper you're writing on.

I have now used 1 full black and started a 2nd and it all comes out as true black. If someone is having that problem it's most likely because they have their printer set wrong. If you try to print in black but the cartridge is empty or not installed correctly the printer tries to make the black using the color ink.

Wasted my money. I only tried the black ink. My printer would not recognize any of them

I am so sorry... I do not know the answer to that question. I did not know there were differences in inks. However! It seems to me the very first time I printed something out with these cartridges that I bought that the black ink did not seem as dark and clear as ink from Office Max. So maybe this is why. Hope this helps.

My go to ink for being "bullet proof" against water or any other mayhem is Noodler's. Noodler's 54th Massachusetts for BLUE or Noodler's Black. Hope that helps.

The ink itself is invisible, but under the black light on the cap, it is the purpleish blueish color black light tends to be. The pens I received were pink and purple ones with designs on them, but all of them have the same ink inside.

I have noticed the same situation when ordering. However, It was cheaper for me to order combinations with the black ink than ordering colors without.

A good question to ask the vendor! The inks are not compatible with each other. (go for the dye)

Mine came with lamy blue. Good color, performs well. It's worth buying the converter since ink is fairly cheap by the bottle and you're going to want to explore color options eventually.
