Parker IM Achromatic Fountain Pen — Matte Black, Black PVD Trim, Medium Nib
Fountain penAll-black AchromaticMedium steel nibGift box
The Parker IM Achromatic Fountain Pen 2127742 is an all-black capped fountain pen — matte black lacquer with black PVD-coated trim, clip and nib — fitted with a stainless steel Medium nib and supplied with a blue QUINK cartridge in a Parker gift box, for people who want a discreet, modern-looking pen for the office or as a gift.
The Achromatic edition takes the dependable Parker IM — lacquered brass body and cap, balanced weight, smooth steel nib — and removes every bright accent, so the pen looks understated next to a laptop, a leather notebook or a dark suit.
Before you order: Parker fountain pens take Parker QUINK cartridges, not standard international cartridges. A converter for bottled ink is not included.

What It Means in Practice
- Ready to write: fit the included blue QUINK cartridge and start.
- The Medium nib (approx. 0.7 mm point) gives a confident, even line on office paper and suits signatures.
- Black PVD on trim and nib keeps the all-black look; PVD is a hard-wearing coating rather than paint.
- Gift-boxed — a safe choice for colleagues, clients or graduates who prefer a sober design.
What Will Not Work
- Standard international cartridges from other brands — use Parker QUINK cartridges.
- Bottled ink without a Parker converter (sold separately).
- Engraving or personalisation is not included.
- Ballpoint or rollerball refills — this is the fountain pen version.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the black finish wear off?
The trim and nib are PVD-coated, a hard physical coating used precisely because it resists wear far better than paint.
Which cartridges does it use?
Parker QUINK cartridges. Black and blue-black QUINK are available if you want ink to match the pen.
Is there a Fine nib version?
Parker offers the IM Achromatic with other nib widths under a different article number; ask us if you prefer Fine.
