Parker Jotter Originals Fountain Pen, Classic Finish, Medium Nib, Blue & Black Ink

This is my first fountain pen, and I am SO HAPPY with it!!! It’s perfect for writing, and I personally use it for drawing. When you first use it, it will take a couple minutes for the ink to be flowing completely. But once it’s all through then it works smoothly! I love how it comes with black and blue ink, and I ordered extra ink as well. It has a great design and is super comfortable to use. I definitely recommend!

I have one of these pens, purchased in person in Germany which has served me well. The pen itself is nice, unpretentious and writes well enough for me.I bought myself a second identical Jotter on Amazon which arrived with a cracked barrel and would not stay assembled reliably. Damage may have happened in transit as the pen was in a plain shipping envelope that offers no protection. Other pens I've bought have had similar damage, getting snapped in half in transit! Debating whether to try buying one with a metal barrel (which could end up breaking the nib instead of barrel), or one packaged in a gift box for better protection in transit.

I am an Executive Assistant, I write a ton so I like nice pens. I was gifted a pen from my company when I started that was customized with our logo and I absolutely loved the way it wrote. The pen ran out of ink quickly, they gave me a few more, I ran out of ink again so I am on the hunt for a new pen that I can purchase and keep on stock at all times.While I am still searching for a pen similar to the one I have, I am glad I ordered this pen. It has an executive look, feel and writes well. I do recommend this pen.Pros:-Executive look and feel-light weight and easy to hold-writes well & does not smudge (unless you run your finger across your writing immediately)-great price point for the qualityCons:-Only con for me was that the ink felt like it was a little dry right when I started using it but I guess that can be replaced.

Update: I was wary of just how cheap this pen felt. I was using it a few times a week on light duty just to keep it from drying out while a Lamy Safari did 95% of my daily writing.Well on the third refill change, the junk plastic body cracked just screwing it back together.Junk. Absolute junk.On one hand I love this thing. Writes great. Very smooth, nib is very comfortable and not too stiff. With the cap on the back it's very balanced. It's a great every day writer for me.On the other hand this thing is literally all plastic and very light at that. It doesn't feel like much more than the plastic you would have on a cheap cap ball point.It looks good. I can't tell you about durability because I pack my pens neatly and securely and haven't had any encounter where it would be put to the test. But I'm pretty sure it would not survive it.It's great if you're putting it on your desk and grabbing it for meetings and notes. If you are carrying this thing around in your pocket, you're probably taking a risk of it breaking there.And I'm a huge jotter fan. I have no issues with it for what it is, but I am a road warrior, and if I need to grab a pen and leave my bag, this isn't the one I am throwing in my pocket or attaching to a notebook.

It's an inexpensive fountain pen. It's well made, the cartridges and "converter" (Piston ink pump) fit well and don't leak. Ink flow is good and the pen is nice to write with and reliable. This would be a good pen for a school child, it's less likely to be stolen because it would be fairly uncommon in a school, and it's refillable so running out isn't an issue if they have a bottle of ink with them. The materials, though thin, are high quality too. I expect the pen will last years if it's taken care of.

Great pen for us old timers who like the real deal.

I bought this classic for my collection!Love my pens.

The medium nib makes for a bold line. The pen glides easily accross the paper, but occassionally it will skip.
