Parker Jotter Fountain Pen, Black Metal Body, Medium Point, Blue Ink, Includes Gift Box

The Parker Jotter is a very nice pen for the price . It is a little smaller than most fountain pens but it feels very comfortable in your hand . Writes smoothly, no skips . Entry level pen , you won't be disappointed .

I own two of the Stainless Steel Medium Point Parker Jotter Fountain Pens. They are a joy to write with. For me, they offer the perfect amount of writing resistance and ink flow. I'm not a pen snob. My sense of self worth is not tied to the dollar value of my fountain pen. I've used M*nt B*a*c and P*l*k*n fountain pens costing over $500.00 each. In my opinion, the $19.00 Parker Jotter Fountain Pen is much more comfortable to write with and provides a better tactile feel. And, if I happen to lose one or break a nib on one there's no reason to get upset... it's a sub-$20 pen! This pen provides greater vakue than it costs. It would be worth the price at $50.00! The reason I have two is I write exclusively with my Parker Jotter Fountain Pens. If I had only one pen I'd be changing the ink cartridge at least once a day. BTW, the ink cartridges are good for maybe a dozen pages of writing. It's a function of me writing a lot... not a small ink cartridge. Bottom line... Great everyday carry fountain pen!

Perfect pen. I have to have a good pen. This one writes like butter. Best money I ever spent.

Comparing this to the JinHao 750x, TWSBI Eco, and the Pilot Metropolitan series, it's something in-between. The nib is smooth and small, but the whole pen is small. Great for small hands or if you need a non-obtrusive looking pen. I bought the Parker Deluxe Twist converter for it. When I got it, I cleaned it out with some Rohrer & Klingner Reiniger Fountain Pen Cleaner, then flushed it thoroughly with distilled water, then let it dry for a few. I filled it with my favorite Noodler's Eel Ink, and let it sit for a few. Took it out, and it wrote excellent. The medium is a little bit on the bold side, so I can imagine that with a thinner ink (the Eel ink is designed for vacuum pens for lubrication, thus thicker), it might write a little bit wetter than normal. That can be adjusted by tightening the tines to your liking. As for it running the Eel ink, it's fine. The feed on this pen is bar far right among the closest to the JinHao 750x in terms of keeping up with fast writers or heavy doodling (line filling, etc).The nib feeling is about equal to the JinHao 750x, but maybe closer to the Pilot Metropolitan. Someplace in-between those two pens.Overall, it's a nice cheap pen, that will be just as durable as a JinHao and the Pilot Metropolitan.Curious to see how smoothly it will write after running a couple tanks of ink through it, or if it will need any adjusting. So far, I'm pleased with it's writing performance.Only thing I don't care for is the way the cap goes on. It touches the tines and I can see it messing them up if I (or another user) puts the cap on "not thinking". I can also see ink getting inside of the cap doing this too many times (capping and uncapping a lot). That could've likely been easily fixed during the R&D.

Quality Parker Fountain Pen ... Most of my high school and college years I used a fountain pen because it was easy to have quality ink available and I liked the smooth writing of a Fountain Pen. Over the years I have moved away from fountain pens and used the gel-ink ballpoints, but when I found this pen available on Amazon, I decided to give it a try... Not disappointed, the writing with this pen has brought back the pleasure of a good fountain pen with a dual supply capability (refill tank & cartridge) and many years of writing with a good fountain pen is relived. Sadly, the art of writing letters to friends and family has all but disappeared with the advent of the computer and email and phone texting. I have returned to the joy of writing to friends and family, the messages are more permanent and can be treasured for years to come. Highly recommended, great price and quickly shipped in secure packaging.

The description of the pen sounds like this is an exceptional quality pen. The pen is fine, but no more than an average, good pen.The gift box is just a simple paper box, I would not call it ‘gift box.’It comes with only one ink cartridge that you need to put in. Thus, that’s the only one. The impression is that the pen comes with two extra cartridges. It’s no big deal but why mislead customers.

If you like fountain pens (or just really fine writing instruments) you'll like this one! Great balance. Light weight, but still feels solid in your hand. Smooth ink delivery and a really enjoyable writing experience. It's simple and classic-great for everyday use, but still distinctive because, well, it's a fountain pen.
