ParkerJotter Fountain Pen, Stainless Steel Body, Medium Point, Blue Ink, Includes Gift Box

still in love for paker

Exactly what I needed

Pen by itself is great.Though it listed as medium nib pen. when tested with parker ink, trace is too wide to be useful for daily writing.

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!

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 .

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.

I would say I’m fairly new to the fountain pen game. So as a newbie, let me share my experience with this pen.1. The pen looks great. It’s thin, sleek and looks great.2. This pen does not come with a converter for ink, but it does come with an ink cartridge. I have not jumped into the bottles of ink even though I’ve heard its the best way to use fountain pens.3. It wrote well right out of the box, but the drag on the pen is really annoying to me. I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong with this pen, but the drag and skips are horrible. Again, I’m using a cartridge, but I have cleaned the nib and done all the care instructions with the pen, but as I write on any kind of paper, I find myself having to start a letter 3 or 4 times before it starts writing. For example starting to write an I or an F or H, I have to draw the line 3 times before it shows up. The drag feels like nails on a chalkboard to me.4. I was wondering if this is just the way fountain pens were, so I decided to buy a Pilot Metropolitan since so many recommend it as a good beginner pen and compare. What a difference. No drag, extremely smooth and absolutely no skips. I’ve thrown my PARKER in a drawer, and would return it if I was still in the return window. Just not impressed.I realize this pen is not extremely expensive, but I expected more. Now that I have this other pen that was even less, I feel like I was robbed with the Parker pen.
