ParkerIM Rollerball | Mattschwarz mit Chrom-Zierteilen | feine Spitze mit schwarzer Tinte | Geschenkbox

We have used parkers for a long while in our family. Mostly fountain pens.Saw this on Amazon and decided to pick it up.Not disappointed. Looks a little different from pics but not in a bad way,At first, the light body put me off but then realised it's aluminium and offers a good writing motion.Looks elegant and classy and for what you're getting for the price, pretty affordable.

Great for giving someone as a gift and i loved the case of it which gave a gift and its looks were really classy i really liked it :)

Great customer service. And solid pen performance .. ink last monthsI'll buy again trustable seller

I love it

Beautiful pen. Classy. Well constructed.

The box was damaged which is really bad because I ordered it as a gift.

To be frank, this is a clear downgrade on the previous model, and has introduced cost saving measures which are far too obvious.To start positively, this is still an acceptable pen and writes smoothly, and the added shaping on the pen lid, and detail on the chrome trim can be regarded as good progress. However, perhaps the worst change on this pen was changing the brushed metal 'handle' with cheap plastic. From the pictures I had presumed that this was black lacquered brass (much like the pen body of other pens in the series. This is not the case. A poor feeling (and in person looking) plastic is used instead - to the detriment of the pen. To the fingers it is just tactilely disappointing, however, the weight loss in changing to plastic has resulted in higher centre of gravity on the pen and makes it less pleasant to use. Don't get me wrong, I like heavy pens - it is the weight distribution that here has been sacrificed for cost.Further changes made for cost efficiency that ruin the pen are on the lid. There is a large hole gouged into the metal underneath the wide part of the clip, and a hole underneath the part where the clip connects to the lid body. The clip itself is far weaker and very manoeuvrable. Perhaps the holes would be acceptable, but when the clip is able to move 0.6mm horizontally from it's equilibrium position, with no bending or effort, then it is poor design. It also means that just from being in your pocket, the finish on the lid is marked from the movement of the clip.To the reader of this review, I would personally suggest spending a little bit more and see either if you can get the older model, or find a different pen.To Parker: I absolutely loved the previous model, and would much rather you had increased the cost rather than ruin the legacy on probably the best pen for a budget. This may be a newer model, however, in most important attributes it is undeniably worse.

Parker pens might have something of a 'perfect for the older person' image problem thanks to Michael Parkinson and those life insurance advert giveaways. However, truth be told, Parker have always made some really rather nice pens in the mid-range priced sector of the market. Sure, a rollerball is a rollerball (regardless of price) if all you are looking at is whether it lets you write or not. If you want something that is going to last, rather than a disposable item, then for this older gentleman (is early 50's older gentleman territory these days?) Parker hits the spot.This is your genuine article, not some cheap far eastern clone. The packaging is impressive if you are giving this as a gift, but I'd have preferred a blister pack option to keep the waste down if I'm honest.The pen itself is a delight to hold; perfectly balanced in the hand if you ask me. Although I am a professional writer (a veteran technology journalist and author with some 30 years in the business now) my work-a-day writing tool is, sadly, the keyboard. So it's really nice to have a 'proper pen' for when I'm jotting down notes, writing poetry for my partner or even making a shopping list.There have been some complaints in the reviews that the rollerball ink flow is patchy, especially at the start of writing. However, I don't find this to be the case. The supplied Parker 'Quink' fine black refill behaves exactly as I would expect it to and, again, is a delight to use.

Le produit est qualitatif même si je suis déçu par la couleur qui est censée être bleu mat. Les photos associées à ce commentaire montrent que le stylo est de couleur noire en lumière normale et bleue foncé en forte lumière. Donc pour moi la couleur à l'oeil nu n'est pas conforme. J'aurai préféré un bleu plus clair. Il ne doit pas y avoir beaucoup de différence entre le modèle bleu et noir. Dommage !Cela ne gâche sinon pas la qualité du stylo.Je suis plutôt content de mon achat compte tenu du prix qui reste correcte par rapport à ce que l'on pourrait trouver ailleurs.Les +:- Le système de fermeture du stylo avec le capuchon est impeccable. Le stylo ne nage pas dans le capuchon qui n'est pas creux. Un revêtement intérieur maintient le stylo. Je ne m'y attendais pas.- Les touches de chrome qui rendent plus qualitatif le stylo.- Sur feuille de papier standard l'encre sèche vite.- La recharge fournie est fine et cela se voit à l'écriture.Les -:- La couleur non conforme à mon goût à l'image du produit présenté comme évoqué précédemment. Possible que les autres couleur soient plus proches des images du produit.- L'attache à tendance à rayer un peu la peinture du capuchon.- Le léger surpoids peut être fatigant lors d'un usage prolongé.Il y a deux choses qu'il faut bien prendre en compte lorsque l'on évalue un stylo. La qualité du stylo et la qualité de la recharge d'encre. Souvent liés car très peu de recharges compatibles il est nécessaire d'acheter la même marque.La tenue en main du stylo est une chose importante pour le confort. Dommage que le peu de recharges existantes et qui vont sur la plupart des stylos de la marque en ternissent l'image.Certains évoquent que la pointe de la mine accroche sur le papier, effectivement cela se produit occasionnellement et cela est principalement lié à la recharge et non au stylo en lui-même. Dommage que les notes du produit ne prennent parfois que la qualité d'écriture qui est liée une nouvelle fois à la recharge et non au stylo et à sa tenue en main.En bref vous pouvez prendre un stylo de cette même marque à plus de 100€ et pour autant utiliser la même recharge d'encre, cela accrochera aussi le papier. Une recharge d'encre à 6€ peut dégrader l'usage global du stylo qui pourrait avoir coûté bien plus.L'usage de stylos qualitatifs (autre qu'un stylo à 3€) est de plus en plus rare (informatique oblige!), dommage que l'on ne puisse pas tester avant l'achat.Petit message aux différentes marques pour le prêt et l'essai de différents modèles pour trouver celui qui convient le mieux.En espérant que mon commentaire (dont j'ai pris du temps a écrire) soit à vos yeux le plus objectif possible et vous soit utile pour votre choix.Longue vie à votre stylo.Un stylo est personnel, ça ne se prête pas.

My wife likes a nice pen, and this was a stocking filler to add to her collection of "nice pens". The only complaint I have is that it only comes with a blue refill, and she prefers black. Is this a supply problem, or should I change my wife?

I received the metallic 'premium warm silver colour golden trim' matching the 'lacquer black golden trim' version my husband has been using since the summer, hence I have several months of testing this pen range..During my student years some 30 years ago, I used nothing but Parker pens because they could cope with fast scribbling when taking notes in lectures. More recently, I have almost given up using pens in favour of the keyboard and found that those few ballpoint pens I do have, either dry up or become blotchy through lack of use. In contrast, this Parker pen is completely forgiving: if not used for a few weeks, the ink still flows freely with no need to shake the pen, scribble on scrap paper to get it flowing again or wipe any clogged ink with a tissue.In common with all Parker pens I have used, this pen is high quality both in its design and construction. Although the pen inner is plastic, it has a strong and durable brushed aluminium outer casing with an engraved criss-cross pattern to the upper silver section while the lower gold section is smoothly brushed. It is supplied with a medium stainless steel nib and blue 'Quinkflow' refill - other colours and thicknesses are available but this is always my preference. The ink flows smoothly and consistently and with never any scratchiness.At 95mm wide where held, it is broader than the 'stick'-type ballpoint pens making it naturally easier and more comfortable to hold than the thinner types, particularly when used extensively or for older people or more arthritic hands. It's a good weight - feels substantial without feeling heavy and is well-balanced. Despite so rarely using a pen now and finding them a little awkward to hold, it has just seen me hand-write the annual batch of Christmas cards and letters to distant relatives with no discomfort.The pen arrives smartly presented in a sleek gift box, strapped to a flocked and padded card base and is accompanied by a multilingual warranty card making it ideal to offer as a reassuring, traditional but modern, quality gift.
