Parker Jotter Chrome Fountain Pen, Medium Nib, Blue Ink

Admittedly I bought this pen in part to use for parts on an older Jotter (it was my first fountain pen, so it has some sentimental value) with a broken feed and cracked grip. That said, this is a workhorse of a pen that has never had trouble with skipping or hard starts unless the cartridge / converter is empty. It writes a little dry out of the box, and it’s not flashy or ostentatious, but it’s a subdued, classy pen that just works.

This is the first fountain pen I've purchased. It included a converter, and a cartridge. This was perfect since I did not purchase any cartridges. Lasted a long time, used the converter after cartridge emptied. The bladder/squeeze converter left much ti be desired. It holds very little ink and I had leak issues.Purchased twist converter which seemed to work better. Apparently those are extremely fragile, I dropped the pen once while capped and had a mess of ink to clean up.

This product is a rarity among fountain pens: slender body, all stainless steel, elegant and lacking ornamentation. With a converter, it writes fluidly; you should absolutely buy one even if you're reluctant to mess around with liquid ink. It slides nicely and fits snugly in satchel and backpack pen loops. It has no plastic parts that would make it feel cheap, and no rubberized grip to gum up in high heat or get nicked over time. It's perfect.

This pen is fairly good but it does not have a good feel to it. To me, it feels far too light. The nib is smooth on the paper and makes a nice line without skipping but the weight of the pen doesn't do the work for you. There should be some weight that allows you to drag the pen over the paper, making nice, smooth letters. Also, I found it too short but it is fine when posted (cap is put on the end of the pen). Overall, a decent pen for the price.

Okay, so I'm a pro ball point user. I use the jotter every day. But, I am new to foutain pens. So obviously, I would start with the jotter. It didnt work at first. I just put the cap on left it up side down for 10 min and came back and it's been fine ever since. The ink is crazy dark. Why isnt ballpoint this dark? I'm left handed, so I was worried about smearing. But it doesn't smear at all. If not drys complete instantly. The pen it self is small and light. Hard to use at first but you learn to appreciate it with use. I can learn to love everything kind of guy, but my first impression was satisfying

Scratching with inconsistent ink flow. Only reason I got this was because it was on sale for $11. Should’ve gotten a lamy instead. This fountain pen also feels very light and thin, which hurt my hand in a weird way when I write. The ink cartridge also malfunctioned, and I had to poke it open with a ball point pen. All in all a miserable failure of a fountain pen.

The pen is ok once you get it going. However, each time I try to use it, it takes forever for the ink to flow into the nib. I've tried storing the pen nib down, but nothing seems to help. No idea what the problem is, but it renders the pen virtually unusable

Clean design, well built (all metal body, comfortable plastic grip area). Super smooth nib, good ink delivery, well balanced while writing. I have several Lamys, Sheaffers, Pelikans, and other Parkers, but this is my go-to pen for writing a quick note. Even disregarding the low price, this is an awesome pen.

Very sleek.smooth to hold.writes likes butter.just the price is a bit high.

La pluma es bonita por fuera, es muy ligera, la tina este bien, aunque hay que "calentarla" antes de firmar algo por ejemplo, para evitar que quede a medias la firma, la recomendaría para un uso diario con el afán de llamar la atención, tampoco es una pluma que se vea de mucho lujo. Recomendada.

A small medium nib Parker Pen, which writes well, posted or not. I have relatively large hands. I bought it to be reminded of a similar stainless Parker Pen I owned in the early 1960s. Parker, like Rotring, makes a great point of stressing national heritage and craftsmanship. Both Rotring and Parker are brands owned by the American corporate, Newell Rubbermaid. 'German' Rotring writing instruments are made in Japan, and 'British' Parker pens are made in France and China. Ignoring the heritage claims, your are getting a well-made fountain pen. (Note that I had forgotten that Parker, its paperwork now covered in HRH heraldry, was originally an American brand.)

Es bonita, tradicional y no pesa nada, no se que tal se escribe con ella porque fue un regalo

in gewohnter Parker-Qualität. Ich liebe es mit Füller zu schreiben, da das Schriftbild deutlich besser ist und man nicht so fest aufdrücken muss wie bei einem Kugelschreiber. Dadurch ist das Schreiben mit einem Füller eine Wohltat für meine Handgelenke.Der Parker Jotter liegt sehr gut in der Hand, ist im Vergleich zum IM etwas schlanker. Er hat einen schönen Tintenfluss, der auch nach längerer Pause einen nicht im Stich lässt und sieht sehr wertig aus. Ein Füller, der auf jedem Schreibtisch hervorragend aussieht.
