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

An amazing pen for the price and excellent value for money. It writes beautifully. I've got other more expensive fountain pens and this is definitely as good if not better than some of them. I can't recommend it highly enough.

I bought this Parker fountain pen for my son; it is a Parker - just as I remember from school. For the price, it is a delightful writing companion that has exceeded my expectations. Its simple design adds a touch of sophistication to any writing experience. Writing with this pen is smooth and effortless, creating beautifully formed letters and strokes. The pen's durability and ink capacity ensure long-lasting performance, especially with the extra ink in the cartridges for when you run out - I had forgotten about that! Whether you're a dedicated writer or appreciate the art of penmanship, the Parker fountain pen is a must-have if you are after a simple good fountain pen. It's a timeless treasure that brings joy and elegance to every word written.

Lovely writer, but be careful not to screw the barrel too tight when replacing the cartridge. Mine has already developed a hairline crack around the thread part of the barrel. It doesn't affect the way it writes, and hey it was cheap enpough to replace when it finally goes, so I've only deducted one star. I've already bought a second one on offer at less than £8. You can't go wrong at that price. You can only use standard Parker cartridges with it, but I have a cheap (blunt) syringe and I refill cartridges from bottled ink of whatever colour I fancy. Additional note. The crack in the plastic barrel is now proving a nuisance as when trying to remove the cap it's easy to pull the barrel off its screw threads. Disappointing because it really is a lovely writer.

This is my favourite pen. Im still using it. In my opinion parker are the best fountain pen makers. This is only a cheap & cheerful jotter pen but its outlasted all my more expensive ones.

One of the most beautiful pens I have written with, it’s a great balanced weight, smooth and doesn’t scratch or pull on any paper. Great choice of colours, I chose black and it’s very easy to grip and doesn’t slip when writing

I have a lot of nostalgia around parker pens. Got my first parker as a hand me down from my father in my school days and since then, I am in love with these pens. Unfortunately the quality of these pens is not what it used to be. It is a good pen to write with but serious issues of longevity. For comparison, I bought a used parker 45 from ebay which is still going strong after around 40 years of use. I would be lucky if the jotter would last a few months. It is a good pen, if you consider it as a disposable option that needs replacing every few months.

Good value for money.

Updating review after another day of trying to use this pen. It is bloody dreadful, no matter what I do the ink simply doesn't stream effectively out of the pen, constantly dry and useless from brand new. Do not waste your money.
