Jotter Fountain Pen, Stainless Steel with Gold Trim, Medium Nib, Blue Ink & Gift Box

This fountain pen writes beautifully — the ink flows smoothly, and it feels very comfortable to hold. The build quality is excellent, with a classic, elegant design. It’s a pleasure to use for everyday writing, and it also makes a thoughtful and professional gift for coworkers or teachers. A great combination of style and function.

A nice, sleek fountain pen. More towards the smaller size, it's still comfortable to use, yet small enough to keep in a shirt or jacket pocket.

I became interested in fountain pens for quite some time, but what prevented me from buying fountain pens were the price. Whenever I think of fountain pens, I tend to think that the more expensive the fountain pen is, higher the quality, durability the pen is. I decided to try the Parker Jotter as it was more cheaper, I bought black ink refills along with the pen itself (the pens have a cartridge instead of a converter). The pen has a nice weight to it, it is easy to hold, and writes very smooth. There were some moments where when I tried to use the fountain pen, the ink would not flow. I managed to get the ink flowing by tapping the cartridge or wiping the nib. As a left handed individual, the ink does not try as quick compared to gel pens, such as the Pilot G-2, so do expect smudging. Overall, I recommend this fountain pen to those who do not want to spend too much on a fountain pen and/or are beginners to using fountain pens. I definitely will look at Parker's other model pens as well as looking forward to learning how to use their converters.

Really nice writing and quality.

Love it and have been using this brand since my first ones back in the 70's when we had to use a fountain pen to write. ( back in South America ,Argentina to be specific) Never lost the pleasure of its fine craft for a decisively different penmanship .

Very nice pen. I'm able to write for literally hours with this pen when I've had issues with hand stain or finger pain from other fountain pens. I highly recommend getting a Parker ink charger for this pen, however. You will need to make sure it's a PARKER charger, though. A standard fountain pen ink charger will not work in a Parker pen. With a charger you can buy bottles of ink in any color you want and it's far cheaper and better for the environment than using disposable ink refills.

I bought this pen solely for the purpose of seeing for myself how thick should a medium line look like? I had purchased another Parker 45 NOS Medium nib from Amazon earlier. Because all of my previously purchased fountain pens has a Fine nib, I wasn't sure if the thick line I'm seeing from that Parker 45 is "normal" or not. Well I got my answer - according to my own collection of fountain pens, it seems that a medium point nib would at first show very thick lines, even thicker than Broad (from nib comparison charts). This usually happens right after it gets inked. It had happened to my Jinhao X450, my wife's Diplomat, W&B, Cross Bailey, the Parker 45 (all purchased from Amazon, and now the Jotter. What to do? Don't panick into thinking your pen is bad. Just store the pen nib pointing upwards, and start writing. Some Youtube video shows how to make a wet pen drier, or how to make a dry pen wetter - but remember steel is rigid and has a memory! I noticed that after I have used the med nib pen, the lines start to get thinner. Now all of the med nibs in the household write normally, not like the original super broad lines when they were first out of their box. And now, just like some commenters said on Reddit - your taste in nib size can and will change! I started out favoring Fine, XF, avoided Med. Now I appreicate the Med nib's characteristic to "float" across even cheap paper where a Fine would be scratchy and squeaky, XF would "trip over". One just has to loose the old hard handed habbits learned from using ball point pen & roller balls. This Parker FP w/ Med writes well, and it's sturdy. I like a steel pen with contemporary looks.

Got a few as gifts

Use it daily and have gone through about 10 refill packs and its still great. My favorite pen

Writes perfectly for me (M). I've put the Parker Piston Converter De Luxe C.C. in it instead of an ink cartridge using Diamine fountain pen ink. To be clear: the pen comes with one blue cartridge, the converter is not included.

This was a present for the grandchild who loves it

Ok

Rockstar of my writing Journey... one of the best In my collection.
