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

I never review anything. I win or I lose. The $15 for this pen and two cartridges made me speak up. I have a smattering of pens and pencils from the last ~100 years in my desk. This pen is the BIC Crystal of fountain pens. My own silly hobbies aside, my friend who loves the Pilot V7 is now a cheap Parker convert. I'll be looking for a generic Parker-compliant converter eventually, but those cartridges last about as long as an actual BIC Crystal ballpoint tube. No skipping, no drips, uniform lines, it's basically just a regular pen if you can ignore the nib. But bold and smooth and whatever else you get with fountain vs. ballpoint/rollerball/gel etc. It's not fancy, but it does what it's supposed to do very, very well.

I am an Executive Assistant, I write a ton so I like nice pens. I was gifted a pen from my company when I started that was customized with our logo and I absolutely loved the way it wrote. The pen ran out of ink quickly, they gave me a few more, I ran out of ink again so I am on the hunt for a new pen that I can purchase and keep on stock at all times. While I am still searching for a pen similar to the one I have, I am glad I ordered this pen. It has an executive look, feel and writes well. I do recommend this pen. Pros: -Executive look and feel -light weight and easy to hold -writes well & does not smudge (unless you run your finger across your writing immediately) -great price point for the quality Cons: -Only con for me was that the ink felt like it was a little dry right when I started using it but I guess that can be replaced.

I have one of these pens, purchased in person in Germany which has served me well. The pen itself is nice, unpretentious and writes well enough for me. I bought myself a second identical Jotter on Amazon which arrived with a cracked barrel and would not stay assembled reliably. Damage may have happened in transit as the pen was in a plain shipping envelope that offers no protection. Other pens I've bought have had similar damage, getting snapped in half in transit! Debating whether to try buying one with a metal barrel (which could end up breaking the nib instead of barrel), or one packaged in a gift box for better protection in transit.

The medium nib feels more like a fine nib. It does not flow continuously. Very good value. OK quality.

I use fountain pen regularly but never bought Parker because its kind of bold although they say its medium Nib. At the beginning I did not like its plastic quality but I always loves its cap which is made of metal. it write smoothly with out stopping in between. you just took out and start writing, unlike other fountain pen you need to give a shake and say hey wake up. Now its my go to pen for office. I bought a ink filler and it work well. I wish Parker would also sale fine nib. Go for it.

Update: I was wary of just how cheap this pen felt. I was using it a few times a week on light duty just to keep it from drying out while a Lamy Safari did 95% of my daily writing. Well on the third refill change, the junk plastic body cracked just screwing it back together. Junk. Absolute junk. On one hand I love this thing. Writes great. Very smooth, nib is very comfortable and not too stiff. With the cap on the back it's very balanced. It's a great every day writer for me. On the other hand this thing is literally all plastic and very light at that. It doesn't feel like much more than the plastic you would have on a cheap cap ball point. It looks good. I can't tell you about durability because I pack my pens neatly and securely and haven't had any encounter where it would be put to the test. But I'm pretty sure it would not survive it. It's great if you're putting it on your desk and grabbing it for meetings and notes. If you are carrying this thing around in your pocket, you're probably taking a risk of it breaking there. And I'm a huge jotter fan. I have no issues with it for what it is, but I am a road warrior, and if I need to grab a pen and leave my bag, this isn't the one I am throwing in my pocket or attaching to a notebook.

Parker pens are a personal favorite, and I own lots of them. This is a classic Parker design that performs well. Only hiccup was getting cartridge to start. Fit seemed a bit off, but I was able to connect it with lots more force. Writes like a dream.

Pen is cased in plastic. Hopefully it will last a bit!

Excellent pen!

It's a good pen if you have fountain pen paper, i don't, so it becomes a bummer to try to do my daily notes with the pen and ends up being bad, it's either buy proper paper or get a different pen if it's to be used in normal paper. Generally i can say it's a good fountain pen.

La escritura es muy buena
