Parker Jotter Fountain Pen | Stainless Steel with Chrome Trim | Medium Nib Blue Ink | Gift Box

Product Information

While the nib writes smoothly enough for an entry-level fountain pen, the flow of the ink could be better. The words written with this pen will be noticeably light, and not due to the type of ink used. It’s likely that the ink flow isn’t very powerful, which is what causes the words to appear lighter in color. Price Lighter pens tend to be favored by newer users as they have to adjust to the feel of working with the specialized nib. But experienced writers who’ve become accustomed to using heavy pens might struggle to get the ink flowing from this pen properly. The Parker Jotter fountain pen is a new take on an old design. It draws its inspiration from Parker’s classic Jotter ballpoint pens. They’re made from the same material, and share the same shape with a similar length. A medium nib is a great place to start for fledgling fountain pen writers as it gives you a good amount of line variation without having to put too much pressure on the pen.

When opened though, I feel like the grip section and the collar that connects the nib feels a little less thought through. There is a noticeable edge where the grip section connects to the body. It writes fairly smoothly as Parker nibs have always been known for their exceptional quality and ink flow. Though like many fountain pens, it might have some skipping within the first few times using it. This can be caused by dirt or air bubbles in the feed from the manufacturing process, and it can be easily flushed out.
