Parker IM Rollerball Pen, Fine Point, Matte Black with Black Trim, Black Ink Refill, Gift Box – Ideal for Smooth Writing, Students & Professionals

Great Starter Pen
I have long wanted a fountain pen, but my handwriting is so poor I have hesitated to spend $200 or more on a pen. I saw this pen and decided to try it. I’m glad I did. It’s a great looking pen. It writes very well, even for my clumsy cursive. It’s a good fit for my hand and the nib really glides over paper. The pen does use a lot of plastic where an expensive pen would use metal. Because of the plastic construction, this pen could develop cracks or even break if not used with care. This is most likely to happen when inserting a new refil. It takes force and could easily crack the plastic. I have solved this by using the awl on my Swiss Army Knife to puncture the seal of the refill. This makes it much easier to insert. An ice pick or similar instrument would work. If you are looking for an entry level fountain pen, this one is hard to beat.

7/10 good pen
pros: i have to warn my coworkers every day to not steal my pen. it’s a fantastic conversation starter. it’s gorgeous.cons: the nib writes with a 0.7 mm line, does not split with pressure for calligraphy. when i use it very often, the base can come unscrewed and the pen becomes loose. the cap does not stay very well on the back of the pen. adding an ink cartridge might require more force than very arthritic hands can manage. the ink washes out with a water spill, so don’t drop your documents/sketchbook/notes or let it get rained on.pros: very good flow from the nib, but not overly so. ive had it for a month and a half and it hasn’t ink-stained anything. it rescrews easily when it becomes loose from overuse (see above) and is only noteworthy if gone unnoticed for too long, as then the whole thing will fall apart. it’s happened twice to the extent that i was confused why the nib kept turning when i tried to write, an easy fix. apparently can work with an adapter for other ink cartridges if you want to change the ink to a different brand or color. i love the arrow styling of the clip on the cap. it’s a gorgeous pen for a newbie to quill-tip fountain pens, fancy enough for a nice gift without being overly expensive or overly complicated. great for an icebreaker at work, school, or on the go; see a cutie? whip this bad boy out and write up a grocery list on a napkin, bada bing bada boom, now you’re talking and you’ve got a grocery list. add a malbec to it, you might try it later with the cutie over dinner.

Missing ink refill!
I love the weight and feel of this pen in my hand, and the way it writes, so I would have given it 5 stars except that the ink refill cartridge that is clearly described as coming with the pen, tucked into the bottom of the box, was missing. I’d bought my pen through the resale warehouse (sold and shipped by AMZ) and the product box had been opened before I received it, so perhaps a customer ordered the pen, swiped the refill cartridge and then returned just the pen for a full refund, thus getting a free refill. Not cool. Also not cool that nobody at the warehouse checked to make sure the product wasn’t missing any parts; e.g., the promised ink refill. I chose to keep the pen and placed two new orders to get two ink refills. The first cartridge (black) arrived with no problem but instead of the second cartridge (blue), plus another unrelated item (tea kettle lid) that I ordered, I received two sets of pillow covers. What?? Pillow covers? Maybe the warehouse staff is exhausted from the holiday madness, but, yeah, not cool to not get what I ordered and paid for and then have to hassle with returning something that I did not order and do not want (pillow covers).

Ótimo produto, uma canela linda, funcional de excelente qualidade.

1. Akıcılık (4/5):Parker’ın roller kalemleri genellikle pürüzsüz bir yazım deneyimi sunar. Bu model de istisna değil; mürekkep akışı düzenli ve kesintisiz. Ancak, bazı kullanıcılar uç ile kâğıt arasındaki sürtünmenin hafifçe hissedildiğini belirtiyor.2. Uç Yumuşaklığı (3/5):Uç, yazım sırasında belirgin bir sertlik hissi verebilir. Daha yumuşak bir yazım deneyimi arayanlar için bu durum biraz alışma gerektirebilir.3. Mürekkep Doygunluğu (5/5):Mürekkep yoğunluğu tatmin edici seviyede. Yazılar net ve belirgin, renk canlılığı yüksek.4. Titreşimsizlik (5/5):Kalemin metal gövdesi ve dengeli tasarımı sayesinde yazım sırasında herhangi bir titreşim veya sallanma hissedilmiyor. Bu da yazım konforunu artırıyor.5. Tutuş Dengesi (5/5):Metal gövde, elde sağlam ve dengeli bir tutuş sağlıyor. Ağırlık dağılımı iyi ayarlanmış, uzun süreli kullanımlarda bile konforlu bir deneyim sunuyor.***Dürüst olayım, rollerball olmasına rağmen çok yumuşak bir hissi yok. Bir Lamy roller ya da bazı Japon kalemlerdeki “yağ gibi akıyor” hissi bunda daha kontrollü ve hafif sert. Pürüzsüz kâğıtlarda süper ama biraz dokulu ya da düşük kalite kâğıtta ucu daha sert hissedilebilir.
