Parker IM Fountain Pen, Black Lacquer with Gold Trim, Fine Nib - Includes Blue Ink Refill and Elegant Gift Box

In the first time was little hard but after was smoothly

This is my second fountain pen, and I am very happy with it. I would have been thrilled to have received this as a gift, and I would have assumed that it cost more than I paid. Line weight: My first was a medium weight Manuscript from Hobby Lobby (about $16-$20 I think). I saw some reviews of this Parker pen saying that it has more of a medium tip than a fine tip; however, this pen can write much more finely than my Manuscript. Nevertheless, this Parker pen can create lines almost as bold as my medium Manuscript, given enough pressure. I like this variation in line weight (though I am not yet skilled at it). Ink: This is also the second ink I have ever tried. Overall, I prefer it to the ink that came with my Manuscript, but there are some draw backs. The Manuscript ink tended to bleed more on some paper (like that in my paper-bound moleskin, which are my favorite and on which this Parker writes beautifully), but it also dries marginally faster than this Parker ink. I do like the color of blue in this Parker ink, but once dried, it has a rather low contrast with the paper that I dislike. I plan on trying Parker's black ink to see if it has the same problem or not. One advantage to this low contrast, however, is that it visually signals the driness of the ink. Left-handedness: I am a lefty (over-writer), and this pen works very well for me. While the ink does dry a little slower than the Manuscript ink I have tried in the past, I have less smudging overall because I can write smaller. In fact, I have only smudged with this pen while testing to see if the ink has dried, never by accident while writing. Price: I am completely satisfied and very happy with what I paid for this pen. Being new to the fountain pen game (and being a lefty), I am hesitant to drop big money, but I am glad I bought this pen. Nevertheless, now a week after purchase, I see that the price has increased by about 40% of what I paid. I don't think Amazon likes reviews to mention specific dollar amounts, so I will have to leave it at this: I am thrilled with the price I paid, but I would not have gone out a limb for this purchase at the price it is currently listed.

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.

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.

"Elegant gift box" is a stretch and a half, but I like the pen. For the price, it's excellent. I have a couple lower end Waterman fountain pens that I like, and a Parker Sonnet I've had for several years. This one writes more smoothly than either Waterman, but nowhere near the Sonnet. I actually prefer the stiffer, steel nib on this pen. This one comes with a great price, so I won't worry about losing it at work. This will be my go-to pen for daily use.

The pen quality is so good and fit well with your grade, durable and the comfort you feel while writing, you do not feel the weight in your hand. Some of my colleagues ask me why I chose the Fountain Pen instead of the ballpen

This is a great pen. It writes so smoothly and uses Parker's Quink cartridge. It's got good heft that's not too heavy or light and the right size for writing. It's only $30 but writes like one many times the price.

Good pen, writes very smooth, ink flow nicely.

Note: it does not come with the converter, which needs to be purchased separately at about 30 dollars. DO check online if you don’t know what a fountain converter is. Other than that, everything is fine.
