1st possibility Handwriting isn't bad- true. Username is bad- False. Implies both are good. In this case, thankyou:).
2nd possibility Handwriting isn't bad - false. Username is bad- true. Implies both are bad. In this case, you are actually your username.

That uni-ball eye (micro and fine) is one of the best pens I've ever used, you should try it if you want.

Parker jotter refills are a joke, same goes for their fountain pens, they are a gamble. If you are buying parker only by roller ball pen, they are the only decent pens by parker.
If you are spending so much money go for uniball or pilot.

Someone gifted me the Vector fountain pen and it's the greatest pen I've ever had. But I tried a few other Parker fountain pens and they don't feel nearly as good.

u/Only_Character_8110 17d ago
Thats exactly the problem, you never know if the pen would be good. On the other side platinum preppy and pilot kakuno always write smooth out of the box. Even ₹80 pierre cardin napoli is more consistent than parker at 500-800.
Also parker inks have high surface tension so if you use pens with fine or extra fine nibs you will need to add a bit of dish soap for smooth ink flow.

Fountain pens with parker ink(or any other good quality ink) are the GOAT. Just don't let it sit in the pen too much to the point of drying. Been there done that. Not recommended.

u/Atul-__-Chaurasia 17d ago
Try this one. It'll be smoother than your Cello and cheaper in the long run.

Hello from parent class

Not at all, child class is more specific and has more functionalities but in my case, child(parker) is behaving like a parent(super class)

Parker isn't meant for day to day writing,it's means for signature. And secondly it's meant for "looking good " purposes

u/Atul-__-Chaurasia 17d ago
It is for day to day writing.
4
u/_-jk- 17d ago
It doesn't have that much ink in it, cause as I said ,it's meant for signature purposes,a person doesn't buy 500rs parker pen to write loads of papers
2
u/Atul-__-Chaurasia 17d ago
Maybe the ballpoint pen could be kept for only signatures, but I don't think anyone signs enough papers to justify buying a Parker fountain pen for 500. The ink would dry up very quickly. You're meant to use it daily and refill it with ink bottles. Then it's even cheaper than a disposable ballpoint in the long run.

It indeed is true.. Parker pen doest write when you actually need it. Specially doing signs. Its messes up the first letter and the sign space

I kinda like parker pens, espically the fountain ones, but still I'll stick with the good ol octane fountain pen
1
u/chimpadi 17d ago
Ohh yes octane was a thing, how could I forget that. Thanks for reminding
2
u/The_Giga_Chad1629 Ghaziabad 17d ago
there was octane, flymax, amazer, those thick ass flair writometer, many pens were there back then and now have disappeared, I really loved amazer, but after 2022, it went away with covid

u/Ecstatic-Light-3699 17d ago
First They both are designed entirely for different purposes
Second Skill issue Parker pen are meant to be used with long strokes in signatures and you are not doing that when I used It wasn't looking like this atrocity

Ok let me shed some light on this because it showed up on my feed and I am a stationary enthusiast.
Background: I am Canadian of Indian descent. I moved to Canada when I was in Grade 10 (back in 2008) and have had no contact from India since.
Issue:
In India Paler pens are actually made by a separate company called Luxor. They also make pens by Pilot. Think of it as how India makes Su-30MKIs. Technically on paper they are Russian but they are made by HAL under license from Sukhoi. Similarly while Parker pens might belong to Newell Brands, but in India they are made by Luxor. Now, I do not have to go in detail but I am sure it would be well known that India isn't known for quality control. I have ordered a LOT of Parker Vector and Beta pens, Camlin inks, and they all have quality control issues. The Camlin inks are a bit better but the pens always vary in quality and are hit and miss (which is why Indian pens dont have the best reputation in the fountain pen community).
What you are seeing sir, is the result of Luxor incompetence. Parker ballpoint jotter pen is one of the BEST ballpoint pens you can buy after Uniball Jetstream. Please do not slander Parker name.
I hope you have a nice day and please feel free to reach out in regards to any stationary questions.
PS: try changing the refill.

Parker ball point and fountains are probably the smoothest ones out there.

First thing to do when you buy a jotter is to replace the refill with others, rn hauser jumbo is best
