New Parker Jotter Fountain Pen


Olya

Recommended Posts

Along with the rest of Parker's pen line up, the Jotter fountain pen seems to be now the last one to also have been updated. I saw this on instagram the other day, with a much better look in their story.

 

Looks-wise it's a bit like their new IM, but if the new Jotter is like the new IM then they better shouldn't have messed with it, as my old-style IM writes & behaves perfectly, and the new IM dries out within hours.

 

Parker and their drying-out issue has been going on for what, a decade or so? That should have been fixed ages ago and not be incorporated into new designs, but they seem to view this flaw as good feature!?

 

Anyway, here's a look at the Jotter, you can't really see much

I also dislike this new clip a lot. The older very slim clips with an obvious arrow are much nicer.

Interesting. It looks more like mixy. The pen the 15 was originally based off. Considering how many of these pens I've had over the years I'll be surevto try one.

I've used the (old) Jotter fp for several years, It uses the same nib and feed as the Vector and several other pens.

I'd say it's good value for money, but it's a small pen, maybe aimed at school use, mostly.

The new version seems to be a redesign, so really need to see one in reality to know anything more, so hope the price is realistic...

I can only see a medium nib listed for online purchases at this point.

 

Bullet points from the manufacturer:

 

  • New nib graphic, slimmer nib and bottom to match the updated style Jotter
  • New metal cap tassie
  • Approximately 13cm in length
  • Updated clips
  • Presented in a Parker gift box with care guide and instructions
  • 2 years Parker manufacturer's warranty

May be the packaging is made in France.

 

That would be illegal in the UK, it is more likely that the pen is assembled in France from parts made elsewhere. .

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
