This Jinhao fountain pen is built on a mechanical architecture known for its stability and ease of use. Depending on the specific model, the barrel is constructed from either a weighted brass core or high-density plastic, providing a solid feel in the hand that many users prefer for steady writing. The fine-grade stainless steel nib features a laser-cut slit to help ensure the ink flows consistently onto the page without skipping.
The pen includes an international standard converter, which features an O-ring seal to help prevent internal leaks when using bottled ink. While the pen arrives with starter cartridges, tests show that it performs most reliably with high-lubricity inks. For the best "out-of-the-box" experience, a quick rinse of the nib with room-temperature water can help clear any manufacturing residues and ensure the ink flow is smooth from the first stroke.
- Sturdy barrel construction provides a professional weight and feel.
- Threaded or snap caps offer resistance to ink evaporation during storage.
- Standard converter allows for the use of a wide variety of bottled ink colors.
If you prefer a writing experience that requires zero maintenance, you might consider a set of Pilot Varsity disposable pens.
