JINHAO Fountain Pen Fine Nib, Includes Ink Cartridges & Converter, Perfect Weight, Optimal Flow, No Skips

This pen was a great price and you get a pak of 5 blue and 5 black cartridges as well as a converter to add bottled ink. The pen itself feels nice in the hand and I like the mat rubbed finish of the barrel and the black nib! It is a nice size pen. I struggled to get the cartridge in but hadn’t read the directions sheet until I realized it wasn’t going to go in no matter how hard I pushed. The directions for the cartridge insertion does say you have to use a lot of force and it won’t damage the pen. So I put the cap on to protect the nib and tried again and it did snap in! You can feel it and hear it. I wet the nib and got a tissue to help the ink to start its flow and it writes beautifully! Excellent purchase with an extra fine/fine script. The replacent cartridges are very reasonable too so this will be an economical choice. I may switch over to the converter at some point but I like the blue and the black ink that comes in the cartridges for now especially with the great price point! Good pen!

This is a fountain pen bundle that includes a 5 black ink cartridges, 5 blue ink cartridges, ink converter, a pen sleeve and a Jinhao fountain pen. I believe the model is the Jinhao 88, but i couldn't find the real model number in the product description. Note that I bought this for myself originally, then gifted it to a friend to try to get them into fountain pens so I don't have it anymore. But I did like it a lot and was not trying to get rid of it when I gave it away.Build quality: the cap, section and body are metal (brass?) with a nice looking matte black finish. Has a nice bit of weight to it and feels well balanced to me. I got the impression of quality when holding it.Design: Understated, which I really like. May not be for those that like flashy pens. There is some fluting / grooving on the barrel that makes it a little more interesting to look at and feels nice to the touch.Nib, ink flow: I got the fine nib and it was very smooth, surprisingly so. Definitely smoother than my Lamy Safari. Ink flow was slow at first but it opened up after writing for a bit and the flow was good after that. This was one of the first pens I bought and I don't think that I flushed it with water when I received it. It might have removed this issue altogether. Also, I cannot remember which ink I used. It was probably one of included black ink cartridges or Hongdian black ink. Using a different ink may give different results.Pen sleeve: I actually really appreciated the included pen sleeve. I think it is a nice size, protects the pen's surface nicely and has a flap that tucks in to a strap so no part of the pen is exposed. I am trying to find out if / where I can buy the pen sleeves directly so I can protect more of my pens.Overall, I really liked this bundle. I thought the pen was good quality even before considering the price. The pen alone would be a good deal for the $10 I paid, but the fact that it comes with 10 cartridges, a convert and protective sleeve makes the value/$ high

Great deal for people not sure if they like or want to start down that rabbit hole addiction of fountain pens.This one writes well and smooth.It has a bit off heft and weight to it which some may like or dislike. To me it makes it feel more premium and not cheap/plasticky. You can also take the weighted cap off the end for a more balanced weight distribution.Design is simple with just enough flourish to make it fun and unique.Has not leaked over the several weeks I've used it.Extra ink cartridges is just a bonus.

Initially I didn't like this pen, found that it stalled or ran dry while I wrote it and was about to return it.But , then after watching some videos on YT, I realize the issue was really me being so use to writing so hard with a pen and expecting results. Once I realize it was a light touch or pressure that was needed and the angle must be maintained during the writing it be actually became something I used everyday. I'm not as tired a nd crapped up anymore when i write with it.I find I can actually write longer paragraphs and enjoy using it on a daily basiswhy 4 stars and not 5.The tip seem hard and won't open to make really thick letters. This could be I chose the wrong one or they just make it to harden with the materials they use for the tip.

I LOVE this pen. Since I bought it is all I use. It does kind of bleed through the pages but it's only a dot here and there. I don't care. I love this pen. It's heavier than any other pen and fits my hand nicely. It's a fine point so it I like how it writes without being thick. The cap fits well and doesn't come off. I've already gone through one cartridge. The ink flows nicely and doesn't pool. I may never go back to ball point pens.

Overall good pen, I've never had one of these and thought it would be cool. I have bad hand writing but thats not what we're judging lol two photos so you can see for yourself what you think. Definitely better for thicker paper, but I also dont think these are intended for thin sheets. Glad it comes with refills of black and blue options, first time install is a little intimidating for first time user, press hard to insert!

No leakage, beautiful design, feels very high quality, easy to use, color is great! No issues or problems whatsoever! Basically this is the only pen that I’ll ever have!!

If anyone wants a comparison of the extra fine nib to the fine nib, I tried both out on newsprint just to see how much they'd run; extra fine on the left, fine on the right. The difference is noticeable on regular paper, but the fine point doesn't run at all. In addition, I wasn't writing continuously, and the pens weren't drying out on me.It's a very nice pen. It has a good heft to it. The included cartridges have reasonable nice ink in them, and with the converter, you can use whatever you like. The barrel is a little slim for for my taste, but that's just me.This is a great deal for the money.
