Parker IM Monochrome Ballpoint Pen Champagne Finish Medium Point Blue Ink Includes Gift Box

I've been using Parker pens for almost 10 years and this one is no exception to the quality of their products. My girlfriend loved it, and she had never even known that pens like this exist. I have a Sonnet Cisele fountain pen (which is made in France), and while the IMs are made in China, they feel just as well built.I also bought her a Monochrome IM Rollerball, and that one actually has metal barrel threads, which was impressive for the price.That being said, if you want the rollerball writing experience but want to get the ballpoint style, get the parker gel refills. And if you aren't a fan of black or bright blue, get the Monteverde Ceramic Gel Blue-Black. It's a gorgeous navy blue gel ink.TLDR, if you want a pen that is G2 thickness, has a nice metallic finish with gorgeous pale gold trim, and writes like a dream, get this pen and put a Parker or Monteverde Gel refill in it. You won't regret it. (Alternatively, get the Jotter XL monochrome, it's also wonderful and those are made in France. Quite a bit thinner than the IM though.)

I was on the hunt for a reliable ballpoint pen, and I stumbled upon this gem. Its aesthetic appeal, comfortable weight, secure grip, and excellent value make it a perfect match for my preferences. The Parker reviews consistently praise its durability, suggesting that finding the right refill is key. This pen would be an ideal gift for anyone seeking a dependable everyday ballpoint pen. The only minor adjustment I’d make is to switch the ink cartridge. Personally, I find the cartridge included with the pen and the Parker refills to be a bit too light in color. While it’s acceptable, I’m accustomed to the dark pigmentation of a Sharpie. To address this, I opted for the Monteverde Ceramic Gel Refill, which complements the Parker IM beautifully.

Parker pens are great! I grew up writing with these pens and the only thing that has changed is the price, but still affordable. The weight is good and the ink is great. While I don't care for ballpoints, I am glad that it takes gel refills. The metal body style is slick and feels great in my hand. If you want a premium pen with an affordable price get a Parker.

Amazing shine and deep blue color. The pen is gorgeous and writes beautifully. I am so happy Parker came out with this suite of monochrome colors. Not only is it still an excellent Parker pen - it is also modern and classy! I bought this as a gift for my husband and he is truly delighted. Why did you pick this product vs others?:Parker quality and availability of refills.Functionality:Smooth and comfortable Weight:PerfectPen quality:Sturdy.

Excellent writing pen, and feels good in my hand. I’ve owned Mont Blancs that didn’t feel as good in my hand, and didn’t write as good. The click is much better than twist; Twist pens tend to twist the opposite direction when writing, and you have to constantly twist it back open. And the ones with removable tops, while you can place the top on the opposite end, tend to come loose while writing. I do recommend using only genuine Parker refills.

You can't go wrong with Parker. The color of the pen is appealing and it writes well for everyday use.The only drawback is it provides very little grip so I constantly find myself having to readjust my grip as the pen slips which does get annoying at times.

Perfect for me. Looks great, an easy to grasp size, well made and ballpoint writes quite well.

It is truly a nice weight. Not overly heavy but a nice weight. The spring on the click is also nice. Not loose but a little taunt. Such a beautiful color with little accents. Soft matte.

Good day, while the Parker brand always lives up to expectations your pictures for the item are very misleading. I expected the blue pen casing but instead a champagne colored casing was delivered. I considered returning it for a refund however due to it being on sale I kept it. Please be more accurate with the correlation between visual representation and verbal description in future. Thanks

Great addition to my pen collection. I like the sleek style and it writes well.

Conste que soy un neófito en el mundo de las estilográficas, siempre me ha gustado pero también me habían comentado que escribir con pluma era difícil (que no os vendan ese cuento) y mi caligrafía dista mucho de ser lo que llamamos bonita (es legible, entendible… pero no tiene un trazo bonito). De todas maneras, esto es para hablar de la estilográfica, no de mi caligrafía.Comencemos, nos encontramos con una pluma estilográfica de plumífero mediano en color azul (ya tenía el rollerball y el bolígrafo de la misma colección y color) con un peso ligero (ojo, no penséis que pesa lo mismo que un bolígrafo desechable) y que, bajo mi punto de vista y sin poder hacer una comparación, escribe muy bien. Es rápida y creo que si, como yo, os estáis iniciando en este mundo, os puede resultar muy buena primera pluma.Puntos a destacar:- Ofrece una ligereza en la escritura maravillosa por el peso que tiene.- Mejora tu caligrafía (es cierto, le escribí a mi mujer una carta para estrenarla y no podía creer que la hubiera manuscrito yo).- Precio competitivo en calidad. Todo el mundo ha escuchado hablar de Parker y sabemos que es una marca de estilográficas muy buena.- “Status” en la oficina. Cuando sacas tu estuche lapicero de tu mochila/maletín, lo abres, sacas toda la colección (rollerball, bolígrafo y pluma estilográfica) y utilizas la pluma, la gente te mira “sorprendida”. Poca gente utiliza la pluma y, como he comentado arriba, creen que es complicado utilizarla.Puntos negativos:- Por ahora, ninguno.En resumen, recomiendo su compra, sobre todo si te vas a iniciar en el mundo de la estilográfica, ya después podrás ir abriendo horizontes si te gusta a estilográficas más caras de Parker, Montblanc, Pelikan… Recomiendo su compra por Amazon (poco tiempo de entrega, más económico que en cualquier tienda física en la que he mirado, ya que lo encontré de oferta, y puedes ponerlo a recoger en un locker, algo para mí imprescindible debido a que es muy difícil pillarnos en casa). También lo recomiendo para los que tenemos mala caligrafía, es una forma de mejorar sin volver a los cuadernillos de caligrafía.

Goede handligging

Beautiful pen - so happy with it! And same day delivery blew me away!
