Pentel TRJ50-C Tradio Puraman Blue

Ok, I admit it, I have a thing about stationery and pens in particular. I have tried so many pens over the years but the Pentel Tradio is in my top three. It's a got a very refined feel in the hand and long brushlike fibre tip point. This will give you much deeper and inkier letters than a gel ink or rollerball but still with plenty of precision. It's a love pen whether for taking notes or writing a letter. Some may find it a littler slower as there is a bit more friction, but it makes for more control and is enjoyable pen to pick up and write with.

Lovely pen, comfortable grip. Not as smooth as a fountain pen but perfectly easy to write with. Despatched from Japan which takes a few weeks.

Fantastic purchase - writes just like a fountain pen but without all the faff. Even survived a trip inside the washing machine. Just hope they stay in stock.

The nib is a bit scratchy, otherwise very nice

I'm a self-confessed stationery geek, and I just love the feel of these. They write smoothly, but you get that precision feel that you only get with a fountain pen. Love that the refill includes the nib, so you don't need to worry about that wearing down, and pen and refills are good value and last for ages. I've found it particularly good for marking up proofs.

For fountain pen lovers, this is a modern twist. First saw it at the Japan Center exhibition in London and then decided to order and extra one. Only issue is that when the ink is gone, one needs to order a refill cartridge. writes well, is light to hold.

Very pleased with this pen. Smooth consistent ink flow. Very comfortable to hold. Have ordered another one.

It's just a pretty average pen, it's scratchy with a thick body.No better than a dozen other pens I've used.It's nothing like a fountain pen, the line is quite thick.Easily mistaken for a felt tip marker.Not impressed.

I just love them as a go-to medium tip sketch pen. Note that they do scatter little ink dots when you write or draw on densely textured paper, such as watercolor papers, so if you don't like that I recommend use on drawing and standard notebook/printer paper. I love the effect of the tiny ink splatters around my sketch lines though. I also use them for regular writing and have loved these tips forever.They do take the Pentel MLJ20 refills, which I purchase in a box of 12 on Amazon, also pictured.

Had to be held in one angle only. Writing is not smooth and scratching on paper.

I bought this simply because this pen has a unique nib. It's like a plasticky felt tip nib. However it writes surprisingly well, the ink(from the included cartridge) is very dark and well behaved and you can get a fair amount of line variation by altering the angle of nib(broad to fine).Quirky little pen for your collection. Great for sketches.Check writing sample compared to other pens, and a close-up of the nib in the images.

I love these things, they write so smoothly and crisply, and since the nib is a part of the cartridge, you get a new one every time you refill! Now if only people would stop stealing them from my desk!Highly recommended.

Excelente pluma, escritura suave, muy recomendable
