Light jostling gets ink in the cap of the pen and all over the nib, and the high ink output means that it bleeds through most cheap standard paper

An ink that makes you swoon and decent paper makes a big difference, makes me want to write more

The ink snaps right in (haven't used the converter, and don't really plan to -- cartridge is good enough for me), the pen writes super smoothly, solid lines but only bleeds through super cheap printer paper (so far), and I can leave it for 4-5 days before the ink starts to 'dry' or whatever (meaning, I have to run it down a page a few times to get it flowing again).Excellent pen, excellent price.

I write on cheap Walmart notebook paper with noodlers bulletproof black ink, and it performs amazingly

It bleeds through the paper (maybe using wrong paper?) quite easily

On fountain pen compatible paper, the lines are very crisp.

Writes well on nearly any surface, except modern steno pads with cheap thin paper; will get a little bit of bleed

It continues to provide smooth ink flow and writing across all types of papers, including regular cheap copier paper.

Some papers will seem to suck the ink from the pen while other papers the ink will flow nicely and lightly upon the surface.

so I filled it with Noodler's Black (Bulletproof black) and started jotting some words down on cheap paper

It kind of scratches the paper as you write.

I wish I would’ve went with a smaller nib though because it writes very wet and will bleed through cheap paper if you’re not a quick writer

So smooth, Doesn't scratch paper, highly recommend it.

The ink is darker than my ballpoint pens- however you need to watch for ghosting or bleed through on cheaper paper

Overall, the nib performs well and isn't scratchy at all, even on rougher, lower-quality paper like mass-market paperbacks

First, the "medium" point is actually "fine", and, by my writing, it rips the paper

I may recommend the Fine nib for cheaper paper like mead or school paper, but this one worked pretty well without bleed through, but it does require the right ink.

The original ink from Pilot also tended to bleed through the cheap paper we use at work, but this problem has been solved by switching to Noodler's Black ink.

Writing is smooth, the nib is not at all scratchy and only skips on cheap junky paper

Make sure you are writing on good paper because the ink is quite wet and will bleed out on paper that can't handle fountain pens

It just scratches the paper without leaving ink at least half of the time

Hopefully that person enjoys the pen just as much as I did - at least they have good taste

I bought this one, with the thick nib, as well as the one with the thin nib, and they're both running low on ink just a few weeks after using them

I bought the silver variety.- Sturdy, un-obnoxious clip (unlike the Lamy entry level fountain which I also own)- Comes with one cartridge (Pilot style), as well as a

Very nice performance with printing as well as

Fantastic pen, especially considering the price: writes as well as

Works as it should I'm happy with it

The ink leaks a but in the

Amazing pen for $15 - Fahrvergnugen as good as I can coax out of any my well-tuned antiques.

Doesn't have as consistent of a line as I would like but not too bad for a daily-use pen.

I’ve used this exact pen with the fine nib before and not had a problem but this pen can’t decide if it doesn’t write at all, or if it wants to put out so much ink that an ‘e’ looks like a filled in black circle
