GC QUILL Fountain Pen Set – Fine Nib with 12 Ink Cartridges and Ink Refill Converter, Pen Gift Set for Writing Journaling Calligraphy– MU-12

This is my first fountain pen, so I really don’t have anything to compare it with. I actually love this pen, I love the bright shade of orange, the weight of it in my hand, and how easy it is to use. It did take a bit of a learning curve to figure out how to put the cartridge in the pen, because I didn’t realize you had to remove what was already in the pen. There is a empty cartridge in the pen that is for when you refill the cartridge with your own ink. This comes with both black and blue cartridges, which I appreciate.I found that the ink flowed nicely, flows nicely, and the thickness of the line is very thin. This is not going to sputter and put huge splotches of ink on your paperThis comes beautifully boxed and I totally recommend this as a gift for someone who is just getting into fountain pens. I have a orange planner that matches this pen perfectly

This is my favorite pen. The ink that comes with it doesn't seem to dry out or the pen's ink channel doesn't clog. I have yet to try this with different ink.

The media could not be loaded. The quality of this fountain pen far exceeds that of some of my higher end pens. The presentation is elegant and beautifully minimal. Most of my fountain pens came in huge boxes that take up a lot of space.This particular fountain pen not only arrived in a nice and simple box, but the lid has a lovely magnetic closure.With regards to the pen itself, I'm thoroughly impressed! I ordered this pen because I got tired of losing my pricier pens. This pen certainly offers a lot for the price. I was also drawn to the color combination of this pen. Orange and grey is beautiful together, and rather elegant. I'm loving this dark matte gunmetal grey, but the orange is a but more subdued and "rusty" than what I see online. This is the only reason why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. I may have to just get used to it.Although I prefer to ink my own pens, I used one of the included cartridges to try this pen out upon arrival.It wrote immediately without any kind of coaxing, nib grinding, or tine adjustment. I'm seriously impressed. I have a decent collection of higher end fountain pens, and 95% of them needed an initial feed flush before use.This $9-$10 pen knows how to please!!! It's a bit too good to be true.The slightly magnetic cap has a very satisfying click when opening and closing, and it fits so comfortably in my hand.The weight is perfect, and it seems balanced capped and uncapped.It comes with 6 blue and 6 black ink cartridges, which is far more generous than most manufacturers and sellers. The quality of the ink is really nice and rich.This pen also comes with a very decent converter, should you fancy using your own ink!I would love to find an ink that matches the orange on this pen. It would definitely elevate the writing experience.This is a very giftable pen.I hate losing my fountain pens, so I thought losing this would sting a bit less. I was wrong. I would hate to lose this little $10 baby!!I highly recommend this pen.

This has been my daily driver for a couple of months now and I absolutely love this pen. As with any pen, getting used to the pressure needed is key and this pen writes smoothly with just a little practice. It is heavier than I expected which gives it a solid quality feel. Great pen!

Great value. Looks and performs as promised. Nice kit with ink refill cartridges. Great price for ten bucks. Not scratchy at all. Love it.

I must tell you I was not impressed with this fountain pen. It doesn’t even write properly. You should honestly get better fountain pens.

kind of normal quality, not really comfortable

This pen had the writing tip! I'm satisfied with my return and it came in two days.
