PARKER FOUNTAIN PENS - A PIECE OF HISTORY
Parker Fountain pens are an elegant addition to a pen collection. They are highly popular, come in a range of colourful and modern designs and they are very affordable. Their popularity is enhanced by their ease of use. Some fountain pens can be temperamental; Parker fountain pens just work and are backed by over 135 years of development and evolution.
Why choose a Parker Fountain Pen?
Despite their comparative affordability, you're still rewarded with a feeling of prestige when writing with a Parker fountain pen. Unlike Parker rollerball pens which use liquid/gel-based ink, Parker fountain pens utilise a lavish ink that provides the smoothest writing experience which feels very personal and joyful.
Given their timeless nature, Parker fountain pens are stylish and aesthetically pleasing - Parker offers a plethora of unique shapes and designs. As a result, many Parker fountain pens are seen as vintage collectables, curated and collected by many hobbyists and pen aficionados.
Should I get a Parker ballpoint, fountain or rollerball pen?
While Parker fountain pens are exquisite and comfortable - apt for elegant writing, they do have a few limitations. Parker Fountain pens require a little more maintenance than a regular Parker ballpoint or Parker rollerball pen, for example, it’s recommended that Parker fountain pens are fully cleaned at least once a month.
Given their meticulous attributes, Parker fountain pens tend to be more expensive than ballpoint and rollerball pens.
However what you get in return is a very personalised writing experience - one that actually helps to improve your handwriting, since you will likely write slower with a fountain pen and you'll find the experience more enjoyable. Ultimately that is why people come back to fountain pens again and again, and why we always recommend fountain pens for those who enjoy writing.
Which model should I choose?
Finding the right Parker fountain pen (or any pen for that matter) is a completely personal experience and will likely be influenced by a range of factors, from price to colour to design. Below is a collection of Parker fountain pens that are top sellers on our market.
