I expected greater things..., April 9, 2013
I expected greater things from Pelikan, although this is a lower end pen. It
writes fair (not as well as other Pelikans I own, or those from other
manufacturers.). The cap does not stay on the other end of the pen, which makes
writing awkward, as the pen body is relatively short. For the money, there are
better pens out there.

This review is from Pelikan P55 Future Fountain Pen - Fine Nib - Red Body
Good, basic fountain pen. I have a blue medium nib, and a red fine nib now. The
medium is more like a broad, and the fine, a medium. The blue cap doesn't stay
on as well as the red, but both are great as I usually just carry in a bag
upright. I'd like to see a screw on cap though. Good value overall, and very
smooth.

This review is from Pelikan P55 Future Fountain Pen - Broad Nib - Red Body
This is my first broad nib pen and I have to say it is broader than I expected.
It sure lays down a lot of ink! My main complaint is that when using the
converter,
part of the silver on the converter can be seen in the little side windows.
Overall it looks pretty cheap, but then it was. Seems it might be nice in
signing Christmas cards, but for me little else.

This review is from Pelikan P55 Future Fountain Pen - Fine Nib - Blue Body
The ink bleeds out very thick, even from a fine point nib. The pen feels even
cheaper than the price tag. The grip is nice, and my wife loves it for use on
thick card stock and envelopes, but it is unsuable for note taking and everyday
use. Also, and it my be inconsequential to some, the cap will not stay on the
back of the pen when in use.
