Pilot Prera Fountain Pen - Medium Nib - Royal Blue Body

Aside from the other reviewer, whos only real problem is that they did not flush the pen prior to using it, nothing a quick rinse would not have taken care of....

it is a wonderful pen, a daily workhorse and if you get board of it you can swap out the nib with a pilot plumix medium italic....

Maybe it's just me, but I can't get this pen to work properly. I'm using a Pilot blue/black cartridge and the pen will only put down a pale, inconsistent line of ink that skips. I have other Pilot pens, including the Petit1 and Varsity, among a number of rollerballs, and they are all much better than the Prera I got. I really wanted to like this pen, because it's beautiful, but I'm really disappointed. Back it goes.
