Pentel TRJ50-C Tradio Puraman Blue

Excellent pen, wonderful concept: an inexpensive plastic pen that functions like a fountain pen.

makes my handwriting amazing

I would say I love pens, always have. As a teacher, I usually used a fountain pen, and many of my students, who had never seen one, asked me what I was writing with. I explained it was a fountain pen and many asked where they could get one. Over 20 years of teaching 2 or 3 kids actually starting using them. I retired and don't really write that much (compared to teaching). I would use my pens rarely and the ink would dry out, etc. Instead I bought this pen and am very pleased. It has that Flair quality and has refills and never dried out.

I was hoping this pen would be smoother than it is. Tried on various papers it’s a bit scratchy. Had one yeas ago and it was super smooth. Maybe with use it will get broken in. I still like the pen but for me it was a bit meh. 5-21-21 add on to review. After using the pen several times it has smoothed out in the way it writes. It was almost like the nib had to be saturated for a while before softening for a smoother more pleasant writing experience.

Aboslutely amazing!

This is like a stiff felt tip pen ( it actually IS that) that was slotted into a plastic nib shaped piece. It KINDA writes like its a fountain pen simulator , but really it writes like a bad felt tip pen.... Avoid. Parker has real, nice fountain pens for 15.00 and some even less- platinum preppy has a pretty good one too, 10.00. Even Bic has a disposable fountain pen. The caps have big problems eventually leaking and the nibs are cheap and scratchy. But they're FOUNTAIN pens. This IS NOT!!! Boo. So what if its (marginally) smoother then the Bic ? So is a sharpie. Not a fountain pen though! The cheap Parker's ARE pretty smooth though. You should buy a Parker. Or of you wanna spent a bit more Pilot makes a great refillable pen. They also make a disposable, the varsity I believe. It's rough, but its real. Smooth, not as smooth as this , but smooth. This , though- only smooth cuz it's a felt tip, so wrong kind of smooth- and CRUCIALLY it drags where an actual fountain pen glides ( even if roughly) so you are slowed down - and speed is a top trait of fountain pens. This is a glorified felt tip. It makes me a little mad really. Sadly , if a fountainised felt tip sounds great to you, be warned it is STILL not as good as a Papermate felt tip. Oh well!!!

Exactly what I expected and appreciate the beautiful flow in these pens.

I really like the way this tip works allowing you to vary some of your line weight from almost fine to very fine. I use this pen for product design sketching, and I really like it for note taking too if I need to. There are a lot of great pens out there, but I found this one in Japan on a whim, and it's become one of my favorite pens. I've tried many different types of pens since my job pays for pretty much anything I want to try, and I now prefer this over more expensive options such as Copic pens (which I also like). This pen has refills as well which is great. I try to avoid completely disposal pens even if they're nice for drawing. If you're wondering, the Tradio MLJ20 refills work on this pen. You should be able to find them for around $3-4, but it varies in the States.

I love the ease of use with this pen. Great line work for drawing or writing. I would definitely purchase this again. Awesome pen.

J'adore ce stylo. Il est super agréable d'écrire avec, comme de dessiner. On peut facilement faire des traits plus épais, mais toujours contrôlés. La glisse est impeccable, l'encre ne bave pas. Vraiment mon stylo préféré.

Excelente. Producto y servicio

Hola. Excelente producto, realmente es una pluma estilográfica. No lo dejo de utilizar desde que ha llegado Saludos

Fantastic purchase - writes just like a fountain pen but without all the faff. Even survived a trip inside the washing machine. Just hope they stay in stock.
