I received the metallic 'premium warm silver colour golden trim' matching the 'lacquer black golden trim' version my husband has been using since the summer, hence I have several months of testing this pen range..During my student years some 30 years ago, I used nothing but Parker pens because they could cope with fast scribbling when taking notes in lectures. More recently, I have almost given up using pens in favour of the keyboard and found that those few ballpoint pens I do have, either dry up or become blotchy through lack of use. In contrast, this Parker pen is completely forgiving: if not used for a few weeks, the ink still flows freely with no need to shake the pen,scribble on scrap paper to get it flowing again or wipe any clogged ink with a tissue.In common with all Parker pens I have used, this pen is high quality both in its design and construction. Although the pen inner is plastic, it has a strong and durable brushed aluminium outer casing with an engraved criss-cross pattern to the upper silver section while the lower gold section is smoothly brushed. It is supplied with a medium stainless steel nib and blue 'Quinkflow' refill - other colours and thicknesses are available but this is always my preference. The ink flows smoothly and consistently and with never any scratchiness.At 95mm wide where held, it is broader than the 'stick'-type ballpoint pens making it naturally easier and more comfortable to hold than the thinner types, particularly when used extensively or for older people or more arthritic hands. It's a good weight - feels substantial without feeling heavy and is well-balanced. Despite so rarely using a pen now and finding them a little awkward to hold, it has just seen me hand-write the annual batch of Christmas cards and letters to distant relatives with no discomfort.The pen arrives smartly presented in a sleek gift box, strapped to a flocked and padded card base and is accompanied by a multilingual warranty card making it ideal to offer as a reassuring, traditional but modern, quality gift.

In my school days when we all wrote with fountain pens and used bottles of ink, a Parker Pen was regarded as one of the best and if you owned one you were regarded as 'posh'. I had an old blue and gold tipped one which I used until I was an adult until it eventually fell apart. Fountain pens are still used but nowadays it is mostly roller balls or biros and I rather miss the old ways.So when I was asked to give an honest review to this Parker IM rollerball pen I leapt at the chance as the name Parker holds such good memories for me and I was not disappointed when this arrived. It comes in an elegant grey box with a darker grey lining.The pen is silver in colour with a gold coloured trim and the familiar arrow on the top so familiar to me from my wonderful old pen.Writes simply beautifully, smooth flow and the fine nib makes it easy to refine the writing down to very small without making it unreadable. As I have just been updating my paper diary for 2017 when there is usually very little room for addresses etc (yes I still use the old fashioned paper one) this is a great benefit.I am delighted with this pen and shall be using it regularly. this would make a super present, birthday or Christmas or whatever as it looks so elegant and so well presented.One small point - it is stated that it comes with a refill. From that one would assume that it is spare and there for when you need it. Not so. The pen does not contain a cartridge when it arrives and you have to use the one provided, hence it is NOT a refill. OK I am being pedantic but just slightly misleading.But, a super pen.

Parker pens might have something of a 'perfect for the older person' image problem thanks to Michael Parkinson and those life insurance advert giveaways. However, truth be told, Parker have always made some really rather nice pens in the mid-range priced sector of the market. Sure, a rollerball is a rollerball (regardless of price) if all you are looking at is whether it lets you write or not. If you want something that is going to last, rather than a disposable item, then for this older gentleman (is early 50's older gentleman territory these days?) Parker hits the spot.This is your genuine article, not some cheap far eastern clone. The packaging is impressive if you are giving this as a gift,but I'd have preferred a blister pack option to keep the waste down if I'm honest.The pen itself is a delight to hold; perfectly balanced in the hand if you ask me. Although I am a professional writer (a veteran technology journalist and author with some 30 years in the business now) my work-a-day writing tool is, sadly, the keyboard. So it's really nice to have a 'proper pen' for when I'm jotting down notes, writing poetry for my partner or even making a shopping list.There have been some complaints in the reviews that the rollerball ink flow is patchy, especially at the start of writing. However, I don't find this to be the case. The supplied Parker 'Quink' fine black refill behaves exactly as I would expect it to and, again, is a delight to use.

A stylish pen is a wonderful thing to own and use, and Parker's creations are always the ones at the forefront of my mind when I think about premium writing tools.Beautifully styled and with a two-tone, brushed metal look, this has all the hallmarks of a classy rollerball, from its weighty feel to the gorgeous, flowing ink which comes with it. The gold accents offer a pleasing contrast to the main body's silver, without being overpowering. Sadly, there is only one ink cartridge in the initial pack: it might improve its perceived value had two been included.The inset box for the Parker Pen feels a little bit flimsy,although the inner pen holder has a much higher quality texture to it and presents the pen nicely.Writing with a Parker rollerball is an experience to savour - I don't use it for everyday note-taking, but for cards, letters and so on, when I can allow more time and take more care with what I'm writing. Mine was initially a bit scratchy out of the box, until the ink had flowed a little and it became 'broken in', so to speak. Since then, it's been splendid to use.It's a lovely pen to write with, possessing high-quality design and construction, and makes a worthwhile gift for just about anyone.

I decided after many years I'd treat myself to a lovely Parker pen. The last time I owned one or a few rather was when I used to go to school and that was many many years ago.First impressions, beautiful presentation box and beautiful looking pen.I was a bit dismayed to find the ink refill in the box separately as was hoping there would be a spare one but no major issue.Upon putting the refill into the pen I did get ink on my hands as being a rollerball the ink is somewhat similar to a fountain pen so do handle carefully when doing so.Writing is fluid and precise, as it's a fine point, there are slight scratchy feelings of not being super smooth but again no major concern.The pen does howeverif more pressure is placed write a bit thicker so not super thin and works very well.For the price and looks and overall quality of this pen I would say it is a great buy and would highly recommend this.

This is a high-quality pen, just as one would expect from Parker. The pen - a fine-pointed Premium Black with Gold trim - is very elegant indeed.It is well-presented in a smart box making it ideal as a gift - although that is if one could bear to part with it!The pen is nicely-balanced and chunky enough to make for a comfortable grip. Unlike a ballpoint, I've found that a Rollerball needs a breaking-in period, which once achieved, the ink flows well and - like a fountain pen - makes even my scrawl look half-decent.I am very impressed with the pen and can definitely recommend it.Just to clarify something that is in the blurb: the pen does not have what I would class a refill. Yes, there is a 'refill'separate from the pen, but the pen is empty, but as the pen is so lovely I can definitely overlook that minor point.A well-deserved 5 stars.

I write with a ballpoint for several hours each day, so my main priority in choosing one is that it be comfortable to hold. For the past few years I've been using a posh Parker that I inherited from my Dad and that was absolutely perfect for me, but this week, sadly, it fell apart in my hand. I bought this IM because it was the model that looked the one most similar to my dear old friend. Old Faithful was a bit thicker than ballpoints usually are, so I expected that the IM's generous girth would be an advantage; but to my surprise, it's actually a bit too big for me, and I'm now using a bottom-of-the-range plastic-barrelled Parker Jotter instead. One lives and learns...!

The Parker IM Rollerball pen carries on the long tradition of quality pens from this classic brand.The pen feels weighty and looks wonderful - made up of a black aluminium body with a gold trim. The lid is a nice weight, and snaps onto the pen when not in use.The ink flow is good, and the fine nib even makes my messy handwriting look classy. Well, sort of.The only negative point is the description of coming with a "black ink refill". The pen does not come with the cartridge installed - so you have to use the one in the box - so the inference of a spare refill is misleading. A minor gripe and not worth removing a star for.

The Parker IM Ballpoint Pen arrived in a very attractive case with grey padding around the open and a nice grey ribbon over the centre of the pen.The pen is silver for about three quarters of hte pen then there is alighter silver circle and the pen ends with a black quarter then finished with a smaller silver circle at the end.It writes easily and looks very good on one's desk,it really is worth the price for such an attractive pen and the fact it refills with any normal Parker refill is very handy.A very impressive pen ideal for a Chrismas or Birthday gift.

I've always had a bit of a soft spot for Parkers, ever since I got given a fountain pen and ballpoint pen set as a present when I was a teenager. This is a well constructed ballpoint pen, which takes standard Parker medium point refills. There's a pleasant grain to the metal barrel, although the espresso colour seemed more grey to me. The pen has a good weight and the writing barrel is comfortable when writing for a long period of time plus there's a good chunky sound to the clicker. All in all I like writing with it, but it's a lot of money for what it is.

I have used a Parker rollerball every day of my professional life for the past 25+ years ever since one was gifted to me on a significant birthday.I bought this, my 5th I believe, as a replacement for the last which, as is usually the case, eventually started to split where the nib end screws into the barrel - hardly surprising with how far I drive each one that I have owned!Reliable, lovely flowing script with the rollerball refills - personally I much prefer fine point over medium.I have no doubt I’ll buy another in a few years’ time.

Decided to keep a journal (not a diary) and put down my thoughts as and when.The pen is extremely comfortable in the hand, looks really nice and has a quality feel to it. How a pen feels in the hand is so important, it just makes you want to use it. Only one proviso, but genuine refills as the non genuine ones have poor ink quality and don't last very long. Perhaps it was my batch, but the genuine ones I bought do write much better and have a nicer/darker colour on the page. Comes in a nice quality gift box.Very happy with my purchase.

The pen comes in a smart, sophisticated box in dark grey with the Parker name and logo in gold; the pen is in a slide out tray and is fitted on a velvety grey pad held in with a grey ribbon. Under the pad is the 2 year guarantee. The pen has a good weight and is nicely balanced, the chrome parts are smooth, the matte blue barrel, which is slightly wider than some other pens, looks good, is comfortable to grip and is non slip. The push button action is silky smooth. Writing is a pleasure. A lovely classy pen.
