My Jinhaos outperform this Parker by lightyears, it has the 'legendary' drying issue, the ink dries out in days no matter what you do... Highly recommend to pass on this. Better get a vintage 21 or 45...
Lajos.AndrejkovicsI too like my Jinhao FPs, but was wondering why you are having drying problems with the Parker ink? I use quite a few of the Parker Quink cartridges, both because I love the ink capacity and how permanent the ink is. I also have used the Parker proprietary ink cartridges in other FPs as a hack, especially to increase ink capacity. I have not had drying issues, but then again I live in the soggy Pacific Northwest.
Lajos.AndrejkovicsI actually use Parker Quink cartridges in my Jinhaos - better ink, and better capacity. I agree that the ink that comes with the Jinhoa FP is garbage. I tried to write with about half of a cartridge and tossed it.
Lajos.AndrejkovicsMy Parker Urban Premium (Medium) is used maybe once a week, and i have never had a drying issue. Not sure if it's the same nib or whether the semi-hooded nature of the Urban (the old model, anyway) would make a difference. Currently I use Pilot Iroshuzuki Shin-Kai in my matte black pen.
Lajos.AndrejkovicsNot sure about the Urban Premium line, never had one. But my IM dries whether I store it tip up, tip down or horizontally...even with superwet Koh-I-Noor inks...
