Alex L.Top Contributor: Fountain Pens

Very nice!

Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2017

Style: Pen with gift boxSize: Medium nibColor: Nightsky BlueVerified Purchase

I own quite a few fountain pens (Lamy, Waterman, Pilot, TWSBI, etc.). This is my first Parker, however. I have to say that I enjoy this pen! Mine has a medium nib, and it writes a fairly broad line, much like my Waterman Expert (Parker and Waterman are owned by Rubbermaid). Much broader and wetter than a Japanese fountain pen. Since this Urban is a wet pen, I find that it writes well with dry inks, such as Pelikan and Parker Quink. I find it most comfortable to write with it unposted, as the cap adds a bit of weight and can fatigue my hand if I'm writing a lot. The nib is stainless steel and is quite adequate. Not the smoothest out there but certainly not scratchy. I would certainly recommend this pen to someone who is new to fountain pens or someone who wants to upgrade from an inexpensive entry level pen. It seems very sturdy and has a good heft to it. I like it quite a bit. It has become my new EDC pen. If you decide to get the Urban, be sure to also buy a converter for it so that you can buy bottles of ink. The converter does not come with the Urban. It is sold separately. I find ink cartridges to be quite limiting and unappealing. There is an incredible amount of variety in bottled ink out there.

Bad start, but with love and care, writes lovely now.

Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2017

Style: Pen with gift boxSize: Fine nibColor: Muted BlackVerified Purchase

Like some of the other reviews on this pen, I had experienced alarmingly bad performance, such as skipping upon its first couple of days of short entries in my notebook. I was scared that my money was wasted on what looked like a great investment for a newbie like me, but I gave the pen a little love and care (tried adjusting by prying the nib apart just a little), as well as giving it some good ink (Iroshizuku Take-sumi), and it writes wonderfully. I can't stop using this pen, I love it. I also bought and installed the cartridge that it DOESN'T come with. What a shame.

Because of the extra effort I put into this pen, can't help but enjoy writing almost everyday with it. I would love to give it five stars now, but because of the hassle to getting it to write properly, I can't say that I would recommend it with the way it's sold. But, if you are willing to fork out more money to buy a descent bottled ink and the DARN EXPENSIVE PROPRIETARY CARTRIDGE CONVERTER, then this will surely give you at least a great writing experience.

PLEASE ADJUST AT YOUR OWN RISK if you do plan on fixing the nib if there are any problems from the start.

Stopped working after a few days.

Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2018

Style: Pen with gift boxSize: Fine nibColor: Muted BlackVerified Purchase

I bought this a few months ago. Every other pen I've purchased (Cross, Pilot, other brands) seem to work very reiliably. This pen won't write most of the time. If it sits for more than a couple days (yes, the cap is on right,) it stops writing. Sometimes it'll start up with just a few minutes of fiddling with it. This last time, I tried getting it to write for about 5 minutes before giving up. It's a really nice looking pen, so it's a disappointment that it's not working. Especially since it costs at least double some of the other pens I have.

Some things I've tried:

Rinsing the nib in cold water, drying throughly, then refilling with ink
Examined the places where the ink will flow and making sure they're free from clogs and debris

Still doesn't work.

Solid, Dependable, Consistent Writer

Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2020

Style: Fountain Pen KitSize: MediumColor: BlackVerified Purchase

The Parker pen label goes back to the 19th century, and I grew up aware of this company and its main competitor (it seemed to me) Sheaffer. I wanted a modestly priced pen to see if I would like it. Now that it's owned by a French company, I wasn't sure.

This pen has been an absolute delight. It can lie unused for a week or two, but the moment I pull off the cap to write, the ink flows immediately. I like to use different ink colors, so I purchased the deluxe converter (the one supplied worked okay, but I preferred the screw-top to the push/pull lever). I also like to use a craft syringe to refill an emptied cartridge. Blue, black, or blue-black ink, this pen has been a modestly smooth writer, and I've thoroughly enjoyed using it. I think I've chosen to use Parker Qwink Blue-Black as my preferred ink color, but both Parker's black and blue inks are good color saturation through this pen.

I can recommend it without hesitation. One caveat, if it's important: the cartridges and converters are proprietary, that is, need to be Parker brand to work with Parker fountain pens. I only wish I could afford one of their Duofold models, but since I cannot, I will be happily contented with this model. I like that where I hold the pen it's a little "thicker" because I need a "fatter" pen. This model fills that need. Solid pen, dependable and consistent.

Palindrome

Really good, especially for the price

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 15, 2019

Style: Pen with gift boxSize: Medium nibColor: Muted BlackVerified Purchase

This newer version of the Parker Urban fountain pen is reputedly a big improvement over the earlier more 'sculptural' one which had issues with the nibs. First impressions are of a good quality, nicely designed pen which performs well.

It is a medium sized pen, with a heavy all-metal construction (except for the nib holder). This gives it nice weight and balance, allowing good control. The snap cap fits the pen positively and will post on the pen and it may improve balance, giving less pressure on the nib. However, this results in a little less 'precision'. Posting the cap requires some pressure to sit firmly with a satisfying click. The good weight of the pen means that it doesn't waggle around like all-plastic pens often do. The matt finish and chrome/steel fittings give a traditional appearance bordering on unexciting. Overall, it is a fairly comfortable pen to use if you like small to medium sized ones. My personal preference is for a larger diameter pen than this for long essays (I have 'normal' size hands).

The small fine/medium nib is steel and has virtually no flex, giving a solid, even, but largely characterless stroke much like a fibre-tip or gel pen. It writes well with no pressure at all on the nib; pressing it just puts more ink down. Ink flow is on the wet side (good) with no skipping or hard/dry starts even after a week of no use. It is quite smooth - not the smoothest - and there is some 'feedback' while writing on normal paper. Smoothness improves with use. It is supplied with a cartridge: Parker converters fit tightly.

The Urban doesn't carry any markings to indicate where it is made, so my inference is that it is sourced from China (it has some resemblance to a Parker IM which is definitely made in China) . That is not a negative point in any way: many Chinese pens perform exceptionally well. It is better made than, say, most Jinhao pens (which are nevertheless very good).

Summary: a good pen for the price and excellent value if it can be bought discounted. Recommended. Take the negative review from people who don't bother to leanr how to use and maintain a fountain pen - they would complain that wooden pencils don't stay sharp!

Parker 'Urban Fountain Pen': matt black/gold finish with 'fine' nib option

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 31, 2019

Style: Pen with gift boxSize: Fine nibColor: Muted Black and GoldVerified Purchase

By comparing this 'Urban' pen with my older 'Cross' fountain pen I can only surmise that Parker are further ahead with this technology - I found the quietly elegant appearence of the pen underlines a complex, 'ergonmically sound' design; I love the balance of the pen, the pen grip distance from the nib, the satisfying metallic weight of the pen (with the cap placed snugly at the end of the barrel) - all of which serve to support accurate, expressive and smooth writing.
The superior (cf 'Cross') writing experience improves with the quality of the paper used, but this is a minor point for me as I had excellent results on both a 'pukka jotta pad' and my journal.
The flow of ink through the fine nib is managed signicantly better than my outgoing 'Cross' fountain pen - the colour of the ink can now be better appreciated and the ink lasts longer, compartively. The fine nib provides a sharp, clean yet vivid writing experience with the stainless steel nib underpinning a smooth, free-flowing writing style. I clean my own regularly before refilling the cartridge, as such I rarely have a patchy ink flow experience. When I haven't used the open for several days I do have to press slightly (and I do mean slightly) harder to invigorate the ink flow, but once it starts flowing I haven't experienced any problems.

In an age where we are remembering how to better protect our planet, a fountain pen makes sense.
When I purchased the pen it was available at a modest discount, which gives an acceptable cost/performance ratio - for me. I use it with a dedicated, twist action, refillable cartridge and Parker's blue/black ink.

I have updated this review (Dec 2020) after using the pen frequently over the past year. So far it's still proving to be a lovely experience and, when writing, I genuinely get a little thrillas I use my Parker Urban fountain pen.

Heartily recommended, a year on.

Beautiful smooth entry level pen

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 17, 2019

Style: Pen with gift boxSize: Fine nibColor: Nightsky BlueVerified Purchase

Beautiful pen which writes incredibly smooth. Visually, the Night Sky blue isn't quite as shiny as it looks in the photos but it's still a beautiful colour with a more satin type finish. It doesn't come with a converter so you'll have to buy one separately. However, when using a converter with your own inks, bear in mind that it writes on the wet side, so it's not ideal as an everyday carry (when using your own inks) unless you can guarantee that you're not going to have to write on lower quality paper.

Pros:
-Beautiful shape and colour
-Nice weight and balance in the hand
-Writes beautifully smooth
-Very comfortable to use (Could use for hours without tiring)

Cons
-Doesn't come with a converter
-Not ideal on cheap paper

Just remember that fountain pens need regular cleaning and maintenance to keep the ink flowing nicely. Overall, I'm really happy with it. Looks and feels beautiful in the hand :)

Great nib but can have hard starts.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 6, 2018

Style: Pen with gift boxSize: Fine nibColor: VioletVerified Purchase

I already had 5 of the new Parker Urban model pens when I purchased this one.

They are great writers in my opinion. I find the medium nib on it far more pleasurable to write with than my Lamy or Diplomat mediums.

4/5
The reason I don't love the pen overall is that ink tends to seen into and dry up in the feed and hard starts can become apparent after only 2 days with some inks (in my case, darker ones).

Inks I've had hard starts with:
Pelikan Edelstein: Black
Visconti: Green
Diamine: Grey
However, this can easily be rectified by dipping the nib in water for <2 seconds and wiping with tissue but, It's not something I expect from a pen in this price range. It is perfectly livable for me as these pens stay on my desk.
It also seems avoidable by using the pen every day.

If the nib wasn't as amazing as I believe it to be then I would have given this 2/3 stars and I wouldn't own 5 of them.

Not overly impressed

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 29, 2020

Style: Pen with gift boxSize: Medium nibColor: PearlVerified Purchase

Although this pen is appealing to look at, and fairly comfortable to hold, I found it scratchy to write with and my handwriting suffered as a result. I’m not sure whether to put this down to the ink flow, or the nib perhaps?

Pity. I’ll have to continue my search for a classy looking mid-range, mid-priced fountain pen. This one is not it.
