5 PCS Jinhao 248 Fountain Pen Fine Nib 5 Colors Set with Refillable Converters, Light Colored

I work as a web and print designer so I am constantly writing notes and sketching. I realized I was avoiding my fountain pens for this because I couldn't be sure they would work dependably. I bought this 5-pack because I was impressed by the reviews on how well these pens write. I'm super satisfied with their smoothness and steady ink flow on all types of paper. I can write small letters without the ink blotting; or write large sweeping letters without the line breaking up. These things are as dependable as writing with a ballpoint but a lot more fun. I do like the techy design (including the pocket clip) and how light these pens are. They are a little short for my hand but posting the very light cap solves that. Finally, the cost makes them a must-buy. I know there will be one in my drawing tool case as well as being my everyday carry.

I was not expecting much of these pens, but like another reviewer I bought them to have for trying new inks. I use them frequently in little mandala doodles and they are surprisingly smooth. I also have a few Bastion fountain pens with Moon Man nibs that look nicer than these but are considerably scratchier. The light colored set I ordered seems to have a mix of fine and extra fine nibs based on the labeling on the nibs themselves, but the actual lines they put down aren't noticeably thinner/thicker. I have a pen with a medium Schmidt nib and some of these seem to put down line of similar width. So if you're really into fine or extra fine and dislike medium, these are probably going to annoy you. But overall, I don't mind using these. They are light and very plastic-y (I prefer metal pens), but they write smooth and are attractive for the cost.

They work perfectly fine for the cost. They are cheap but write smoothly on almost any decent paper. The grip has a three-side support that makes writing easier and more relaxed.

Just received these yesterday, and have only tried one of the five pens, so I can't say much about the quality control or longevity of this Jinhao 248.But the one I tried this morning is surprisingly good for a $2 pen. The F nib, like most Jinhao F nibs, is more like a medium, but it writes reasonably smoothly with a bit of feedback (I filled it with Pilot Iroshizuku Yama-budo, which is a fairly wet ink). The grip is triangular, although not nearly as much as a Lamy Safari. It's more like the grip on a Pilot Kakuno. In fact, this Jinhao 248 looks and feels a lot like an opaque Pilot Kakuno.The cap posts securely, although the pen is long enough that posting isn't necessary even for someone with larger than average hands. The clip, while kind of ugly, is quite functional. Each of the pens includes a converter, which is something that some of the more luxury manufacturers should note.Recommended to anyone looking for functional, dirt-cheap pens.

The media could not be loaded.  I am loving these so much that I am ordering a 3rd set! These are reminiscent of a Pilot Kakuna, but have enough differences that they aren't a knock off. I love that they have a clip, are affordable, come with a converter, and write pretty smoothly.

I loved the colors in this collection. The nibs are fine (I normally like a broader nib) but very smooth. Light weight

I purchased both the pens 🖊 and the ink cartridges both JINHAO products. The cartridges WILL NOT work with these pens. The cartridge WILL NOT puncture to deliver the ink to the nib.What a waste of time and money.These were purchased for my college freshman, I do not expect to hear a word from the manufacturer. Another RIP OFF!

Wrong size nibs. I ordered 20 pens (4 packages) with FINE nibs. The product description and the packaging said FINE but the fountain pens were stamped EF (EXTRA FINE). The EF nibs are too scratchy for me. I consider the wrong nibs a serious mistake. I am returning the pens. I probably would have rated the pens as excellent had they sent the correct nibs. I have twenty (20) Jinhao X159 with FINE nibs and those pens are excellent.

Though i received the product late by seller i must say the quality is excellent! For fine nib they are extremely smooth writers! Just go for it!
