Parker Infusion Carbon Ball Point Pen

Ergonomic grip without being overdone. Nice weight, seems durable, thick poly and metal. Though thick plastic end, may not stand up to being placed in back pocket and sitting on it. May warp. Parker refills are the best! If you get an old dry one with them pen, just find your local Office Depot or order from Amazon for fresh ones. Smooth writing, better than most at good price.

I've been on a 20 year quest to find my perfect pen. I have nearly 400 pens now. My wife says I have a problem. Parker makes pens in every price range. The infusion is toward the low end of the spectrum. The Parker Infusion has a nice heft and balance. The barrel is made of brushed stainless steel, and is 2mm thick. The retracting mechanism is Parker's usual smooth action. The clip holds tight without bending. The tapered center of the barrel makes the pen fit perfectly in my grip. The pen feels natural in the hand, and writes very smoothly and effortlessly whether using traditional ballpoint refills, Quink or gel refills. So why only 4 stars? The plastic top and bottom add a cheap feel and look to an otherwise elegant pen. Additionally, the point is not very visible due to the wide opening. I like to see the point against the paper, and it is difficult with so much material around the opening. So, for now, I usually reach for my old Parker Jotter.

I am a fan of Parker pens and have several from the IM line. I like the style and prefer the gel ink cartridges from Parker. I tried this pen because it had an interesting look that differed from my standard tube retractable. The pen looks as it does in the photo but I discovered that the black ends are plastic; that's a points reduction for me. Overall, it's a nice pen with an interesting look (the clip is a little different than the standard Parker arrow giving it a unique look), but even though the plastic is a good quality it's a let down for me. Not sure what makes this an ergonomic design as stated in the product description. My fingers grasp up by the nib and the rear of the tube (black part) rests on my hand so the concave center makes no difference except maybe weight distribution. It didn't feel much different to me than holding a standard IM series retractable except that it is a bit heavier.

Es un esfero con mucho estilo, aunque un poco pesado; en resumidas cuentas me encantó, totalmente recomendable y sobre todo, no es un esfero comun

it is exelent

I expected the ink to be black rather than blue. Also, not sure how pleased I am with the shape and hardness of the plastic grip. I'd probably try any future one at this price or higher in a store first, if I find such a store. But am glad to have a good pen to try. I thought I had left it behind one of the first days and was delighted to find it on the floor of my car!

I love Parker pens .
