I think the G2 is somewhat of a trivial pen. It writes smoothly at first, right out of the package, but over time, if you let it dry out a bit, it will write like a dry quill pen. The ball tends to jam with dried ink, but this is typical of rollerballs. After a while, the line tends to become a bit inconsistent. It's a good red pen for teachers who correct papers every day, but then again, the ink WILL smear...

The Parker Jotter is one of the flagship pens that Parker produces.

The design of the stainless barrel is very interesting. The stainless threads are stamped into the metal, instead of being milled or tapped. The threads inside of the cap are plastic, which to some degree, contradicts the stainless threads on the barrel. The plunger action is very firm, with a strong spring. The pen is quite light, which could be both an advantage as well as a disadvantage. This pen is not suited for long term writing.

This review is almost identical to my review of the Parker Jotter with the stainless barrel. However, I am doing a separate review on the plastic barrel version because there are some details that are different from the stainless version.
