JINHAO X750 Fountain Pen M Nib (Steel Body)

Product Information

I will say, though, that of the 7 or 8 pens I bought that belong to this 'family', the only one that has had problems with an inner cap splitting was an x450 - so yes, you may be right about posting being a greater problem. It seems all nibs of the design used on this pen are the same, only some are plated and some are not. The nib has "18KGP" stamped in it, which I suspect is to describe the versions of this nib that are plated with 18 carat gold, and Jinhao does not mind the inaccurate description on the unplated ones. I much prefer the unplated steel nib on this pen, but I find it unnecessary to indicate that a nib is plated on the nib. It would be better not to say anything about plating on the nib like most other manufacturers. Thanks for the pics, Karl! I marginally preferred the x450, as mentioned above - I found the ribbing gave me a better grip, but it wasn't like a Safari where the grip points constrain you to hold the pen only one way. I also found the nibs a little more consistently smooth - though, like you, I swapped most of them out for Goulet nibs (I bought about 6!).

The Jinhao 992 goes for a clean, clear plastic aesthetic allowing you to see the inner components of the pen itself. You are also able to see the ink feed towards the top of the nib as that section is also plastic. So, overall? This pen is a good writer and a decent pen to hold. It seems just slightly too unwieldy when posted, so I may have to use it unposted. The nib is a dream compared to its Chinese brethren, however, and is definitely the selling point. The good news is that the pen allows for posting and is very light. The pen puts down a nice amount of ink onto the paper and allows for a good upside-down flow. The Jinhao 999 is themed after a traditional Chinese dragon with a bright red soul stone in the center. Ours was a bright blue but it’s also available in red and grey.

Conclusion

It sounds like you may need to remove the nib and feed and unclog the feed. These pens are known to be wet writers with excellent flow. FPR nibs aren't bad, but you get what you pay for and they may not fit. It's not worth wasting the money especially with how much better a Jowo nib is.

The Jinhao 599 has a number 6 sized nib that is made from stainless steel. It also has a Jinhao branded converter that holds a reasonable amount of ink. The pen is no doubt made for someone with large or average hands. It's not a small pen, and although the cap posts solidly, the full length when posted is substantial. It won't break any measurement records, but it's neither slim nor short. Some models, like the No products found., are targeted towards those who want something more dramatic Other pens, like the Jinhao x750 or x450, come in the standard cigar shape and a variety of colors.Jinhao markets itself as the best starting point for beginners who are looking to dip their toes into fountain pens. The pen writes a consistent, wet line for a short period of time, but the line becomes progressively weaker, and on occasion the flow has stopped, in the course of an hour of note-taking.
