Thornton's Art Supply Disposable Fine Fountain Pens, Pack of 12 (TOS-DFPAST12F)

I bought these pens for my students to use while learning to write in cursive. They are easy to use and provide bold, consistent color.

The quality of this set is to die for!Im a kind of person who uses a pen till the Ink wears out and honestly these go along way! Best money I spent! Some times if you press to hard they will leak in your fingers or kind of leave splotches on your paper! Over all I really love this pen set!

I didn't have very high expectations from a set of fountain pens that only cost around $1.00 each. I use the Platinum Preppy fountain pens which cost around $3 each and provide an excellent writing experience in terms of reliability, feel in the hand, durability, and color saturation. that's what I'm comparing the Thornton's pens to.Most of the pens had great color. I really liked the blues, purples, and brown. The magenta was also a great color. The light green, orange, and pink were a bit faint against the white test paper. Yellow was illegible. I am not able to use that pen.All of the pens wrote immediately or within a couple of seconds when I tested them.The pens feel as cheap as they were. They're very light, but that probably will help their durability considering their method of construction. I have no comment on the capacity of the pens because it normally takes me a month to go through a cartridge of ink on my cartridge pens.The feel of the pens while writing is a bit scratchy. I know that fine pens don't glide nearly as well as Medium pens, but I use exclusively fine and extra-fine tips. These fine tips had slightly more resistance than even my extra-fine Platinum Preppy.As far as color selection and price, These pens are great and will work well for my purpose (small personalized gift bags for the office) or for someone who just wants a large selection of colors and has little experience with fountain pens. I would not recommend that anyone uses these as indicative of fountain pens have to offer as a writing experience. My primary reason for that is that these pens lack the smoothness that's one of the biggest draws for people that do a lot of writing by hand. For that, I would send someone to the Preppy 03 size variety pack. Fewer colors, but better quality. The extra drag might be advantageous for younger writers though because it offers greater control if you don't have a steady hand.I would give these pens a 5/5 for color & price, but a 2/5 for overall quality. I would average that to 4/5. I'm pleased enough with what I bought considering the price and my expectations. There's certainly room to improve in some areas of Thornton's writing supplies.

These pens don’t leak. They’re a good weight for your hand then they write nicely. Some pins are goofy, but these are not. They’re very nice design and comfortable. These are good gift for those that are pen nerds or for those that are artists.

Love the way they write and smooth ink. The caps are ill fitting and split easily causing them to dry up quickly. I wish the pack came with more blue and red.

Love these

I love these fountain pens. There is like one or two that are a little bit trickier to use at times, but I just love these pens! I use them at work all the time for various things.

I bought these to help my daughter to improve her handwriting. She has a habit of rushing through her schoolwork and the result is illegible writing. Since you often have to write slower with a fountain pen, I thought I would give these a try. I bought these, because you can't beat the price ($12) for all these pens. I love that you get so many colors, which makes these all the more fun for my daughter. I tried them myself and and happy to report that all but two write very smoothly. The other two write well, but the ink flow is a little bit more limited than the rest of them. I am a long time user of and collector of fountain pens myself and highly recommend these to someone who wants to introduce their children to the art of writing with fountain pens or wants an inexpensive starter set.
