Being left-handed, I always had problems to find a pen that satisfies me ... Let the ball hang or ink flows poorly ... With the Parker IM Premium, I was really surprise: the writing is fluid and the ball slips nicely on paper. I also love the color blue ink, not too dark or too light and the input / output system of the ball works fine ... This pen will not leave me! If we add that this pen is very beautiful object (even if pink is not my favorite color, I would have liked a pastel blue), with a metal body that looks solid and light graphic design print on pink, one can only put him 5 stars.
