The cap snaps on and off with a firm click. Those of you who've had poorly-made pens may be unimpressed by the sound of this, but only because you're used to this jarring ink out of inferior pens and causing leakage inside the cap that transfers to the pen -- and then your fingers. This isn't an issue with the Dryden, however. The ink stays in the pen, as it's supposed to, until you actually write.
Speaking of writing, the nib is made such that writing is smooth, yet not blotchy. Some are known to skip a little and my pen does this occasionally as well, but it is a fountain pen, and the experience with any fountain is going to be a bit different and more old-school than a cheap ballpoint. A fountain pen speaks of class, elegance, sophistication, and old-world values. That said, just as with their users, they all have their own character.
Can you get a better pen? Well, that depends on your definition of "better." You can certainly spend more... hundreds or even thousands more, to impress others, who, 99.9 % of the time, won't even notice. The Dryden is about impressing YOU, and if "better" means value, functionality, craftsmanship, and a company that stands behind their product, then I think finding better would be a challenge.
I liked the looks of this so I ordered one. It’s very attractive and finely finished but is difficult to start first time and writing is not as smooth or pleasant as other option. In fact, it took me several tries to get it to write satisfactorily. Loading a cartridge - i followed the instructions installing a cartridge, but it took an overnight wait get ink to flow, and it still Is not flowing evenly. It varies between full dark ink and quite thin on the page.
After using the pen for a week, and cleaning it thoroughly, I added a star back to my review. At this point its writing is nicely, and I am not getting the skips I had been getting at the beginning, so the ink flow is far more normal and the scratchy feeling has minimized. Fast forward another several days and it has settled in - writing well and smoothly.
If it were not so fussy getting started, I would have rated it 5-stars.
UPDATE:
I have to take a couple stars off this review. After having used a Hongdian that my son purchased and a Parker that my spouse purchased, I can no longer consider this a 5 star product. The writing is not smooth in comparison, nor is the consistency of the way the ink is laid down. It can be very spotty and you have to hold the nib at just the right angle to keep the ink flowing well. When the ink is flowing it still can write well, but having compared the pen to 2 other brands that actually perform really well, I am not as impressed with it as I was when first used.
Yet another update:
So I made a slight adjustment to the nib by simply pressing down with a moderate amount of force and at about 45 degree angle. This caused the 2 prongs of the nib to separate a bit and now the ink is flowing well with much less skipping. Gave another star back to the pen. I still enjoy writing with this very much.
The flow of the ink from this pen since it was first received is REMARKABLY better. It is definitely a 5 star pen. Writes very smooth and wet. As well as virtually any fountain pen I own.
