Pilot Parallel 4 Nib Calligraphy Pen Set, 1.5mm, 2.4mm, 3.8mm & 6.0mm Nibs, Includes 4 Black & 4 Red Ink Cartridges (90078)

I love love love these pens. They make learning to write in calligraphy so much easier. They are comfortable and are easy to grip. They aren’t very sharp, but do you have a blunt edge. They are very expensive, but I love them so I will definitely buy them again. If you have them sitting the wrong way, they could leak so you have to be careful and the ink goes very very very quickly. But this is really the best way to learn calligraphy… I wish they had metallic colors as an option for pigment, but they do have 12 different colors that you can use and you can replace the ink cartridges easily. It’s also very easy to clean and so much fun to write with.

I’ve been a fan of these pens since I discovered them in high school! Recently rediscovered my calligraphy supplies and started again. All my parallel pens from 2016 still work perfectly fine (after cleaning years worth of buildup) but I’m glad they added a 3.0 mm option! The white looks so much prettier than the previous grey body. These are my absolute favorite for blackletter calligraphy !!

Great pen! Very fun to use!

Update: woo hoo! Just saved this pen from exile by buying the con50 converter and some Noodlers no feather ink. You can get the converter here: Pilot Fountain Pen Converter (CON-50) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0016YWJZ8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_MIIhzbDSPNCP8 The pen in incredible. The ink, however, is terrible. I'm no calligraphy savant, which is probably why I found myself buying this pen over more traditional fountain or dip pens. I write very hard and tense and I wanted something that offered the ease of a calligraphy marker with the look of a calligraphy pen. I'm amazed at how easily the ink flows from this, especially when compared to the garbage calligraphers signature I was working with. This pen draws without interruption no matter how the pen is held (which I understand is not always a good thing for rearing the young calligrapher). But im not a calligrapher. I'm just a person who wants to have better handwriting and experiment with different techniques until I inevitably get bored and more on to a new fad. I'm a little suprised at how cheap the pen feels when I think about the fact that bargain ballpoint pens feel a lot nicer than this. I really wish this came in a smaller size nib. I got the smallest offered at 1.5 per the recommendations of various reviews, but it's still too big for me to write smaller than the height of two binder paper lines. Basically, give this pen different ink and a smaller nib and I'd probably never look elsewhere.

Such a pleasant writing experience. Absolutely my favorite nib. This is my primary in my Opus 88. I've put at least 15 mL of ink through it, and I just can't get away from the versatility and beautiful script it produces. It's kind of what I imagine having a brush pen is like without having a brush AND having the ability to make quite thin and very straight lines! Despite the fact that I use the Opus 88 and not the handle that it comes with, the original handle feels quite nice in the hand. A bit thin, but still sufficiently pleasant. I found the 2.4mm a bit too thick for standard writing, but 1.5mm is awesome! I write on a 6mm grid with no issue, but some might find <7mm a bit constrictive. Note: the attached pictures of writing are *after* I rounded the corner of the nib. Main critiques: I'd like the thin side to be a little bit thinner. The flow rate is a bit high. I keep the valve on my Opus 88 closed, but the first line or two after I refill the writing chamber, it can write a bit heavy — causing feathering. Despite making thin lines, the high flow rate makes cross hatching challenging since the ends of lines blot a bit. If you're not careful with your writing, a corner can catch, spattering ink as the two halves of the nib rapidly spread and slap together. This isn't damage to the pen, rather splattering all over your work. It can happen quite easily on back strokes. Modded: If you want to avoid the aforementioned splattering/chattering, you can file/round down one of the corners. Be careful not to remove too much material... sand, test, sand, test. I took off too much, so the line variation and max thickness were reduced a bit too much, but I'm still very satisfied with the result. The mod reduced the flow, made the average line a bit thinner, and reduced the corner catching which has taken this from a 10 to an 11. Though, honestly, I've ordered another OEM so that I can go back and forth. Both versions are so much fun!

I use these with Noodler brand "firefly" highlighter ink to add highlights to documents... unlike dollar store highlighters these will maintain colour and consistency... I refill the cartridges using a blunt end syringe (available on line or at specialty pen shops).... I've been doing this for decades and have various width Pilot parallel pens for different jobs...

Ich habe mehrere von diesen Feder-Pens. Ich nutze sie für die Kalligraphie und bin mit der Qualität bei allen sehr zufrieden. Kann ich nur empfehlen.
