Product Details
The Pilot Parallel Pen represents a major breakthrough in calligraphy pen design!

The pen nib consists of two parallel plates, allowing the writer to produce lines sharper than existing calligraphy pens. You can also create gradated lines and mixed colors with its special mixable color ink. (Calligraphy artwork kindly provided by JetPens customer Josh Scruggs.)

Four nib widths are available for your writing needs: 1.5 mm, 2.4 mm, 3.8 mm and 6.0 mm.

The name "calligraphy" comes from the Greek words for "beautiful" (calli) and "writing way" (graphy). Capture the charm of beautiful handwriting with this very cherished and unique form of expression!

rf2444, this isn't properly speaking a forum, but I'll offer some information: the effect shown above is obtained by transferring ink from one pen's nib to another by gravity and capillary action.

Use two pens, inked in different colors: one in (say) red, the other in blue. Hold the red pen upright with its nib up. Briefly -- *briefly*, no more than a few seconds -- touch the blue pen's nib to ...

Since most of what needed to be said has been said I just want to add to the love.

They are very wet writers - smooth as silk and for people like me with very non-steady hands I was able to accomplish lovely smooth sweeping lines like I was never able to do before. These pens are amazing for both beginner and experienced artist.

The mixing of inks is so sensitive - you literally have to bare...

I'm going to have to join the chorus of praises on this page and sing another one for the Pilot Parallel.

It's a bit of a paradox. The Parallel is cheap - very cheap. And it's overtly plastic, and it's not even that elegantly put together. Its plastic parts have seam lines all over the place, the silver color of the body isn't 100% even... And yet, it doesn't matter one lick, because the Parall...

My 5th JetPens Review! Hip Hip Hurray!

Everyone here just seems to love these Pilot Parallel Pens. Well I must admit, I do too! These pens are, FREAKING AWESOME!

Now don't get upset JetPens, but these are so much more responsive than the Lamy Joy Calligraphy pens or Safari Italic nibs. I've ground my Lamy nibs and could not get the crisp line and smoothness of pen to paper as the Pilot Paral...
