Calligraphy Pen with Flat Nib Pilot Parallel Pen 3.8mm

Flat nib fountain pen for Western calligraphy. The best choice for beginners.

Parallel Pen, produced by the Japanese corporation Pilot Pen Corp, is one of the most popular fountain pens among calligraphers!

There are good reasons for the popularity of this pen. The Parallel Pen has a unique pen design - two parallel steel plates welded together with a small gap. This design allows for a continuous stroke of any length, both with the cut of the pen and the angle of the cut of the pen. And ensures uniform ink flow across the entire width of the pen, up to a width of 6.0mm! Also, the pen is made of high-quality plastic that does not crack or break, which will ensure a long life for your favorite pen.

The fountain pen is refilled with special ink cartridges, which are produced in packs: 6 pieces (one color), 12 pieces (multi-colored). If the ink dries out, the fountain pen is washed with water, for which a special pipette is included in the kit.
The cartridge can be refilled with any water-based ink.

Pros:

+ uniform ink flow over the entire range of pen widths;
