## Description

A breakthrough in calligraphy pen design, these pens feature a nib that consists of two parallel plates, allowing the writer to produce lines sharper than existing calligraphy pens. Ink cartridges can be switched in the pen to create gradated color lines and mixed colors. This set contains 4 pens with different size nibs (1.5mm, 2.4mm, 3.8mm and 6.0mm). Each pen comes with 2 ink cartridges [black and red]. These calligraphy pens are refillable. Additional Parallel Pen ink cartridges are sold separately.

Review: Nice pen for drawing or calligraphy - This is a good pen for a good price. It is easy to put in the cartridge and does not clog. I tried it for drawing and it is great for getting variety in the thickness of the line. Apparently you can get cartridges of ink in many colors. Be aware, the ink is not permanent. If you use it and then add watercolor to the drawing, the ink becomes liquid. In some cases that is good. But not always.
Review: Pilot pen - Yes a good calligraphy pen

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Has anyone found metallic or white ink for these pens?? Or have any idea how to refill a cartilage?**
A: hopefully you have figured this out by now but you can refill the old cartridges with a blunt syringe look at Goulet pens or pen chalet, or you can get a pilot converter from them but you would still have to manually fill it with a syringe. Both companys and even here on Amazon have amazing inks now in any color under the sun and plenty with metallic in them, i love to write and play with those. As for white ink i have used Noodler's Whiteness of the Whale with great results.

**Q: are there another version of pens with tilted pen tip ?**
A: 1. If you are asking because you are left-handed, Pilot does sell a L handed Parallel Pen series.
2.  If you are right-handed, simply change the angle of your nib for each alphabet, eg, 45⁰ for Italic or 30⁰ for Uncials, etc.

**Q: Ink won't come out**
A: Make sure the cartridge is fully seated. Pull it out and look for the hole. It took me a few tries to pierce it the first time.

Very gently squeeze the cartridge just a little over a paper towel or the sink. You don't want a splatter mess. That should get it started. 

If that fails, wet the tip of a paper towel and brush it lightly against the nib. That can get messy unless you're careful, but it's a solid way to get the ink flow started.

**Q: The title says it is a 4 nib pen set with different sizes. What are the options that say 1-5 pack vs a 5.000?**
A: The nib is a 4.0mm ..its under the 5.0mm but bigger then the 3.5mm

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love these.
*by T***T on December 13, 2024*

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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best calligraphy pens ever!
*by R***. on November 14, 2025*

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 quality
*by J***R on January 7, 2026*

Great pen! Very fun to use!
