Question 1

Do the same refills work with the various sized pens and which size pen is best for addressing wedding invitations?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the same refills work in all the parallel pens--and the colors are pretty cool. You would definitely want the smallest size--1.2mm I think? A word of warning: I love these pens (I bought one in every size) and the flow is incredible, but here's a caveat: because they put out a fair amount of ink (hence the nice flow), they work best on very "inert" paper (like parchment or layout paper); otherwise, your work will bleed like crazy. Though not as flowing, the Shaeffer cartridge pens work pretty well and can be used on less forgiving paper. Their "M" nib is also 1.2 mm. Hope that helps!

Question 2

can open ink cartridges be stored in between color changes on the same pen?

Accepted Answer

I use Press and Seal plastic wrap around the partially used cartridges once I take them out of the Pen. I store them horizontally so the hole is less likely to get clogged with dried ink. If you find that it has just take a water-dampened  lint-free wipe (like is used for gel-nails etc) and gently wipe the dried area until clean. (I also clean out empty cartridges with water from a small syringe and refill with my own ink even though it warns that it could clog the pen - I find that nonsense as long as the ink is waterbased and the nib is cleaned before storing.)

Question 3

Do these refills work for all Pilot pens? like the Pilot Falcon?

Accepted Answer

I don't have the Falcon but you can look at Pilotpens website and it does not list either the parallel or falcon as being interchangeable for refills.  The Q & A for the falcon ink refill says that it can be done but you may have leaks.  Considering the price of a Falcon, I wouldn't try it without knowing for certain.

Question 4

do these work with your Pilot Parallel Pen 2-Color Calligraphy Pen Set, with Red and Blue Ink Cartridges, 1.5mm Nib (90050)?

Accepted Answer

All Pilot Parallel Pen pens work with the same ink cartridges, so, yes.
