Pilot Parallel Fountain Pen - Teal, 4.5mm
The Pilot Parallel fountain pen is a major breakthrough in calligraphy pen design. The unique parallel plate structure achieves a more beautiful and sharper handwriting than existing calligraphy pens. This product comes with a Parallel pen with a 4.5mm stub italic nib, one black and one red ink cartridge, a converter to flush the pen, and a nib cleaner.
Using two Pilot Parallel Pens, each with different Pilot Parallel Mixable color cartridges, you produce beautifully gradated lettering by touching the nibs together before writing. To use with bottled fountain pen ink, the Pilot Con-40 converter works best (sold separately).

Customer Reviews
I can’t say enough good things about the Pilot Parallel Pens, hands down my absolute favorite for lettering. I’m currently really into Blackletter Gothic and Tattoo but just transitioned more into Caligraffiti type Blackletter. The Goulet Pen Company is absolutely amazing! When they say your order will be packed with a ridiculous amount of care they ARE NOT kidding. I even emailed them about a concern I had, and they got right back to me. Above and beyond to say the least!!!!

These come with a wonderful detailed instruction booklet which makes them highly beginner friendly! Works great with the recommended converter!The nib makes blending colors effortless (as long as you follow the directions ;) ), and I've gotten such beautiful results with this technique!*All marks in my scratch-pad-test picture were the 4.5mm and Noodler's inks*
The parallel series are my workhorses for my professional calligraphy work and I'm stoked that Goulet carries the new sizes.Goulet is always extremely fast and well packaged with attention to detail and a much appreciated lolly pop!
I bought this on a whim just because I wanted to try it out. If you're interested in more artistic uses for your fountain pen ink, this is a pretty good one.
