Pilot Parallel Pen 2-Color Calligraphy Pen Set, with Black and Red Ink Cartridges, 1.5mm Nib (90050)

Love these pens. I have been using them for years. Have all sizes. Smooth write, great cartridge colours available. I use them a lot, so my first one broke after 11years! They are great quality, nibs strong. I have 8 of them! Enjoy them!

A brilliant pen. I am a beginner calligrapher. It's easy to use and a good one to start with. Low cost - high quality. I expect I will get a few of these to use with different colours and nib widths. I've put them on my wish list!

I will admit that I never knew these Pilot Parallel Pens existed until I stumbled upon the full range of them. What a clever design for the purpose of calligraphic writing. I have one with a 2.4 mm nib for more expressive shaping of letters, but the 1.5 mm tipped version is excellent for the basics of writing in the size that my hand naturally defaults to. Although being a nice strong hue I have no use for the red ink cartridge but it seemed to be part of the deal in order to obtain a 1.5 mm nibbed pen along with a more useful black ink cartridge.Eamonn

Always best pilot... Best for calligraphy in small fonts

Zum Schreiben und Zeichnen ist der Pilot PEN sehr gut geeignet, man sollte allerdings etwas langsamer als normal arbeiten, um ein gleichmäßiges Ergebnis zu erzielen

Really impressed with the pen. Buying another one!

Such a pleasant writing experience. Absolutely my favorite nib. This is my primary in my Opus 88. I've put at least 15 mL of ink through it, and I just can't get away from the versatility and beautiful script it produces. It's kind of what I imagine having a brush pen is like without having a brush AND having the ability to make quite thin and very straight lines! Despite the fact that I use the Opus 88 and not the handle that it comes with, the original handle feels quite nice in the hand. A bit thin, but still sufficiently pleasant.I found the 2.4mm a bit too thick for standard writing, but 1.5mm is awesome! I write on a 6mm grid with no issue, but some might find <7mm a bit constrictive. Note: the attached pictures of writing are *after* I rounded the corner of the nib.Main critiques:I'd like the thin side to be a little bit thinner.The flow rate is a bit high. I keep the valve on my Opus 88 closed, but the first line or two after I refill the writing chamber, it can write a bit heavy — causing feathering.Despite making thin lines, the high flow rate makes cross hatching challenging since the ends of lines blot a bit.If you're not careful with your writing, a corner can catch, spattering ink as the two halves of the nib rapidly spread and slap together. This isn't damage to the pen, rather splattering all over your work. It can happen quite easily on back strokes.Modded:If you want to avoid the aforementioned splattering/chattering, you can file/round down one of the corners. Be careful not to remove too much material... sand, test, sand, test. I took off too much, so the line variation and max thickness were reduced a bit too much, but I'm still very satisfied with the result.The mod reduced the flow, made the average line a bit thinner, and reduced the corner catching which has taken this from a 10 to an 11. Though, honestly, I've ordered another OEM so that I can go back and forth. Both versions are so much fun!
