The Pilot Parallel Pen are the most innovative tool for Calligraphy in the last 50 years. They produce an excellent clean mark and are easy to clean and refill. The biggest benefit, especially for the beginning calligraphy student, is there is no need to refill the ink every few strokes. Plus there is little if no mess or dirty fingers. These pens are so convenient, they can be take to coffee shops for casual calligraphy, which would be near impossible with nib and ink container. The only drawback for the professional calligrapher, is these pens cannot produce the extremely thin side strokes which metal nib dipped pens can produce. As far a what they are the best at, they are excellent! It's changed my entire approach to calligraphy and I use them for 40-50% of all my work.

I purchased this Pilot Parallel 3.8mm (green cup) pen exactly two years ago, but it was to wide for pretty much any use, so I put it in a box and haven't seen it since. I recently found it again, and to my surprise the pen hasn't dried out! That despite leaving an opened cartridge in it, I was able to just continue writing smoothly. I experienced some more and decided that I like this pen so much, that today I ordered it in 1.5mm (red cup), so I can actually use it for writing. I think that the green cup one would be perfect for writing diplomas on A4 paper. It takes a LOT of ink, I went through both of cartridges in just of few pages of paper.I enjoy the gradiation effect. A tip: you actually don't need two pens to do this, you can dip the tip of one in a fountain pen ink`s bottle, it will have the same outcome. Besides that, the pen is easy to write with and leaves a solid, bold lines; black (and red) ink that comes with it is totally black (much more than the ones I have for my fountain pen) and look very professional on paper.

This thing really puts down ink. It’s fun to write with, for a specialty pen.

I totally love the entire group of Pilot Parallel Pens for my calligraphy hobby and the only thing that I would change is that when you take the cap off, you should be able to park it on the back end of the pen and it was not designed that way. It's very easy to install the ink cartridges and the ink flows smoothly to the pen nibs which come in four practical widths. I'm really happy with the precise edges on the nibs as well I like that they are color-coded, so when I am working on a project I don't have to take very long to pick up the pen that I need next. I love the fact that Pilot offers a wide range of ink colors for their cartridges as well, and will probably be ordering a few more sets so that I can have various colors set up in different nib sizes when I'm working on a project. The pens also fit comfortably in my hand and I'm really glad that I bought these. I highly recommend these wonderful pens! I took professional calligraphy classes many years ago and I've just recently decided to take up my interest again. I wanted to find a set of pens that work properly without costing a fortune as I work to get my skills back. So, whether you're new or have been doing calligraphy for a while, this would be a great pen to work with.

Excellent pen for calligraphy enthusiasts. The parallel plate nib makes for supreme line variation and extremely even ink flow. This is a joy to write with. Can only take proprietary cartridges for ink, but the included converter is excellent for cleaning out the pen. The nib cleaner is cool too and helps paper fibers, etc. to stay out of the nib. A joy to write with, and even if you're a dip pen purist, this is still a fun tool to have. The color blending possible with multiple pens is a lot of fun and opens up cool creative opportunities.

This is probably my favorite style of fountain pen ever. The broad metal nib provides clean, even strokes, an the corner edge gives the finest hairlines imaginable. I'm not a huge fan of the pilot brand ink, but it's super easy to refill the cartridges with any ink you want. I used an eye dropper, and have had no issues.All in all, an amazing pen, for someone new to fountain pens or an old hand at it.

I think it is the best tool for calligraphy. Writing is very smooth and sharp. And the best part is its ability to write with the edge. Color mixing is very unique. But doing it repeatedly can ruin the nib.A little pricey, but once you try it, you know it's worth it...!

Fantastic pen, love it. The only issue is that I paid twice its actual cost of around 10 dollars because it is imported.
