Description The Pilot Parallel calligraphy fountain pen with a 3.8mm nib has a silver plastic tapered barrel and bright green cap, with a nib that consists of a unique parallel plate structure which achieves more beautiful and sharper handwriting than existing calligraphy pens. Ink cartridges can be switched in the pen to create gradually changing color lines and mixed colors. Each plastic boxed set contains one Pilot Parallel pen, one black and one red ink cartridge, a blue bulb syringe for flushing and a nib cleaner. For use with bottled ink, the Pilot CON-40 converter works best. Additional Pilot ink cartridges are also available.
