With a resin body weighing 12g, the Pilot Parallel Pen (3.8mm) handles extended writing sessions. Two parallel metal plates create sharp calligraphy lines. This 3.8mm nib produces broad strokes and thin edges for Gothic or Italic s.
Key Features
- Parallel Plate Nib: Two flat metal plates aligned in parallel create sharp edges. Crisp line definition stays consistent.
- Color Mixing Capability: Capillary action transfers ink between two touching nib tips. Gradated color effects appear during use.
- Refillable Ink System: Pilot IC-P3 proprietary cartridges replace the empty ink supply. Swapping colors happens without flushing.
- Screw-on Cap: Threaded resin cap seals the nib unit from air. Ink won't dry in high humidity.
Frequently Asked Questions
How to refill Pilot Parallel Pen?
Unscrew the resin barrel and insert a new Pilot IC-P3 cartridge into the nib unit. Firm pressure seats the cartridge to maintain consistent ink flow.
Can you mix colors in Pilot Parallel Pen?
Touching two nib tips together transfers ink from one pen to the other. This process creates a gradient effect that changes color as you write.
