Frequently Asked Questions
What is the widest Pilot Parallel Pen?
The 6.0mm blue-cap model provides the largest nib width in the Pilot Parallel series. It generates the thickest strokes for large-scale broad-edge calligraphy.
Can you use regular fountain pen ink in Pilot Parallel?
This pen works with Pilot mixable ink cartridges or a compatible converter. Standard fountain pen inks flow correctly, but pigmented drawing inks will clog the plates.
