Everyone's Favorite Tool!

The Pilot Parallel Pen is a remarkable and durable tool that gives crispedges, sharp hairlines and a totally reliable, smooth flow of ink forbeginners and seasoned lettering artists. In a typical dip or cartridge pen,ink travels through one or more slits in the nib and feeds across thewriting edge. Skipping (non-delivery of the ink) can occur, particularly inlarger pens. In the parallel pen ink flows between two layers of metal lyingon top of each other, delivering ink to the entire writing edge without fail.Turn the pen on its corner and the pen writes a .5mm monoline -great foryour handwriting, flourishing (till your arm gets tired!), making highcontrast thin strokes and pen manipulation. You can also blend colors bytouching the writing edge of one pen to a second pen loaded with acomplementary color.
