    I just wanted to tell you thank you again for this video. I’ve watched it several times over the last couple years and I really love the pilot parallel calligraphy pens. They are inexpensive and a real joy to use. I always find it funny that I love pens, ink, paper, and calligraphy yet I have the worst handwriting. I’m not really sure why I’m drawn to it but I am. Thank you again Steven.

    I was a bit late joining the Pilot Parallel party, but I'm so glad I did! After watching your excellent and thorough review I bought one, didn't go for the monster 6mm thought I would start off small with the 1.5. Love this pen, I know it's cheap, .but my calligraphy has never looked better. Thanks for the review, I'm a bit hooked on your vids and now have an ever growing list of fountain pens that need to be in my possession!!!

    What's not to like ? Relatively inexpensive, funky design - brilliant mechanism (capillary); good range of widths with colour-coded caps & designation; complete strip down & rebuild - it's genius. I love mine for their versatility, lightweight handling, & eyedropper-friendly, too... soooopah !!
    Excellent re-review, Stephen :D

      +Tim Clayton I'm a lefty parallel user also! If you haven't, get yourself a blank Rhodia notebook. You will have so much fun. Also, if you are using the included "booklet" for calligraphic fonts, try and do all of the strokes backwards, so that you can pull instead of push and make it a lot less choppy. This is just what I have learned from my writing with them.

    The cartridges that come with the parallel pens is the Pilot Mixable ink. If you buy the set of 3 pens you get all 12 colour cartridges.
    The 'gradation' effect is acheived by holding one nib 90 degrees against the other to transfer some of the other colour; it's an old calligraphy trick that works well with the parallel pens (not invented for or specific to them).

      The rubber converter is actually quite interesting, with a great amount of ink capacity. The rubber itself is not that durable; I`ve heard that some inks can melt the rubber bladder. They make good toys, but not reliable everyday converters.

  • @billinrio
    @billinrio 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice demonstration of what the pen can do. My question is about the ink to be used. The precautions in the instructions note the following: ""IMPORTANT Use only PILOT MIXABLE COLOR IC-P3 (exclusive cartridge for PILOT Parallel Pen". This is particularly confusing, given that the pen comes with the converter that you show. It seems to me that any Pilot cartridge would work, as well as any ink. BTW, the clipless cap with the protrusion is designed, I think, to prevent the pen from rolling on a level surface.

  • @picolascage7762
    @picolascage7762 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    What you said about having to dip and re dip every time cannot be any more true. Speaking as a former dip pen calligrapher who was really challenged by that notion when I was learning. I gave in and practiced with some random highlighter I filled with dark violent stamp ink for a while after that. I don't know why not using the 'proper materials' could be so frowned upon. At the end of the day the best part is to have fun writing and making art imo no?
    (Though I can understand it a bit, metal nibs are a bit more durable than felt and, for the most part, more affordable than a fountain pen. And can last you ages when you maintain your nibs well.)
    But although I learned through alternate ways, when I came back to dip pens with more knowledge and practice through felt, I think I was able to enjoy them better and have lots more fun. They're quite mystical to write with, and the sounds they make with each stroke are quite intoxicating. I hope it is the same for you with this parallel and your lovely italics. Beautiful Calligraphy Sir Brown!

    Hello Mr. Brown! I loved your video on the pilot parallel pen (I just purchased the set) and will be converting them to eyedropper pens soon.
    I do have a question for you but it is unrelated to the actual pens but rather that plastic sheet. Do you perhaps have slightly sweaty hands (enough where it begins to make waves on paper) like I do? Or do you just use it due to preference? Also, this might sound odd, but where would I get one? I don't really know where I would get sheets of plastic like that...I'd assume a craft store of some kind?

    • @sbrebrown

    Eric and I decided at the Ohio Pen Show that Pilot Parallels are toys and don't count as fountain pens when counting how many pens you have in your collection. Otherwise Eric is way over his self-imposed limit of 12 pens. (Wisely, I have not imposed a limit on my collection addition at this time.)

      Limits are bad things in this case :-). It's a tough call to classify the Parallel: they have ink reservoirs and feeds, but the nib is not traditional, although they do use capillary action to write... ;-).

    Those are great pens... but in Europe it is no easy to get those Pilot and it is the same for the Namiki pens, for example (resin Falcon)
    Anyway great and very fun pens...
