## Description

Pilot FP3-38 3.8mm Parallel Pen (Pack of 1), green : desertcart.co.uk: Stationery & Office Supplies

Review: A great and unusual pen - I already own the 6mm nib version of this pen and wanted to try this one, which seemed to be a good all rounder size. For those not familiar these are pens with a nib consisting of two parallel steel plates (hence the name). This enables both thick and thin lines to be produced depending on how you hold the pen and the angle it touches the page at. I bought the optional multi coloured ink cartridges (it takes Pilot's propriety ones) and so my pictures are of me using the lovely violet ink. The pen comes with one red and one black ink cartridge, a reservoir thing for cleaning the feed and nib and a little thin piece of plastic to get between the two pieces of the nib. It also comes with a handy and informative paper guide to the different pen strokes you can achieve and some calligraphy tips. I find this very useful but the text and illustrations are too small really. I bought this for drawing with and there seem to be a small but dedicated group of people like me who use them for art. However, I now also enjoy practicing calligraphy with it. If you want to use ink other than Pilot's you could refill their cartridges from bottled ink with a blunt syringe (I've done that with my 6mm pen), or else Pilot do a ink converter (Con 40), which should be easier. Okay it's made of plastic but feels well made enough to me. I can recommend this as something a bit different and great fun to use. I have also bought the 2.4mm one and wouldn't rule out getting the other sizes too!
Review: Perfect Beginners Pen - Have used this as my first calligraphy pen and it has been perfect. Easy to add refill cartridges and easy to use. I have not had any issues with ink spill and it is easy to create fine and thick lines. I will be looking to add other size pens to my collection and will be buying this brand again

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does anyone know if there is an ink converter for this pen?**
A: Yes, there is a converter called Pilot CON-40.

**Q: Can this be used as a dip pen (like to dip it in the ink?)**
A: No I wouldn't recommend using it this way. The pen uses a flow of ink and a failure of supply 'mid-flourish' would spoil the effect.

**Q: Hi. Has anyone used this pen, the 3.8 nib with a converter? If so which one? Thanks.**
A: Even if you find a converter you will need to be careful which ink you use. I use the Pilot Parallels daily and use either the proprietary cartridges, or treat them as dip pens. Both work fine. Replacing the ink in the cartridge with a needle is easy, but most inks don't flow well through the mechanism.

**Q: Is the ink black or green? Not clear on the description.**
A: The ink is the colour of the cartridge you place in your pen. The green colour of your pen does not determine the colour of your ink. 
This pen actually comes with two coloured inks and you can purchase more colours or black only cartridge packs compatible with the pen separately.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great pen, easy to use
*by G***V on 10 January 2022*

This pen is unique and takes time to master but gives a perfect finish. Worthwhile trying on different papers to minimise feathering because it puts a lot of ink onto the surface. Excellent though when you get used to it.
