Beautiful pen, few things to acknowledge
The pen is absolutely AMAZING!!! Runs smooth, had no problem with ink, and very comfortable to write with.I've been looking at it for a while, after looking at the reviews and recommendations I decided to buy 3.8 mm, which is the best nib size for beginners.In this particular review, I would like to address all the points necessary to save your time looking at pages of reviews.1. The cartridge run out REALLY FAST.After 1 hour or so of practice, the cartridge is already half empty. The official cartridge for the parallel pen is around 5 dollars for a box (12 cartridges). However, you can convert the ink of your choice into the empty cartridges, and you would save a lot of money if you choose to do that. Ink like Sumi ink and Ecoline are all great choices.2. There is NO CONVERTERThe description is a complete lie, the converter-like tool in there is for cleaning the ink. If you want a converter, you need to purchase it separately.3. The ink will BLEED on most common paper.I've tried out almost every kind of paper I've got, and bleeding happens on every single one of them (as you can see in my picture). If you need a paper that will not bleed, try HP Premium Inkjet paper. It's not expensive at all, around 7 dollars for a pack of 250 on Amazon. If you would like other options, look up videos on YouTube, many of them experimented on papers with this pen.Above are the potential problems with the parallel pen, but I would definitely recommend this pen to my friends and anyone who would like to try out calligraphy. 10/10
