    1. Pilot Parallel 2-Color Calligraphy Pen

    Pilot Parallel Pen 2-Color Calligraphy Pen Set, with Black and Red Ink Cartridges, 2.4mm Nib (90051)

    Read Reviews & Check the Deal →

     

    For your first basic calligraphy pen, this pen is perfect. Like most modern calligraphy pens, the ink cartridge is inserted inside the pen. It utilizes its namesake “Parallel Plate” Nib Technology which consists of 2 nib plates working together. This results in crisper sharper writing and is a breeze to practice with.

    You have a number of awesome writing options with this pen. If you want to write a fine line, simply use the corner of the nib plates.

    Even more, you can write with two ink colors flowing from the nib at once for an exquisite graduated effect. The ink flows easily, creating a thick velvety line which makes it a delight for novices and experts alike.

    Along with this very lightweight pen, you also get one black cartridge, one red cartridge, a cleaning pipette, nib cleaner for the tip of your pen, and a small instruction manual.

    The ink is refillable and you can buy additional colors separately.

    Features
    • Ink cartridges are easy to insert
    • The instruction book is very helpful with great font examples
    • Ability to blend colors together makes this pen superior to more traditional pens
    • You can write calligraphy style or fine line style by just a turn of the nib point
    • Smooth, marker-like writing

    What Customers Are Saying

    When just starting out with calligraphy writing, this basic calligraphy pen is the ideal choice. Its easy smooth writing and weightless grip make practice sessions a whiz. The writing options do not disappoint, especially when producing a beautiful multi-colored line.

    There are some things to consider with this pen. The ink provided with the pen tends to feather so you may want to purchase additional refills or use a different ink brand. Because the ink flows so easily through the nib, you will run out of ink quickly.

    Even though there are some minor ink issues with this pen, a beginner will be pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to learn calligraphy with this basic calligraphy pen. Whether you have been writing calligraphy for five days or five years, you can’t go wrong with this particular pen.

    2. Sheaffer Viewpoint Calligraphy Pen

    Sheaffer Viewpoint Calligraphy Pen, Red, Carded with (2) ink cartridges: Fine (73400)

    Read Reviews & Check the Deal →

     

    This calligraphy pen sports a classic look with a sleek red barrel and stainless steel nib with a very fine writing point of just 0.8 mm. This is a great pen if you are looking to write in a fine font style and for an affordable price, it looks pretty nice in your hand.

    An added feature to this pen is the ink window located in the barrel to easily monitor ink levels. It includes two Sheaffer Skrip Classic ink cartridges.

    Features
    • Pen is very elegant looking for the affordable price.
    • Even old-school calligraphers love this pen since it resembles the old Skrip fountain pens of the past.
    • Being able to view ink levels in the pen is very convenient.
    • Great for newbies and seasoned writers.

    What Customers Are Saying

    The Sheaffer Viewpoint Calligraphy Pen is a favorite among more experienced calligraphers due to its refined look. Because it is a very forgiving pen, beginners have also found it easy to use.

    The ink window built into the barrel can cause some discomfort while holding the pen during writing. There have also been some issues with ink leakage if the pen is not stored upright.
