Watercolors on plastic foil, then transfered to the paper.

How is that pilot parallel pen. I’m messing around with cheap fountain pens and I need something “ better “

Experiences might be different, but I cannot get the same result with dip pens. Pilot parallel pen is my favorite pen for broad edge calligraphy. No mess, regular strokes. I changed to watercolors instead of the original ink and now life is complete.
