The ink is very thin so there is the danger of dragging your hand through it. I'm not sure if it's possible to lift your hand enough to not touch the paper. You will probably want to use them on a paper that is fairly absorbent like watercolor paper and avoid vellum or tracing paper.

Don't know if you have the answer but... can left handed people use the parallel pens? Just one question. Don’t know if you have the answer but… can left handed people use the parallel pens?

It really is a cracking bit of kit and I would recommend it to anyone who is involved in graphics. You just cannot (or at least I can't) do with a mouse what you can with this piece of kit.

I highly recommend Brenda Broadbent's book Parallel Pen Wizardry. (www.paperinkarts.com) As I learned from her, you can load the barrel of the PPP directly with most any fluid (no cartridge needed). It makes these pens that much better and easier to use. Nice letters! I highly recommend Brenda Broadbent’s book Parallel Pen Wizardry.
