PARKER NIBS
Standard Nibs
These nibs have a rounded shape at the tip of the writing point which gives smooth, free
flowing writing as well as uniform writing line. They are suited to any style of writing,
both left-handed and right-handed.
Oblique Nibs
The nib is precision cut obliquely to compensate for extreme writing angles.
The nib is fitted with a rounded pellet which allows the pen to write smoothly in all directions.
Italic Nibs
Italic nibs are manufactured with a sharp , sraight cut tip and finished with a flat pellet.
This gives a thick line in one direction and a thin line at right angles to that direction as necessary for the italic style of writing.
Oblique Italic Nibs
The nib is suited to those who wish to adopt the general principles of italic writing but
without the slow methodical approach. It provides a more casual way of following the italic
style whilst producing an improved look to one's handwriting.
PARKER Nib Exchange
If the nib of your PARKER fountain pen is not entirely suited to your hand and, provided it is
undamaged, it may be exchanged free of charge, for any nib of the same value, through
any accredited PARKER dealer, whithin 28 days of purchase. A comprehensive choice of
nib grades is available.
