Pilot Hi-Tec-C Maica Gel Ink Pen - 0.4 mm - Black

This pen is the perfect pen for handwriting or sketching. The ink is so good and flows evenly. And drys quickly so there is no smudges if you were to put your hands on the ink. Plus it's cheap! Why buy and expensive pen when this one will do the job better.

Nice pen, gives a really clean and thin line. Makes you improve your handwriting as it looks so neat with it being so sharp.

When they said in the reddit forums that this pen was fine, it's no joke. It's a pretty fine tipped gel pen. But what I like with the pen is that it would take a lot of water in order for the ink to wash off the page. It's fairly water resistant for a gel pen. As in, if I were writing and water spilled across the pages, I could mop it up with the expectation that I still could see some words on the page. Some people might find the pen tip a bit too fine though, it scratches across the paper when writing, but the ink has good flow. It would be good for illustration work, cross hatching and such, and when you write with it, you don't have to wipe at the tip for the ink. I like it, to the point where, when finished, I'd buy it again, no joke.

It is an excellent product. Ideal for the job as it doesn't bleed through on very thin paper and it's lovely to write with.

I didn't receive an Hi-Tec-C, but a G-Tec C. Object not as advertised, beware.For those of you who care, the ink of the G-tec is not permanent. The Hi-Tec-C uses a different, permanent ink, and is perfectly therefore usable with alcohol markers. Try using markers or watercolours with a G-Tec, and you'll very likely end up with a mess.

Very nice writing with it, it also looks cool. Hopefully the ink lasts a long time, but if it runs out I will probably buy another.

Really good pen to write with, it arrived in excellent condition and was worth the money. 5/5 another great buy!

I usually use uniball eye needle micro, however on lesser quality paper it can bleed and draws a slightly thicker line. This pen is very thin and has good ink flow. If you don't like scratchy pens, perhaps a soft nib would be better.... [edit] changed from 5 to 4 star... pen arrived 28th September, it is now 6th November... after regular but intermittent use, the ink has nearly gone. I can actually watch the level drop over a page or two of notes.
