Pilot Hi-Tec C

For anyone who enjoys fine-tip gel pens, the Pilot Hi-Tec C is a cult favorite. It's known for having exactly the right amount of "scratchiness" for people who prefer some type of feedback while writing. Because the tip size may be as small as 0.25, the Hi-Tec C is ideal for folks who have very small and fine handwriting. Pilot Hi-Tec C ranks 2nd on the list of the Best Japanese Stationery Pens.

Since its introduction in 1994, the Hi-Tec C (known as the G-Tec in various parts of the world) has gained a following both in Japan and overseas. The needlepoint tip features a very small revolving ball that allows the ink to flow freely from the tip. Of course, this does not mean that your Hi-Tec will bleed. The ink is sharp and clear, resists bleeding, and is smudge-proof after a few seconds of drying. You may also get a sturdier body for your pen by upgrading to the Pilot Coleto multi-pen bodies, which can accommodate many Hi-Tec C refills in a variety of tip sizes and colors, as well as mechanical pencils and erasers if you want to make a more multipurpose pen.
