Tip size: 0.4 mm. Ink color: Brown. Needle-point tip for precision. Controlled ink delivery for consistent lines. Quick-dry ink to reduce smears. Slim barrel designed for comfortable handling.

Best suited for notes, planners, journals, sketch-notes, headers, icons, and borders where a lighter brown tone is preferred. It’s great for office, school, and home use when you want clear, readable writing without heavy contrast.

To replace the cartridge: twist the barrel to separate the sections, gently remove the spent cartridge, insert a new Pilot G-TEC-C cartridge, reassemble, and lightly scribble on scrap paper to prime the ink for smooth writing.

Store and use the pen with the cap on when not in use to prevent the nib from drying. Write with a smooth, steady pressure and a comfortable angle. If you notice a skip, gently scribble on scrap paper to rewet the tip and resume writing.

The G-TEC-C line emphasizes precise needle-point accuracy, controlled ink flow, and quick-dry performance for clean lines.
