There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Most reviews you see at places such as penaddict.com will be for the Hi-Tec-C, which confuses some people, who assume they are different pens. What is interesting is the Hi-Tec-C has developed a near cult level following, and various times I've gone out to meetings with clients and had people ask me 'Is that a Hi-Tec-C' which is frankly a pretty odd question to get for a pen with such a cheap plastic barrel and look. So why is the pen popular?
1. It makes beautiful clear and fine lines
2. Despite the very small nib, the scratchiness you find with such ultrafines goes away very quickly as you start writing.
3. The ink flows and sets nicely for a gel pen.
I love to write and take notes and sometimes mindmap with sketches and non linear jottings. This pen is beautiful for such. The .4mm size (which this one is), is a good size for those getting used to it. I sometimes prefer .3, but .25 pushes the limits and does tend to be a bit scratchy. The black is also a nice black. Another perk about this particular 3-pack is it is a very inexpensive way to give the Hi-Tec-C/G-Tec-C a try. Even when you buy a box you're often paying $2 or more a pen/refill, but this three pack costs a good bit less. So a cult level legendary pen at pretty much the best price out there.
The refill does tend to empty a bit faster than a regular ballpoint pen, and some of the other gel pens, but not in a significant manner, especially not for the quality. The main negative to the pen is the plastic barrel. It is a plain cheap barrel. It isn't particularly durable, doesn't have the best ergonomics, and isn't hugely aesthetically pleasing. However, my first criteria for a pen is how it writes, second is how it feels to the hand, and only then do I get to things like how it looks.
If you are interested in looks (and hand feel) there are some great Kickstarter projects for the pen. I tend to favor the X-Pen and the Render-K but the Pen Type A is interesting too if you mostly will leave the pen on your desk rather than carry it with you.
When you consider people spend $50-$500 on pens that don't deliver anywhere near as great a line of ink as this $1.60-ish pen, you just can't go wrong. If you like writing at all, you simply can't go wrong dropping $5 to give these pens a try.
One thing you should consider is that pens like this show to best effect when using better quality paper. You can certainly use them with any basic pad of paper, but lower quality paper can show a bit of feathering and have other properties that will compromise the virtues of any high quality pen. Also the biggest difference between the Hi-Tec-C and G-Tec-C, is that in Japan the Hi-Tec-C comes in something like 40-50 colors. The G-Tec-C comes in the much more standard black/blue/red/green (and purple in the 5 color pack). I suspect however, 90% of the people will be primarily interested in the basic black at least to test.
So with all that in mind, really can't review this any more highly. It is a superb pen, it is at a great price, and if you like writing you owe it to yourself to take advantage of that combo.
That's NOT the case with the Pilot G-Tec-C and Hi-Tec-C pens. They write nice, fine lines. They move very smoothly across the page. They don't tend to bleed (at least on the paper I've used) and deliver nice even lines.
Compared to some pens on the market, they're fairly cheap. Some would say that they even LOOK cheap. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I guess. I like the fact that they look a little bit high-tech, but also don't look like they're very expensive. (Hopefully that means people are less likely to walk off with them than they might with a really expensive looking pen.)
Regardless, I think these are my favorite pens and I'll have a hard time using any others I own while these are still around...
I like them because they write with the finest line of ink that I have ever used, which is just perfect for fine diagramming or commenting. The fineness of the line really makes what you have written stand out in contrast to anything else written on the page with a ball-point or any other type of pen, even other gel pens. I have a lot of different pens in my drawer, but these are unique. And they feel really nice while writing.
A few usage notes:
* They can smudge a bit at times.
* Ink is not waterproof, and can smear (this is clearly stated). I *think* there is another version of this same pen with waterproof ink but I am not clear on that point.
* Because the point is very, very fine, you can't press very hard. Not a problem; just something to be aware of.
* And you have to be careful to *fully* re-cap the pen after every use. In fact, there is a label on the cap of each pen reminding you of this. If you are not careful, you might wind up pushing the cap on but not snapping it on fully - as I did once, to my regret.
These pens are very, very fine. In both senses of the word.
It may be worth pointing out that I'm very gentle with these pens (how hard I press on the paper) and that may help the ink issue considering the size and fragility of the tip.
Top reviews from other countries
The ink flows wonderfully and, not being ball point, the pen works even if I'm writing on a piece of paper taped to a wall instead of the ink flow stopping like it would with many other pens.
Speaking of the ink! It dries fast, it doesn't bleed or feather, the colors are bright and vivid. This pack is all black but I also have some of these pens in various colors like orange and pink and the colors are bright.
A little on 5he pricey end but well worth it. These are the best pens, considering price and quality, that I've found for sale in Canada. Better than this and you're either buying high end fountain pens or getting them from a friend who bought them directly in East Asia. (The Chinese have some truly incredible pens but good luck finding them outside of China.)
that being said, comfort isn't the reason why i bought these pens, i bought them because i wanted thin, precise handwriting and it definitely does give me the result i want.
just like many other pens, the ink doesn't dry immediately, so be careful not to smear your hand over your paper soon after you write (if you are a leftie whose hand glides over the paper as you write, you may experience smudging).
the ink does not bleed. i used the regular hilroy lined paper and the pens have practically no visibility on the flip side.
Overall, these pens met my expectations and I would probably consider buying them again when I run out!
Additionally, you don't need to press down on the paper very much to get the inkflow. Its literally like gliding on the paper.
Best pens, I've ever bought. This will now be my go-2.
