Pilot Hi-Tec-C Refill

Have you ever wondered about getting a Pilot Hi-Tec-C refill for your pen, but felt unsure about whether this is the right refill, or if you need something different? There are so many pen refills in existence, that it can be challenging to know!

Pilot Hi-Tec-C refills are popular because they fit a number of different pens, and they have high-quality ink that writes smoothly and beautifully, even when the refill is getting low. These refills come in several tip sizes and multiple colors, making them ideal for a wide range of situations.

What Is A Pilot Hi-Tec-C Refill?

A Pilot Hi-Tec-C refill is a refill created by Pilot, which fits multiple different pens. It enjoys enormous popularity due to its immensely smooth flow and vibrant ink. The Hi-Tec-C is available in Japan, while the G-Tec-C is the equivalent in the rest of the world. They are the same pen. These pens have a variety of advantages, including:

• They have an excellent tip design for smooth writing
• They are available in multiple colors
• They are available in multiple tip sizes
• They are lightweight

If you’ve ever used a Pilot Hi-Tec-C refill, you may be aware that these pens are somewhat fragile, but they write beautifully and they are very fine, even if you choose one of the thicker nibs. They do tend to break if they are dropped, however, meaning that they aren’t ideal for students or for people who are regularly on the go.

These pens use a slide lever and have a metal point. The ink is gel and the tip has a revolving carbide ball, supported by 3 indentations. This minimizes friction and makes the writing experience smooth and pleasant.

Additionally, the ink doesn’t feather or bleed, because it uses a resin that makes it more viscous. This means that the text produced is beautifully smooth, even if you are writing on fairly low-quality paper.

Which Pens Do These Refills Fit?

The refills fit a variety of pens, including:

• Pilot G2 Limited Gel Pens
• Pilot G2 Original Gel Pens
• Ensso Pen UNO
• Pilot Birdy Stainless Steel Body Mini Ballpoint Pen
• Lamy Tipo Rollerball Pens
• Karas Kustoms Bolt V2 Pens
• CW&T Pen Type-A
• Pilot Dr. Grip Limited Gel Pens

As you can see, there is a wide range of options if you have these refills, so even if you don’t like the Hi-Tec-C pen but you love the refill, you’re likely to be able to find a barrel that feels good in your hand. No matter which of these pens works best for you, you can add the refill to it and it should fit perfectly.

What Colors Are The Refills?

The refills are most commonly seen in black, but different colors are available. The availability of colors depends on the product line, however, so you’ll need to choose your pen with care.

For example, the Hi-Tec-C with Grip line is only available in blue, red, and black. There are more colors available in the other ranges, although some are quite rare. The full range of colors includes:

• Apricot orange

What Tip Sizes Can You Get?

There are also a few different tip sizes available for these pens, although it again depends on the line of pens that you have purchased. There are four sizes that you may be able to choose from, depending on the line: 0.25 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.4 mm, or 0.5 mm.

These are all very fine, and indeed, some people find that the tips are finer than they like. There are no thick tip sizes available for Pilot Hi-Tec-C refills, so if you want a fatter nib, you will have to find a different pen.
