Pen PILOT Pilot G-TEC C4 Black — 0.2 mm needle tip, black ink, transparent barrel

PILOT Pilot G-TEC C4 Black is a fine-tip gel pen featuring an ultra-fine 0.2 mm needle tip and smooth black ink. The transparent barrel provides a clear view of the remaining ink while the slim, lightweight design supports controlled, precise strokes for detailed note-taking, technical drawings and neat handwriting. The pigment-based gel ink offers good line consistency and is suitable for documents requiring clear, archival-quality lines.

Advantages

The 0.2 mm needle tip delivers exceptionally fine, consistent lines with minimal skipping, enabling high-precision work. The transparent barrel allows quick visual checks of ink level to avoid unexpected interruptions. Black pigment gel ink dries reliably and produces crisp, fade-resistant lines suitable for writing, sketching and detailed technical annotations. The pen's balanced, slim body supports accurate control during extended use.

Suitable for

• Technical drawing and drafting
• Detailed note-taking and annotation
• Handwriting small or precise text
• Outlining, fine sketching and illustration details
• Archival-quality documents and form filling

Key specifications

• Tip size: 0.2 mm needle tip for ultra-fine lines
• Ink type: black pigment-based gel ink
• Barrel: transparent, slim profile for ink level visibility
• Line characteristic: consistent, sharp lines with low bleed
• Grip and body: lightweight, balanced for precision control

How to use

Hold the pen at a comfortable angle and apply light, steady pressure to achieve the finest lines; heavier pressure may slightly widen the line. For technical drawings or small handwriting, move the pen smoothly without lifting frequently to maintain consistent ink flow. Store the pen capped when not in use and keep it horizontally or tip-up to minimize drying or leakage. If the tip becomes clogged, gently scribble on scrap paper until flow resumes.

Usage recommendations

Use on smooth, non-absorbent paper for best line clarity and minimal feathering. Allow a moment for drying on coated papers to prevent smudging. Replace the pen when lines become faint to maintain precision; avoid using on very textured or wet surfaces to prevent inconsistent flow.
