Gel pen PILOT Pilot G-1 Red — tip 0.5 mm, stroke ~0.25 mm, red ink

Pilot G-1 Red is a gel ink pen with a 0.5 mm metal needle tip that produces an approximate 0.25 mm stroke. It delivers consistent red ink for everyday handwriting, signing and annotating documents. The pen is designed to provide smooth, even lines with quick drying gel ink suitable for office, school and personal use where clear red markings are required.

Advantages

The 0.5 mm tip offers fine control for detailed writing while the gel formulation ensures steady ink flow and uniform colour. The pen’s refillable design reduces waste and allows continued use with compatible fine-tip refills. Its quick-drying properties minimise smudging and maintain legible text on a variety of paper types. The slim tip and consistent stroke support neat handwriting and precise annotations.

How to use

Hold the pen at a natural writing angle and apply light, even pressure to maintain the fine 0.5 mm line width. For the best results, write on smooth, standard-weight paper and allow a moment for the gel ink to dry before touching the writing. To refill, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for replacing the fine-tip refill compatible with this series; ensure the refill is inserted securely to restore consistent ink flow.

Usage recommendations

Store the pen capped and horizontally when not in use to prevent drying or leakage. Use appropriate fine-tip refills to preserve tip performance and reduce environmental impact through refilling rather than disposing of the whole pen.
