Gel pen PILOT G-1 Black — tip 0.5 mm, stroke width 0.25 mm

PILOT G-1 Black is a gel ink pen with a 0.5 mm metal tip that produces an approximate stroke width of 0.25 mm. The pen is engineered for smooth, consistent ink flow and clear black lines, making it suitable for everyday note-taking, signing documents and detailed handwriting tasks. Its design focuses on delivering neat, fine lines with minimal pressure and reduced skipping.

Advantages

The gel formulation provides even coverage and quick-drying results for many paper types, while the 0.5 mm tip enables precise, controlled writing. The pen offers reliability for frequent use, combining low writing resistance with clear black colour. A refillable construction reduces waste and can lower long-term consumable costs compared to disposable pens.

Suitable for

• Everyday note-taking in office and school environments
• Signing contracts, forms and other documents
• Detailed handwriting, annotations and margin notes
• Technical sketches or layouts that require fine, consistent lines

Key specifications

• Ink type: gel ink, black
• Tip size: 0.5 mm (metal tip)
• Approximate stroke width: 0.25 mm

How to use

Hold the pen at a comfortable angle and apply light, consistent pressure for an even ink deposit. For the best results, write on standard writing paper and allow a moment for the gel ink to dry before touching the written area. If the pen is refillable, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to replace the refill when ink supply diminishes.

Usage recommendations

Store the pen capped when not in use to prevent the tip from drying. Use the pen on clean, non-coated paper to maintain optimal line quality and drying time. Replace the refill with the manufacturer-compatible fine-tip refill to preserve writing performance.
