## Description

Pilot Hi-Tec-C 03 Gel Ink Pen, Micro Fine Point 0.3mm, Black Ink, LH-20C3, Value Set of 5

Review: Good pen - They are really smooth and perfect thickness for notes or drawing. I don’t have any problems with ink flow or the grip. Very good quality.
Review: Love at the first line - Simply put, these are still the best-in-class for job pens. Pentel recently ruined their Hybrid Technicas with a design flaw through the intention of no longer allowing their job pens to be refillable. Ironically, that redesign ruined the pen in multiple ways of actual performance (skipping, difficult flow) while retaining their premium price on it. However, Pilot retains their classic design and execution for the Tec-C series: The outcome is superb as always. The ink starts flowing as soon as the tip reaches paper with every stroke and maintains a consistent flow throughout. No skipping. You can make the line as fine as you wish with a curve or put down the full 0.4 thickness. Gravity is low, the grip is slender and comfortable, and, best of all, the gel container is replaceable with refills (if you're able to find them, the Coleto refills won't work here because they're designed for a multipen with a different shape). Pick this. You won't be disappointed.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does this compare to the pilot hi-tec-c maica .4mm?**
A: The ink cartridge is identical.  The Maica is slightly but noticeably larger overall - length and diameter.  The Hi-Tec-C has a clip on the cap, unlike the Maica.

**Q: Is this pen retractable?**
A: No, it is not retractable.  Still, the Pilot Hi-Tec-C is one of my favorite pens.  If you prefer retractable pens, you might want to check out Pilot's Juice Up -- it's great, too.  Love them both, use them daily.

**Q: These always smudge and smear when i erase the pencil lines in my drawing, even if i wait an hour for the pen to dry. what am i doing wrong?**
A: I have the same problem...and stopped using them.  They did not work out for my purposes. They did smudge as you described.

**Q: Does anyone know if the ink is waterproof?**
A: I had the same problem...with the ink smudges, etc. I stopped using them. They did not work for my purposes.
