Pilot Hi-Tec-C Coleto 4 Color Multi Pen Body Component - Black

I do use this pen a lot as a student, but never to take notes.
There are two downsides to using this pen to take a lot of notes: 1) The cartridges are thin so I run out of ink faster than I'd prefer. This can be solved by using the pencil component but 2) The grip is not that ergonomic so it strains my hand to write with this pen for longer time periods needed to write study guides.

I do, however, use this pen A LOT as supplement to my study aides, particularly to replace highlighters. With the .4 mm color cartridges, I can underline and mark up readings as well as write between lines and margins.

Overall, though, I think this is an affordable and versatile product. Worth the buy.

Have to agree with the poster above me, these are amazingly wonderful pen bodies. I have owned many many pens from 25 cent bargain basement pens to $30 upper class ones. I'm not an artist but, I do go to school for Digital Effects and have taken a few drawing classes. These pen bodies, coupled with the .5mm ink are simply wonderful to use.

I love using this pen for my daily planner, it's the easiest and simplest way to carry 4 different colors for marking different things, such as homework, classes, assignments, and meetings, without having to carry a separate pen case for the colors I use in my planner.
The colors are easy to change in and out of the body, simply flip up the top and slide out the old ones, and in the new.

Great multi pen. The pencil is very good it makes my handwriting better i don't know if it's because the lead is soft but it is a great buy. I would recommend the .4 it's not scratchy maybe a little but you can't notice it. Buy it!

Looks great, works great. My only complaint is that the 5 color pen is a little too wide to hold comfortably for writing - my hand gets sore. I think I\'ll have to order a 3 or 4 color pen body. I wish they gave the width of each pen body (say, in milimeters) so that I could decide which one to get.
