Pilot Hi-Tec-C Gel Ink Pen - 0.4 mm - Cutie Colors - Mango Orange

True to its name, this ink is like the flesh of a ripe mango. It's an orangey-yellow color that's about the color of the pen cap. It's not quite yellow ... not quite orange ... but it's a beautiful color in its own right. The ink is highly visible -- definitely not neon -- since there's enough orange in the color to make it stand out. With a 0.4 mm width and an exceptional color, this is a definite recommendation for anyone wanting to venture out from the normal color schemes.

Color: Mango/orangey-yellow/fresh orange juice
Readability: Visible at-a-glance, won't strain your eyes to read it
Smoothness: At 0.4 mm, this pen writes very smoothly

(goes well with the Apple Green Hi-Tec-C)

These are actually the best pens I have ever used. No doubt. A few months ago, I bought a 12 set of the Pilot Frixxion pens, and I thought those were amazing, because they erased, but after time, if you don't use the actual box they give you, dirt and other sediment sticks to the rubber, leaving a messy eraser mark when you erase. Then, I saw that one of my friends had a hi-tec-c pen. but it was .3 and I wrote with it, and wasn't too pleased. I felt that the tip was too thin. At first I hesitated when I clicked add to cart for this set, but I trusted the brand, the reviews, and JetPens. Two days later, during the snow storm in my area, the pens come. I immediately try them, and I fell in love. I strongly recommend these pens. Although they do not erase, they write like a pencil, except instead lead coming out, you have great solid colors

This is the best pen I have ever used! They have a nice thin tip that I love because I write small, and they don't break off when I press down on them! I bought all colors to use when I'm taking notes, and three years later I still love them(although now I need to buy new ones). They also write super smooth!!

If you are looking for the equivalent(and probably even better version) of the High tech C try the Uni-Ball Signo DX 0.28mm or the zebra sarasa 0.3 mm. Both are absolutely fantastic pens in all respects, and are even better because they're cheaper than the high tech c. Both also come with a grip and do not have a fragile needle point like the high tech c.

I've tried to use the Hi-Tec-C gel pens. They start out really nice, smooth, and inky. As I continue to write with them, however, the lines become more faint and eventually I cannot use them at all - I am left with a nearly filled ink cartridge. ): I've tried my best to revive my pens, and I have not yet been successful. Maybe it is because I write with more pressure? Or it is because my pens come from Taiwan? o_O I don't know. But, my Sliccis never do this to me - so now I use Sliccis exclusively. So 5 in the beginning (because it writes so well and smooth), a 1 in the end (because it is useless and makes me feel sadpanda).
