Hi-Tec-C is a classic gel pen that goes way back to 1994. Before that in the 80s, Pilot came out with Hi-Tecpoint rollerball series with a special mechanism that locks a tiny metal rollerball securely at the top of it’s needle point pen tip. Hi-Tec-C is inspired by G series gel pen (which was probably to rival Signo), combining with the tip of Hi-Tecpoint.
Hi-Tec-C is Pilot's most iconic pen. It's simple and functional. The clear body looks simple in design, but also serves as an indicator for ink level. It's tip is designed to provide minimal drag and effortless ink flow. The ink is designed to provide enough water resistance from spills or water. Hi-Tec-C is one of the most popular choice among students growing up in Asia.
