Pilot question:
Does anyone know if the Hi-Tec C is named anything different in the UK? Can't seem to find them.
I picked up a three pack of Pilot G-Tec-C4 to try them out (don't usually go for a rollerball)
It's the 0.4mm nib.
Much finer than I'd normally opt for and the length of the pen is a little short for my masculine fingers. But as a precision pen for sketching some truly excellent doodles and wasting paper, it ain't half bad.
Wish they came on their own though rather than having to buy three in blue.
But my question still stands - how similar are they to the Hi-Tec C? And if they're completely different, where can I find one? Don't want to order online if I can avoid it.
Still in love with the idea of Pen Type A which runs a 0.5mm Hi-Tec C nib:
