It does not skip regardless of angle, does not feel scratchy, does not leak, does not smudge, and does not bleed even through thin dollar store composition notebook paper. The pigment is strong and the lines are consistent. Great for fast, light, small handwriting, and a delight to draw with. This has become my all-time favourite pen, and the batch I got was in perfect condition.

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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best fine point gel pens I've tried *by L***. on 10 May 2026* I had never held a pen that writes so smoothly, better than my EnerGels of similar tip size.

While PenMont makes even finer line (that was a point of me buying both), it requires 90 deg angle for smooth writting experience. Pilot's line is nearly unnoticeably thicker, but the writing it smoother even at steep angles which was immediately noticeable for me. Pilot is an inch shorter, a little bit heavier (they are both small lightweight pens). All in all I prefer the Pilot due to very smooth writing experience. ## Frequently Bought Together - Pilot Hi-Tec-C 04 Gel Ink Pen, Ultra Fine Point 0.4mm, Black Ink, LH-20C4, Value Set of 5 - Pilot G-Tec-C4 Ultra Assorted Colors 0.4MM Rollerball Pen 5 Per Pack - Pilot Hi-Tec-C 04 Gel Ink Pen, Ultra Fine Point 0.4mm, Blue Ink, LH-20C4, Value Set of 5 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/455072073-pilot-hi-tec-c-04-gel-ink-pen-ultra-fine](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/455072073-pilot-hi-tec-c-04-gel-ink-pen-ultra-fine) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-09-14*
