Product Information

Full details

The Pilot G-2 Rollerball Pen in Peacock Green (0.7mm) is designed for students, office professionals, and anyone seeking a reliable, smooth-writing gel pen for everyday use, note-taking, and creative projects. Its key benefit is the consistently bold, vibrant lines produced by its smooth-flowing gel ink and medium-broad tip. A potential caveat is that the rich ink color might not be suitable for all formal documentation where standard black or blue is required.

FAQs

What type of ink does the Pilot G-2 use?

The Pilot G-2 uses a smooth-flowing, vibrant gel ink.

Can I replace the ink in this pen?

Yes, the Pilot G-2 is refillable with Pilot BLSG2 refills.

What does the '0.7mm' refer to?

The '0.7mm' refers to the diameter of the ballpoint tip, which produces a medium-broad line width.

Is the ink permanent?

The ink is archival and acid-free, designed for longevity, but it is not waterproof and can smudge if wet before fully dry.

How do I clean the pen if it gets dirty?

Wipe the exterior with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents.

What are the advantages of the peacock green ink color?

The peacock green ink provides a visually appealing and distinctive alternative to standard colors, useful for highlighting, organization, and creative expression.

Is this pen suitable for left-handed writers?

While the gel ink can smudge if not dried, many left-handed writers find the Pilot G-2's smooth flow manageable. Allowing a moment for the ink to dry is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Pen is not writing or skipping

Ensure the tip is extended. Check if the ink cartridge is empty and needs replacement. If refilling, ensure the refill is properly seated. Clean the ballpoint tip gently with a soft cloth.

Ink flow is inconsistent

The pen may have been stored tip-up for an extended period. Try writing with the pen tip-down for a few moments to encourage ink flow. Ensure the pen has not been exposed to extreme temperatures.

Grip feels sticky or unpleasant

The grip is made of rubber and can attract dust. Clean it with a slightly damp cloth and allow it to dry completely. Avoid prolonged contact with oily substances.

Retraction mechanism is stiff or not working

Ensure there is no debris around the click mechanism. Try gently wiggling the button. If the issue persists, the internal mechanism may be damaged, and it might be time to replace the pen or refill.

  • Environmentally friendly due to refillability.

Cons

  • Ink color may not be suitable for all formal settings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Pilot G-2 is ready to use straight out of the packaging. Simply extend the tip by clicking the top button. To retract, click the button again.

Compatibility: This pen uses Pilot BLSG2 refills. Ensure you purchase the correct refill model for seamless replacement.

Care:

  • Cleaning: To clean the exterior of the pen, use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the plastic and grip.
  • Storage: Store the pen with the tip retracted to prevent accidental marks and keep the ink from drying out. Avoid extreme temperatures.
  • Ink Refills: When the ink runs low, unscrew the barrel of the pen and replace the old refill with a new Pilot BLSG2 refill, following the instructions provided with the refill.
