FAQs

Is the Pilot G-2 Plus Begreen refillable?

Yes, it is designed to be a long-lasting pen compatible with standard Pilot G-2 refills.

What is the tip size of this pen?

This model features a 0.7mm medium point tip.

Is this ink waterproof?

No, the gel ink is water-based and may run if exposed to moisture; it is not recommended for checks or legal documents.

How much recycled content is in this pen?

The pen barrel is constructed from 75% recycled plastic.

Does it work well on glossy paper?

Gel ink generally requires time to dry on glossy paper and is prone to smudging if touched immediately.

Is this pen safe for air travel?

It is generally safe, but changes in cabin pressure can sometimes cause minor ink leakage in any gel pen; keep it in a plastic bag as a precaution.

Troubleshooting

The pen skips or feels dry.

Scribble in tight circles on a piece of paper to re-prime the ball and restore smooth ink flow.

Ink is smudging on the page.

Ensure you are using absorbent paper; if you are left-handed, try a slightly lighter grip to reduce contact with wet ink.

The retractable button feels stuck.

Check for any debris or paper fibers lodged in the tip and ensure the ink cartridge is seated correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As a retractable gel pen, the G-2 Plus Begreen requires no special setup. To ensure longevity, always retract the pen point when not in use to prevent the ink from drying out or accidentally marking surfaces.

For optimal care:

  1. Store the pen horizontally to maintain even ink distribution.
  2. Keep the pen away from extreme heat, which can cause the gel ink to become too thin or leak.
  3. If the pen has been stored for a long period without use, perform a few circular motions on a scrap piece of paper to jump-start the ink flow.
