Product Information

Full details

The Pilot G-2 Plus Begreen is an ideal writing instrument for students, office professionals, and journalers who prioritize a smooth, consistent ink flow and environmental consciousness. It delivers a reliable, skip-free writing experience thanks to its high-quality gel ink formula, though users should be aware that the pigment-rich ink requires a moment to dry on non-porous surfaces to avoid smudging.

FAQs

Is this pen waterproof?

The gel ink is water-resistant on most standard paper, but it is not classified as archival or waterproof.

Can I refill this pen?

Yes, the Pilot G-2 Plus Begreen is compatible with standard Pilot G-2 gel ink refills.

What does the 'Begreen' label mean?

It signifies that the product is part of Pilot's sustainable manufacturing initiative, made with at least 70-75% recycled content.

How long does the ink last?

The longevity depends on writing pressure and frequency, but the G-2 series is widely known for having a high ink capacity.

Is this pen suitable for left-handed writers?

Yes, though left-handed writers should be mindful of the ink's drying time to avoid 'hand-smear' when moving across the page.

Can I use this on photos or glossy surfaces?

It is not recommended, as the gel ink may not adhere correctly and will likely remain wet for a very long time.

Troubleshooting

Ink flow is intermittent or skipping

Try scribbling on a scrap piece of paper to jumpstart the ball tip, or check if the ink reservoir is empty.

Pen tip feels scratchy

Ensure there is no dried ink or debris on the ball point; gently wipe the tip with a soft cloth.

Retraction mechanism is stuck

Ensure the barrel is fully tightened and check for any internal obstructions; avoid forcing the clicker if resistance is felt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using the pen, simply press the button at the top of the barrel to extend the tip. No assembly is required. To maintain peak performance, store the pen with the tip retracted whenever it is not in use to prevent the ink from drying out or leaking into pockets. The pen is compatible with standard G-2 style refills, allowing you to extend the life of the barrel. Keep the pen away from extreme heat sources, such as direct sunlight in a hot car, as high temperatures can compromise the viscosity of the gel ink and lead to inconsistent flow.
