Product Information

Full details

The Pilot G-2 Plus Begreen Gel Ink Rollerball is an ideal writing tool for students, office professionals, and journalers who prioritize a smooth writing experience and environmental sustainability. This retractable pen offers a consistent, vivid red ink flow that prevents smudging and blobbing, making it perfect for daily note-taking or professional editing. While the pen provides exceptional performance, users should note that the gel ink may take a few seconds to fully dry on non-porous paper surfaces, which is a common characteristic of high-quality liquid gel formulations.

FAQs

Is the ink refillable?

The Pilot G-2 Plus is generally designed for single use, but the internal ink reservoir is high-capacity to ensure a long lifespan.

Is the ink waterproof?

The ink is highly durable, but like most gel pens, it is not considered archival or fully waterproof when exposed to significant moisture.

Can I use this pen for formal signatures?

Yes, the G-2 Plus is excellent for signatures due to its smooth flow, provided the document is printed on standard paper.

Does the ink smear on highlighters?

Gel ink can smudge if highlighted immediately. Allow at least 20-30 seconds for the ink to fully set before highlighting over it.

How many pens are in the pack?

This product is supplied in a convenient pack of 12.

Troubleshooting

Pen is not writing despite ink being present

The ball point may be clogged with dried ink or paper fibers. Gently scribble in small circles on a piece of scrap paper to clear the debris.

Ink is skipping or fading

Ensure you are applying light, even pressure. If the issue persists, check for air bubbles in the gel cartridge by gently tapping the pen tip-down.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Constructed from 75% recycled materials
  • Extremely smooth gel ink flow
  • Retractable tip prevents accidental ink stains
  • Ergonomic grip for long-term comfort
  • Consistent vivid color output

Cons

  • Gel ink requires slightly longer drying time than ballpoint oil-based ink
  • Not suitable for glossy or non-porous surfaces
  • Red ink intensity may bleed through very thin paper

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  • Setup: The pen is ready to use immediately out of the packaging. Simply click the plunger at the top of the barrel to extend the tip.
  • Storage: Store the pen with the tip retracted when not in use to prevent ink drying and to protect the precision tip from damage.
  • Care: Avoid leaving the pen in extreme temperatures, such as inside a vehicle during summer, as this can cause the ink to expand and potentially leak. If the pen is dropped, check the tip to ensure it has not become misaligned or bent.
  • Compatibility: While the G-2 Plus is a standalone writing instrument, it pairs best with standard bond paper or stationery. Using the pen on thermal paper or plastic-coated labels is not recommended as the ink will not bond properly.
