The excellence of the inks
"Over the years, PILOT has developed a wide range of exclusive and specific inks. The brand's chemical engineering expertise and significant investments in research, have allowed us to offer you 5 major ink technologies, which have today become a vital part of the writing market. "
Advanced oil-based ink
Advanced oil-based ink is the modern version of paste ink currently used in ballpoint pens. Soft and fluid, it provides the speed and writing comfort required for modern expression. See advanced oil-based ink pens
Liquid ink
Liquid ink is made from a dye molecule in the mass, which gives it an unrivalled fluidity, density and brilliance. When flow is controlled with the PILOT ink regulator, it flows until the very last drop providing the same line quality. Today, this ink is available in refillable cartridges for some rollerball models. See liquid ink rollerballs
Gel ink
The fluidity of gel ink is positioned somewhere between paste and liquid ink. The cartridge is sealed with a paraffin plug. PILOT has one of the largest ranges of coloured gel ink on the market with 24 bright, metallic and pastel colours... See gel ink pens
Thermosensitive ink
A new generation of gel ink, this becomes invisible as a result of heat. Initially coloured (black, blue, red...) the thermosensitve ink becomes transparent above 60°C. Thermosensitive ink pens therefore have a special tip allowing the paper to be heated quickly without destroying it. Conversely, a temperature less than -10°C makes the ink reappear. Changes that can be made as many times as you wish. This ink is used especially in the FriXon, a product celebrated by the younger generation. See thermosensitive ink pens
