Questions & Answers
Is the nib interchangeable between sizes?
All variants share the same body and only the nib size changes.
What filling system does it use?
It is filled by piston filler: the base of the body is turned to drive the internal piston and draw ink straight from a bottle, with no cartridge or converter.
How is the acrylic resin cared for?
Wipe it with a soft slightly damp cloth, avoiding solvents and abrasive products.
Is the colour uniform across the whole production?
Yes, the acrylic resin is factory-dyed in the same tone for the entire series.
What warranty does it carry?
It includes 3 years of official Pilot warranty.
