The Pilot P-500 Extra Fine Ball Pen (0.5mm) uses liquid ink for high-precision writing tasks. A needle point tip produces a consistent 0.3mm to 0.4mm line width. Waterproof ink stays clear even if the paper gets wet.
Key Features
- 3-Point Bearing Tip: Three dimples hold the tungsten carbide ball inside the point. Prevents the ball from popping out after a drop.
- Direct Ink Control System: Regulates internal pressure to feed liquid ink to the tip. Maintains line consistency from the first to last drop.
- Ribbed Finger Grip: Grooved surface molded into the pen's plastic barrel. Stops fingers from sliding during heavy sweat or long sessions.
- Airplane Safe Technology: Internal pressure compensation prevents ink leakage at high altitudes. Carry it on flights without risk of mess.
- Waterproof Pigment Ink: Chemically stable formula resists fading and water damage. Writing remains legible despite road dust or high humidity.
