Retractable ball pen featuring an erasable ink cartridge that disappears with the touch of an eraser are becoming increasingly popular.
Pilot’s popular FriXion gel pen offer something new with their FriXion Erasable Gel Pen, making writing boldly without fear a fun creative outlet for children of all ages, not only adults! And those of us looking to unleash our own creativity as writers.
Thermo-Sensitive Ink
Thermochromic inks are becoming increasingly popular for smart packaging, product labels, and security printing applications. Pilot has been pioneering thermochromic ink since 1975 when they first patented Metamo ink; since then they have modified it specifically to writing instruments as well as providing erasability functionality.
It results in a pen that writes smoothly (though without as much “pop” as some gel inks) and erases easily with damp sponge or tissue. Furthermore, this ink is relatively durable as well as fade-resistant; however it may fade over time in certain environmental conditions like UV light exposure. Extended exposure to heat may compromise its color change properties as well as its erasability properties.
Pilot’s FriXion Ball Knock design is one of several erasable gel pens they provide; there are different models with various tip sizes and colors, as well as retractable options that are very comfortable to use. The Ball Knock is their modernest model; an “executive” version features a more stylish wooden grip for even greater sophistication; plus they even offer models with additional refills to color-code notes or add flair to handwriting!
Erasable Ink
The FriXion erases with friction like any ordinary pen; unlike its predecessor, Papermate Erasermates that relied on rubber cement, its erasable ink doesn’t soak into paper but sits atop it allowing easy rubbing off without harming documents.
Permanency in documentation is often key. For instance, medical notes or prescriptions need to be accurate and durable in order to prevent life-threatening errors due to accidental erasures. To protect the integrity of your writing, choose a permanent marker or another type of pen which cannot be erased easily.
Pilot FriXion products include gel pens of all sizes and colors, markers and highlighters as well as multi-pens to help planner users write on stickers frequently. Erasers for your pen may wear down over time but replacement “erasers” can also be purchased if necessary.
Eraser Tip
For an erasable pen that allows users to turn mistakes into opportunities for growth, look no further than the versatile PILOT FriXion. Ideal for note takers and artists alike, its thermo-sensitive ink allows you to quickly erase and rewrite with ease; simply rub its eraser stud against your work to watch ink vanish magically!
This eraser features a fine, 0.5 mm Hi-Tecpoint tip for precise writing and drawing, unlike previous erasable pencils that required constant sharpening to remain usable. Plus, unlike earlier generations of eraseable pencils that easily smudged when exposed to water.
Eraser Properties provides many options for customizing your eraser, such as setting its paper texture or activating Harmony for softening curves of eraser strokes automatically. Finally, Transparency lets you control whether or not antialiasing should apply.

Available in several colors and bundled in sets of 12, these convenient erasable markers can be placed anywhere – the kitchen, purse or desk at work and near your phone all provide opportunities for quick jotting down of grocery lists, important messages or messages received on call.
Comfortable grips make long writing sessions less strainful for the hands, helping you maintain speed and complete tasks more quickly – whether taking notes in class or trying to finish an exam within its allotted time limit.

These thermo-sensitive gel ink pens are fantastic. While the ink may be more permanent than standard ink, its smooth writing action allows for effortless erasing without leaving behind any eraser dust crumbs.
The ILMILY Color features the same dynamic ink found in other FriXion pens, but is housed in an elegant black pen body for added elegance and performance. It feels great and looks professional enough for use at work – its slim body features lightly decorated branding while the cap posts deeply; there is even an “eraser” built into its end that offers greater power than what comes built-in to the pen itself; plus it also comes equipped with an “on” light to show it is active!
