  I like these pens with..., November 14, 2011

By maarten

I like these pens with erasable ink and in playing with them my kids and I discovered a few interesting things. When you rub the ink it heats up and "disappears". In reality, the ink turns white. If you try this on dark paper (black, for instance) the text will show up white after you erase it.

If you heat up your writing in some other way, say, by leaving it in a hot car or holding the paper up against a hot light bulb, it will also disappear. So, don't leave any important notes in your car in the sun. But, if you want your notes back, you can put the paper in the freezer. After a while your text will be back again, albeit not quite as dark as before.

My experiences were from about 2 years ago. It may be that the inks have improved. So beware, if the permanence of what you write is important to you, don't use this pen. Be weary of diplomats you hand it to you to sign treaties and that sort of thing :-)

By Lynnsiana

I really love this pen, the only thing I don't like about it, is that it is a little too light for my taste.

It writes really smooth, though it does take about 2 seconds to get the flow going, after that it is pretty amazing from there.

I would recommend this pen to anyone who loves the idea of erasing ink :)

I use this pen for taking class notes, and I love it for that purpose. I really do love to write in pen but am often times forced to write in pencil due to the nature of my classes, so this pen is a winner for me. It erases completely and although the ink is not very dark, that also means it does not bleed or go through the paper. I will be using these pens far into the future!

This is the most awesome erasable pen ever made!

By qrv...

I have this pen in black and like it well enough, I do not find that the ink erases *completely*, however, so YMMV. I did not have trouble with it for small areas, but erasing a full word or something still gives me a shadow. I still use it and will buy more of them.

By lordofthefobs+jetpens

I was skeptical at first... but this thing really does work. it does exactly what it claims to do. if you are writing on a soft paper, maybe you will see imprints .. or bit of tear on the paper, but normal paper usage works just fine.

By kuragari389

I absolutely love these pens! I was skeptical when I first bought a set because erasable pens don't usually have a very good track record. However, I was very impressed once I started using it. I tend to make quite a few mistakes when I write because I write faster than I think, so this is perfect for me.

My only issue with them though is that they don't seem to last very long. I write /a lot/ and the pen only lasted about a week. I think that translated into about 15 notebook pages, give or take. Of course, I think they are totally worth the extra cash for replacements.

  These pens erase beautifully...., June 30, 2008

By ebenfatto

These pens erase beautifully. The ink color is somewhat light (the black actually looks a bit more like pencil than gel ink) but it doesn't have the gooey, sticky consistency that erasable ink pens have had up to now. If you need to erase, it's best until the writing is dry. I have done it immediately after writing a mistake and the ink smudged, becoming a bit difficult to erase completely. But that's a minor detail. These are definitely worth the price.

By happytangerines

Let me just say that I LOVE this pen. It's a perfect substitute for a pencil and the ink erases clearly. I read the description on the item and I noticed it said the ink was heat sensitive, so I tested some writing against a light bulb and sure enough the ink disappeared. However, this was only when the writing came in direct contact with the bulb, so I don't think I have to worry. Also you can erase the ink with any other kind of eraser because the friction will generate heat anyway.

But all in all I love this pen!

By ecledyl

Awesome pen. It erases easy, fast, and cleanly.

Although if you write small I do not recommend it. I write small, so I cannot use it as my main writing utensil, then again 0.5 isn't for small writing. Overall it is great.

By q335r49

Wow, it does exactly what it claims to. This has definitely become my only pen/pencil. It's eraser never runs out, and it writes cleaner and faster than a pencil, no need to constantly adjust lead length ... but you already know all this. This is like the greatest thing since sliced bread.
