How does the FriXion erasable ink work?

The gel ink reacts to heat from friction. Rubbing with the pen's tip generates enough heat to make the ink clear, so you can write over the same spot.

Will erased writing come back?

Cold can make erased ink reappear faintly. Leaving paper in a hot car or near a radiator can make the writing fade for good.

Is the 0.7 mm point good for everyday writing?

Yes. It is a fine point that suits notes, lists and forms, and the gel ink dries quickly enough for most writing.

Can these pens be refilled?

Yes. The ColorSticks barrel takes FriXion refills, so you can keep using it instead of replacing the whole pen.

Do the pens have clips or retract?

No. They are capped and clipless, with a slim barrel designed not to roll off a desk.
