- Is the ink really erasable on any paper?
- It erases on most standard papers by friction, but some papers show a faint ghost. Very glossy or coated surfaces may not erase as cleanly.
- Can I use these for checks or legal documents?
- No. The thermo-sensitive ink is not permanent and can fade or vanish with heat, so it is not suitable for checks, contracts or archival records.
- Are the pens refillable?
- Yes, each pen takes Pilot FriXion refills, which are sold separately. The eraser tip itself is not replaceable.
- What colors are in the pack?
- The three pens come in assorted barrel and ink colors. Check the listing for the exact color mix before ordering.
- How does it compare with a pencil?
- It writes darker and smoother than graphite and erases without crumbs, but unlike pencil the ink is heat-sensitive and can fade over time.
- Does the ink smudge for left-handed writers?
- The gel ink dries quickly, and most left-handed users report little smudging, though heavy pressure can still smear fresh lines.
