- How does the R:E erase?
- Friction from the hard tip on the back end heats the ink, which then lifts off the page. There is no eraser dust and no separate eraser to lose.
- Can I use it on exams or official documents?
- No. Erasable ink is not accepted for exams, legal signatures or archival records because it can be removed or faded by heat.
- Does the ink fade over time?
- In normal indoor storage the writing stays put. Leaving the page in a hot car or direct sun can fade or erase it.
- Is it refillable?
- Yes, uni-ball sells refills for the R:E, so you keep the barrel and replace the ink cartridge.
- How does it compare with the Pilot Frixion?
- The R:E writes with a wetter, darker gel line and feels more like a conventional pen. The Frixion comes in more tip sizes and colors.
- What tip size does it have?
- It uses an extra-fine point, giving a thin line suited to small handwriting and detailed notes.
