The ink erases great and doesn't leave all the little eraser debris all over.

I really like the ink and the ability to completely erase a mistake.

However, the ink erases far better than I expected.

Although it is supposed to erase the ink, what it does is to change color to transparent at (60 degrees Celsius or 140 degrees Fahrenheit)

I love these pens and the colors; however, the ink runs out very quickly

They write great, nice smooth ink flow and no globs

Smooth, great ink that's actually erasable.

Erases very well and the ink is good

The ink doesn't smear or fall off, and it erases really well

Very smooth writing and ink dries quickly!

I also wish the ink was darker

The ink is dark unlike other brands

Downside-Once you have erased, the ink doesn't write as smooth over top of the original spot

It's a win-win with price, easy disappearing ink, and dark enough to see it on fabric when sewing

So now I am stuck with pens that dont have any ink and lost out.

These have much better ink flow than the thin pointed

love that the ink is replaceable

They completely erase any mistakes and you don't have to push down hard for the ink to show like previous erasable pens that I've used before.

The ink glides on the paper easy and the eraser erases the ink completely if you make a mistake.

No smearing and smudging, just no more ink.

The ink erases cleanly and the eraser does not tear through the paper quickly

Ink is always easier to see but often ruin a puzzle

but the ink is horrible plus the plastic feels very cheap.

great!)The writing is smooth and the black ink is easy to see.

A fair amount of pressure is required to 'erase" the ink, because it is actually rubbed off buy the end of the pen

My favorite ink pens:-)

I've had really falls under user error - I occasionally forget that it doesn't take a HUGE amount of heat to erase the ink, and I put a sheet I've written on through my printer to print a form on the back, and the ink disappears

Two reasons: the ink disappears in heat (left my calendar in the car during an appointment, and lost some entries - they just faded away) and the pens dry up entirely in the heat

It's smooth, doesn't smudge, no drying time, and erases ink better than a #2 pencil does lead.

The ink erases like no other erasable pen

Hint - use the cap end to erase, won't smudge ink from the black squares.

The downside is they don't seem to have enough ink and run out too quickly compared to regular pens..

The teen loves this pen, he uses it for all of his school work and has no problems with erasing the ink.

Best ink pens ever!!!

Sadly my black pen writes with white/clear ink, Not sure why

The ink shows up much better than pencil lead when doing crossword puzzles, but it does not erase that well.

Pilot FriXion's erasable ink is far superior to the messy substance in competitors' pens (that was supposedly erasable but tended to smudge and leave ugly marks on the page).

I'm a teacher and was grading papers during Field Day and left them laying on a blanket for a few hours, when I came back all of the pens were writing in clear ink, except for the pen that was under my backpack

I wondered if the issue happens after the pen is opened/used or is it just inferior ink?

Just be careful not to write checks or sign documents because the ink will disappear completely when erased

Depending on the paper or surface, the ink is generally easy to erase, only occasionally requiring the application of a great amount of pressure.

Since the ink is heat sensitive, be VERY careful

and I only buy them because we do a lot of note taking for our college classes; and if a professor corrects him/herself, the ink can easily be erased.

One of the parents at our school discovered that the ink becomes invisible with extreme heat but they come right back once the pens cool down.

The ink erases cleanly - no smudges.

I love these pens overall, but as noted in the description, if the pens get too hot, the ink will no longer work/be visibile.

The ink is heat sensitive and the writing will disappear from the paper if you leave it in the sun or a very warm place

I took off one star because occasionally the ink will come out choppy and isn't as free flowing as I would

The ink is a bit slow to dry and can smudge.

The ink has a good ink flow, and bright colors...and they really do erase completely :)

I used this pen for my actuarial exam...in the summerbad decision because all the ink will turn clear under the heatnow i am super nervous if I might get a 0 on my test because my paper will be mailed to the grader

Many puzzle books are printed on newprint paper and that could be the reason for poor ink removal

The ink is awesome and very erasable.

She tried to erase in the center of a figure she had colored in but the ink was wet and didn't erase

The only problem with them is if you work in a hot environment the heat totally erases all the ink off of the paper.

Even the red ink worked beautifully.

Another brand I brought (forgot the name), the ink rubbed off when you lay your hand on the paper

The ink erases very easily and completely.

Ink is not quite as dark as I expected

but hey the ink works really

This is excellent for making any sort of list you need to photo copy--errors are easily fixed without a mess, and the ink shows up well on the copy.

I tried to erase a few words from a sentence I had written a month prior to when I attempted to erase it...the ink acted like regular pens

The ink is heat sensitive and the writing will disappear from the paper if you leave it in the sun or a very warm place

I tried to erase a few words from a sentence I had written a month prior to when I attempted to erase it...the ink acted like regular pens

The ink also erases completely with only a little pressure.

Sometimes the pen would erase fine, sometimes it would leave ink residue, sometimes it would smear the ink all over the

The ink has a good ink flow, and bright colors...and they really do erase completely :)

I picked up the pens at Target in Wisconsin but the ink was poor though the eraser was good.

The writing is very smooth, the ink disappears completely when erased with the built in eraser that is attached to the pen.

The ink erases through friction, so when you rub the 'eraser' on the paper, it heats up the ink and the ink evaporates

and I only buy them because we do a lot of note taking for our college classes; and if a professor corrects him/herself, the ink can easily be erased.

They have a good tip to provide adequate ink to the page

They are extremely helpful for marking where the design will be centered and the ink disappears quickly with minor heat, like with an iron

My one complain is this specific batch of pens takes longer to dry so if you write something and straightaway try to erase it the ink will bleed everywhere

They are smooth with consistent ink flow and erase well.

Not only do they yield beautiful, dark and steady ink flow, they are actually and truly erasable leaving no sign of previous markings on the paper.

green ink glows yellow under blacklight

The ink erases like no other erasable pen

The ink is much bolder to read than pencil, but because I can erase it's easy to rearrange things when my schedule changes.

Love the fact that you can erase the ink (great if you are a teaching correcting papers)

The eraser is not what erases the ink.

Sometimes, the ink may leave smudges, and may not clean completely, but you can use an iron to completely remove it.

Totally erasable, just be sure ink is dry or it smears a bit

Remember that the ink is heat sensitive

Less pressure and speed leaves some smeared ink

Excellent nib and ink flowGreat colorEasy to use

Ink is always easier to see but often ruin a puzzle

Love that they are erasable but ink runs out faster than most pens

These pens are a great value and I love how they write I just wish the black ink was a little darker but all in all a great pen for its value.

It is so cool that you can use ink and still erase if you make a mistake

Obviously you're looking at this pen because of it's ability to erase the ink,

Less pressure and speed leaves some smeared ink

It works like a pencil, but inks like a pen, who could ask for more

Different colors, writes PERFECTLY (smooth and with enough ink, I'm particular about how my pens glide across paper as it affects my handwriting and speed) and allows me to review my notes easily

I was pretty skeptical about using an ink pen on my quilt top, so I tried all the colors on a piece of scrap fabric; I used an iron to provide the heat needed to erase the ink (instead of using the nub of the pen to erase with friction, which I was concerned would distort my fabrics) and it erased completely

Downside-Once you have erased, the ink doesn't write as smooth over top of the original spot

The ink doesn't smear or fall off, and it erases really well

On paper, the ink looks almost like a matte finish, very light and quick drying

The reason being is that if you try to erase, the ink won't completely erase and/or the ink will smear (gel ink has a hard time drying when applied to glossy paper), leaving behind mild but visible color splotches that will NOT erase

Ink erases clearly

I really like these pens, I just wish the ink was a bit darker

I loved using this pen because it was so smooth to write with and the ink was very sharp and looked like pencil

I found ink to be spotty at best

Excellent for marking on fabric, the ink disappears when ironed

Pros: -- The ink is smooth, and the erasing is near-complete

My elementary school grandson uses them in class and his papers look clean, no messy ink mark.

The colors are bright, writing is easily visible, the ink flows smoothly, and everything erases cleanly

all the teachers at my daughters school recommmended these pens they come out great color and the ink lasts for about well my daughters lasted for

Lost ink very quickly.

This ink actually erases cleanly.

Beautiful vibrant colors, the smooth pilot ink I love, and they erase quite well!

These pens are comfortable to write with (I have carpal tunnel) and have smooth, nicely colored ink.

Loved that I could erase it but still have 'ink' on the page as opposed to pencil that smeared over time to the first few months in my appointment book

Cons.*Expensive*Ink is

The ink erases great and doesn't leave all the little eraser debris all over.

Ink wore out with in 3-4 weeks and then broke, because the pens are cheaply glued together

Let me cut to the end and make this less boring, yes the eraser is amazing and does do a good job and erases the ink, but it does leave the outline in a white form, but as long as you write over it, you will not even notice something there was erased

The ink erases OK immediately after you write

These pens were slow to get a smooth ink flow

The temperature-sensitive ink doesn't rub off, but rather disappears as a function of the increase in temperature when friction is applied (a pretty nifty bit of engineering!).

The ink is smooth, and the erasing is near-complete

This is amazing disappearing ink for checks

The ink in the pens doesn't last nearly as long as many other pens, but there are ink refills available both online and in stores which ultimately makes them just as economic as other pens (otherwise I would have been forced to switch back to pencils).

This is the only pens that advertise erasable ink and really work

The ink erases easily when I have to change an appointment, and the different colors help me stay organized

Yeah - the paper from the freezer is not as dark as the original ink,

but she said the special ink gets erased on its own after a while making it impossible to read old notes.

The ink did not erase cleanly.

The ink certainly does come off and the soft plastic eraser works pretty well.

Smooth, nice ink, and love its erasable

Pens do erase well as advertised, but the quality of the writing is not good - ink is spotty, not good to write with

The Pilot FriXion pens write smoothly and the ink is easy to erase.

A good compromise if you prefer ink but need to erase.

Only issues have been that the ink can get jammed (still writes, just less ink) and the paper friction can occasionally erase the ink by itself.

[I DID use them constantly, since I write all of my notes, outlines, rough drafts, etc. on paper.]Despite that, I really loved using them because the ink was a good quality and erased well

The ink in these pens is heat sensitive

However, the ink is rather faint, and they dried up SO FAST

The ink really does fully erase & doesnt leave worn away paper or erase marks

them!The ink is a great color and it erases to easily and doesn't smudge at all!!!

so no worries on making a mess and only the rubber part at the end of the pen can erase the ink

The cheap pens resulted in spotty ink and blanks spots where no ink came out at

(Rather than erase the way that a typical pencil eraser might, these use a little rubber nib on the pen to create “Frixion”- and, thus, heat- which “erases” the ink

Depending on the paper or surface, the ink is generally easy to erase, only occasionally requiring the application of a great amount of pressure.

I was unaware that leaving my paper in the heat would cause the heat to erase the ink

Although it is supposed to erase the ink, what it does is to change color to transparent at (60 degrees Celsius or 140 degrees Fahrenheit)

As far as erasable pens go, FriXion offers the smoothest writing (not as smooth as "regular" ink) with the best results regarding complete and total ink removal

The only reason I took away one star is becase I have had nice darker more pigmented ink with other ball point pens.

You are not going to write with anything else when you've been able to turn in ERROR-free INK WORK

Not always a dark ink, but they erase fantastically

As long as you don't press so hard as to create a deep crease in the paper, the ink will almost completely erase

Honestly, I prefer the black ones because they write more clearly and the ink is darker.

The ink erases easily and is smooth unlike PaperMate pens

Ink completely disappears- not useable in any office situation- had to re write everything pens were used on-

The ink is kind of spotty sometimes but for the most part they work great

However, they write well, and the ink is nice an pigmented.

The ink erases, but not as well as I'd hope to see

The ink cannot be erased by a regular eraser, which I also like,

The ink is kind of spotty sometimes but for the most part they work great

While being able to erase the ink is nice, the actual quality of writing is fairly weak.

Typically the ink is oily and it doesn't erase well at all.

You are not going to write with anything else when you've been able to turn in ERROR-free INK WORK

Sometimes, the ink may leave smudges, and may not clean completely, but you can use an iron to completely remove

The only reason I took away one star is becase I have had nice darker more pigmented ink with other ball point pens.

Giving 4 stars because I wish the ink was a little darker and that they'd last a little longer (I'm working on a master's thesis so that might have something to do with it...).

The best part about these is that when you erase, the ink is not permanent

the price was a bit steep and the ink is a lighter grey than i expected but they erase very well

I had never used erasable ink before, but I absolutely love these erasable gel pens

The ink seems a little faded but it works good overall.

Bright, fluid, ERASBLE ink

The ink erases cleanly - no smudges.

They have a great grip, fine point, wonderful clear ink that doesn't bleed and add erasable to all that

Pens do erase well as advertised, but the quality of the writing is not good - ink is spotty, not good to write with

Depending on the paper or surface, the ink is generally easy to erase, only occasionally requiring the application of a great amount of pressure.

I left them in my car and the heat erased the ink and all my events disappeared

Like some of the other reviews mentioned, the ink itself doesn't fully erase, but the color in the ink does totally disappear

i expected these pens to be gel that is erasable but its just a usual ink pen that can be erased by friction

However, they do not last long and replacement ink is so expensive.

If you remember the old-school erasable ink pens and how they didn't erase very well, prepare to be surprised - these actually erase pretty much completely, even after a few days

I love pens but especially these ones - beautiful colors, perfect ink flow and erasable and refillable

Good pens, low ink.

These erase really well and the ink is nice and bold
