Pilot Pen Frixion Erasable Rollerball Pen - Assorted Colours (Pack of 4)

Product Information

Patented in 1975 as Metamo ink (short for metamorphosis ink), it was used in different products from color-changing paper cups to kitchen toys where the play food would change color as you submersed it in cold water. I tend to only use them to mark the piecing for applique that will be turned under, so if a little bit of the ink shows up, it will still be in a hidden location as long as I am careful to make sure to turn under accurately. Many have, including me, and I won’t use them on my quilts, but it really is a case of use what works for you! So, let your imagination soar freely, embracing the endless possibilities that await you with this revolutionary erasable gel pen. These cute stamps feature the same “erasable” FriXion ink and are perfect for schedule books, calendars, and planners.

I suspected that the marks might come back in the cold or after other uses, just as some air erase, and wash-a-way markers sometimes come back to haunt the user. The FriXion Ball 4 shares all the features of the FriXion Ball 3, except it fits four refills instead of three.Compatible with many FRIXION Family pens, this set can be used on its own or can be coupled with one or more FriXion Set2Go desk organisers. Living in an area where there is high rain fall and moisture in the air I have had the experience where the blue wash out markers have actually disappeared over night so Frixion are doing the job for me.

They do have their place-just not on things that might get cold and things where the ghosting appears. BUT, there are 5-6 blocks where the markings did not come off :( I have used everything that everyone has recommended to me, but i did not try the products that you recommended at the end of your post…. We also don’t recommend writing on the back of the page when using these pens, because the heat may transfer to the other side and cause unwanted erasing. This is what the majority of people actually want to know when they ask how a Frixion pen works due to the unique thermo-sensitive ink that the Frixion range use.Frixion erasable pens are made with a minimum of 50% recycled plastic (except for consumables), and are refillable for more economical, long-lasting use.

I did consider the possibility that it was aimed at kids for secret massages but I guess they’d have to put it in the freezer to get the ink back.I thought the pens were the best thing ever invented because I LOVE pin tucks and accurate marking is essential.
