FAQs
How do I erase the ink?
Use the special FriXion eraser tip located on the top of the pen. Rub the tip gently over the written text.
Can I use this pen on important documents?
It is not recommended for legal documents, checks, or other important records as the ink is erasable and sensitive to heat. Use permanent ink pens for such purposes.
What happens if I leave the pen in a hot car?
The erasable ink is heat-sensitive. If exposed to high temperatures (above 140°F/60°C), the ink may become invisible or fade. It might reappear in cooler temperatures, but this is not guaranteed.
Are the ink refills available?
While this specific 2-pack model may not be refillable, Pilot offers other FriXion models that are refillable. Check the product packaging or Pilot's official website for refill compatibility.
Does the eraser damage the paper?
No, the FriXion eraser is designed to erase the special ink cleanly without wearing down or tearing the paper, and it leaves no messy crumbs.
What is the tip size?
This FriXion Clicker pen features a fine 0.7 mm tip.
Can I write over erased areas?
Yes, you can write over areas where ink has been erased without issue, allowing for seamless revisions.
Troubleshooting
Pen not writing or skipping
Ensure the tip is fully extended. Check if the ink cartridge is empty. If the pen has been exposed to cold, warm it gently in your hands.
Ink not erasing cleanly
Use the special FriXion eraser tip on the pen. Ensure you are erasing shortly after writing, as older marks may be harder to remove. Avoid pressing too hard, which can embed the ink.
Ink has disappeared
This is likely due to heat exposure. Store the pen in a cooler environment. The ink may reappear when the temperature drops significantly, but it cannot be guaranteed.
Eraser tip is worn down
The FriXion eraser tip is designed to wear down with use. If it becomes too worn to erase effectively, consider purchasing a new pen or looking for compatible refillable models if available.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These pens require no setup. Simply click the top button to extend the writing tip and click the side clip to retract it.
Compatibility: The FriXion ink is designed for use on most standard paper types. It is *not* recommended for use on thermal paper or for documents requiring permanent ink, such as checks or official records. The ink is sensitive to heat; avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures above 140°F (60°C).
Care: To maintain optimal performance, retract the tip when not in use to protect it. Store pens in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat sources. If the ink flow seems reduced, ensure the pen is not exposed to extreme temperatures.
