Product Information

Full details

The Uni-Ball UF-222 Erasable rollerball pen is ideal for students, note-takers, and anyone who values precision and the ability to correct mistakes. Its key benefit is the specially-formulated ink that can be erased by friction, allowing for clean edits and rewrites. A potential caveat is that erased ink can reappear in extreme cold temperatures.

FAQs

How does the erasable ink work?

The ink contains a special thermochromic formula that changes color (becomes clear) when heat is generated through friction, such as rubbing with the pen's eraser.

Can the erased ink permanently disappear?

For permanent invisibility under normal conditions, ensure you apply sufficient heat by rubbing the erased area thoroughly. However, the ink can reappear if exposed to temperatures below -18°C.

What is the difference between the eraser on the cap and the one on the pen end?

Both erasers use the same friction-based technology. The cap eraser is convenient for quick fixes, while the end eraser is ideal for users who prefer to post the cap on the pen's end while writing.

Is this pen suitable for official documents?

No, due to the erasable nature of the ink and its potential to reappear in extreme cold, it is not recommended for official or permanent records.

How many colors are available?

The Uni-Ball UF-222 pens are available in a choice of seven contemporary shades.

How do I clean the pen barrel?

Wipe the metallic barrel with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Will the ink fade over time?

The ink is designed for erasability. While it is stable under normal conditions, long-term exposure to UV light or extreme temperatures could potentially affect its stability.

Troubleshooting

Ink reappears after erasing.

Subject the area to more heat by rubbing it more vigorously for a longer period. Ensure the temperature is not extremely low (-18°C or below).

Pen is not writing smoothly.

Check if the ink cartridge is empty. Ensure the writing tip is clean and free from debris.

Eraser is not effective.

The eraser may be worn down. Try the alternate eraser on the pen's cap or end. If both are worn, the pen may need replacement.

Ink smudges easily.

Allow the ink to dry for a few moments after writing before touching it. Ensure you have applied sufficient heat if you have recently erased and rewritten.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Uni-Ball UF-222 is ready to use straight out of the packaging. Simply remove any protective caps or seals before writing.

Compatibility:

This pen is designed for use on standard paper.
It is compatible with most paper types, but always test on a scrap piece if using delicate or specialty paper.
The gel ink formula works best with the pen's integrated eraser.

Care:

Store the pen with the cap securely on to prevent the ink from drying out.
Avoid exposing the pen or written material to extreme heat sources, as this could prematurely activate the ink's erasing properties.
To clean the pen's exterior, use a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.
Ensure the cap is properly sealed after use to maintain the eraser's effectiveness.
