FAQs
Can I use this pen for official documents?
No, this pen is not recommended for official documents, contracts, or anything that requires permanent ink. The erasable nature of the ink means it can disappear or reappear with temperature changes and can be erased.
How do I erase the ink?
You can erase the ink by rubbing it with the special Frixion eraser tip on the pen, or with any dedicated Frixion eraser. Ensure the eraser is clean before use.
What is the ballpoint size?
This pen features a 0.38 mm fine point ballpoint.
What happens if the pen gets too hot or too cold?
If the pen is exposed to temperatures around 60°C (140°F) or higher, the ink will become colorless. If exposed to temperatures around -10°C (14°F) or lower, erased handwriting may reappear. Storing it in a temperate environment resolves these issues.
Can I refill this pen?
Yes, this pen is refillable. You can purchase and replace the ink cartridge with a compatible Pilot Frixion 038mm black ballpoint pen refill.
Is the pen body made of plastic or metal?
The pen body is made from stainless steel, providing a durable and high-quality finish.
Troubleshooting
Ink becomes colorless or faint
The pen has been exposed to temperatures above 60°C (140°F). Store the pen in a cool environment. The ink should reappear as it cools down.
Handwriting reappears after erasing
The pen has been exposed to temperatures around -10°C (14°F) or lower. Warm the paper slightly (e.g., by rubbing gently with your hand) to make the ink disappear again. Store in a warmer environment.
Ink does not erase cleanly
Ensure you are using the special Frixion eraser and that it is clean. If writing on specialty paper like thermal paper, the ink may not erase effectively. Try a different paper type.
Pen is not writing
Check if the ink cartridge is empty and needs replacement. Ensure the refill is correctly inserted.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Pilot Frixion Ball Slim Biz Pen is ready to use out of the box. Ensure the cap is removed before writing. To replace the ink cartridge, unscrew the pen barrel, remove the old refill, and insert a new compatible Pilot Frixion 038mm refill.
Compatibility: This pen is designed for use on most standard paper types. Avoid using it on thermal paper, carbonless copy paper, or other specialty surfaces where the ink might not erase properly or could damage the paper.
Care: Store the pen in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and high temperatures (above 60°C or 140°F) to prevent the ink from becoming colorless. Avoid storing in hot cars or near heat sources. To erase, use the special Frixion eraser tip on the pen or a dedicated Frixion eraser. Ensure the eraser is clean before use to avoid transferring dirt to the paper.
