Product Information
Full details
This guide is for users of Pilot Frixion Ball and Frixion Clicker pens who need replacement ink. The key benefit is the ability to correct errors cleanly with erasable ink, ensuring your writing stays neat. A potential caveat is that the ink may disappear under extreme heat, so avoid leaving written materials in hot environments. This set provides 9 blue ink refills, each with a durable stainless steel tip and tungsten carbide ball, offering a 0.7mm ball diameter for a 0.4mm line width.

FAQs
What makes Frixion ink erasable?
Frixion ink is a thermosensitive ink. When friction is applied (usually by the special eraser tip on Frixion pens), the heat generated causes the ink to become transparent. When cooled, the ink can reappear.
How do I ensure the ink reappears after it disappears due to heat?
Place the written material in a freezer or a cool environment. The ink should reappear as the temperature drops.
How many refills are included in this set?
This set includes a total of 9 Frixion Rollerball refills in blue ink.
What is the line width produced by this refill?
The 0.7mm ball diameter creates a fine line width of 0.4mm.
Can I use these refills in any Pilot pen?
No, these refills are specifically designed for the Pilot Frixion Ball and Pilot Frixion Clicker pens only. They are not compatible with other pen models.
Are these refills suitable for archival purposes?
Due to the thermosensitive nature of the ink, Frixion ink is generally not recommended for documents requiring permanent archival stability, as it can disappear with heat.
How long does the ink typically last?
Ink longevity depends on writing frequency and pressure. However, the refill itself is designed to provide a standard writing capacity comparable to other rollerball refills.
Troubleshooting
Pen is not writing or ink flow is weak.
Ensure the refill is correctly and fully inserted into the pen. Check if the protective cap or seal on the refill tip was removed. Try writing on a different type of paper, as some surfaces may affect ink flow.
Ink has disappeared after writing.
This is likely due to exposure to heat. Store the document in a cool environment. The ink may reappear when cooled. Note that this is a characteristic of Frixion ink.
Refill doesn't fit into the pen.
Verify that you are using a compatible Pilot Frixion pen model (Frixion Ball or Frixion Clicker). These refills are not interchangeable with other pen types.
Ink smudges excessively.
Allow a moment for the ink to dry completely after writing, especially on non-porous surfaces. Ensure the pen tip is clean and free from debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unscrew the barrel of your compatible Pilot Frixion pen (Frixion Ball or Frixion Clicker).
- Remove the empty ink cartridge.
- Insert a new Pilot Frixion Rollerball Refill.
- Screw the barrel back onto the pen body.
Compatibility:
- These refills are specifically designed for the Pilot Frixion Ball and Pilot Frixion Clicker pen models.
- They are not compatible with other pen brands or different Pilot pen series.
Care:
- Store refills in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Avoid exposing the ink or written documents to extreme heat (e.g., car dashboards, direct sunlight for extended periods), as the ink may become invisible. If this occurs, refrigerating the document can sometimes restore the ink.
- Clean the pen exterior with a soft, dry cloth if needed.
