FAQs

How does the erasable ink work?

The Giraffe Legami Erasable Pen uses special heat-sensitive gel ink. When you rub the eraser ball over the ink, the friction creates heat, which causes the ink to become transparent and effectively disappear. The eraser ball itself does not consume or wear down.

Will the ink disappear if my notes get hot?

Yes, because the ink is heat-sensitive, prolonged exposure to high temperatures (e.g., direct sunlight, hot cars, near heaters) can cause your writing to fade or disappear. It's recommended to keep your notes and pen away from extreme heat sources.

Can I use this pen for legal documents or checks?

No, due to its erasable nature and heat sensitivity, this pen is not suitable for signing legal documents, checks, or any important paperwork where permanent, tamper-proof ink is required. Always use permanent ink for such purposes.

Does the eraser ball wear out?

No, the special ball at the end of the pen is designed not to wear out like traditional rubber erasers. It works by generating friction and heat, not by abrasion, so it will last for the lifetime of the pen.

What is the tip size of this pen?

The Giraffe Legami Erasable Pen features a fine 0.7 mm tip diameter, which provides a smooth and precise writing line for various tasks.

Are refills available for this pen?

Info needed: The product description does not explicitly state whether refills are available for the Giraffe Legami Erasable Pen (EP0019). Please check with the manufacturer or retailer for refill options.

What color is the ink?

The Giraffe Legami Erasable Pen (EP0019) uses black heat-sensitive gel ink.

Troubleshooting

Ink is not flowing smoothly or stops writing.

Ensure the cap was on when not in use. Gently shake the pen downwards to encourage ink flow. You can also try lightly scribbling on a scrap piece of paper to restart the ink. If the tip feels dry, try drawing a few lines very slowly.

Ink is not erasing completely or leaves a faint mark.

Ensure you are using the eraser ball firmly but not excessively hard, as to not damage the paper. Make sure the paper surface is clean. Some paper types or very absorbent paper might retain a faint trace of the ink. Avoid re-erasing over the same spot multiple times, which can sometimes damage the paper surface and make it harder to erase.

Ink disappears unexpectedly.

This is likely due to exposure to heat. Remember that the ink is heat-sensitive. Avoid leaving your pen or written notes in direct sunlight, hot vehicles, or near heat sources. If notes disappear due to heat, sometimes placing the paper in a freezer for a short period can make the ink reappear, though this is not guaranteed and results may vary.

The eraser ball feels ineffective or slick.

The eraser ball is designed not to wear out. If it feels slick, ensure there is no residue or oil on it. You can gently wipe it with a clean, dry cloth. The friction it generates is key to erasing, so ensure full contact with the ink.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

The Giraffe Legami Erasable Pen requires no complex setup. Simply uncap the pen and it's ready for use. Remove any protective tip cover if present before first use.

Compatibility

This pen is compatible with most standard paper types commonly used for writing and drawing. For optimal erasing results, use it on smooth paper surfaces.

Care & Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your erasable pen, follow these care instructions:

  • Protect from Heat: As the ink is heat-sensitive, avoid leaving the pen or written notes in direct sunlight, hot cars, or near heat sources (e.g., radiators, hot drinks). Prolonged exposure to heat can cause the ink to fade or disappear.
  • Cap When Not in Use: Always replace the cap tightly when the pen is not in use to prevent the ink from drying out and to protect the tip.
  • Store Properly: Store the pen at room temperature in a dry place. Extreme cold can sometimes affect ink flow, though it usually recovers at room temperature.
  • Clean Gently: If the pen tip accumulates lint or debris, gently wipe it with a clean, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
