I didn&#8217;t even hear about them myself until 2012, though the product has existed for 5+ years.<\/p>\n<p>Frixion pens are not the smearing horror pens that you may have used in school &#8212; the ink is not rubbed away &#8212; it actually becomes invisible when heated with an erasing motion of the rubber tailcap. No eraser dust is generated.<\/p>\n<p>This pen allows me to take correctable notes at work at the speed and detail I desire, yet have the text be dark enough that the resulting documents can be read when scanned.<\/p>\n<p>As electronic documents become more popular, I think Frixion pens will have a bigger role in replacing mechanical pencils, whose gray output is not always clear when scanned.<\/p>\n<p>The pens come in gel, marker, and highlighter types with various colors. They are easy to come by at your local office and grocery stores, and are as cheap as $2 a pen.  <\/p>\n<p>Of course, I wanted something with a finer tip, and more business-appropriate, so I sprung for a 0.4mm, metal-frame <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B003EECZJ8\/?tag=cooltools-20\">LF-2SP4-B business-style Frixion pen<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Note: Because the ink disappears under heat, do not leave your notes in a car on a hot, summer day, as they will disappear. They are recoverable by putting the document in the freezer, however. That brings up a concern about whether or not text erased by the tailcap can be recovered in the freezer. From my experience, when the tailcap is used to erase text, it&#8217;s mostly unrecoverable by the freezer method.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Erasable pen uses heat to make the writing disappear<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[31],"tags":[1520],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12415"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12415"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12415\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":35504,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12415\/revisions\/35504"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12415"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12415"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12415"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
