Operating Instructions
These pens utilize special thermosensitive ink, allowing for unique writing and erasing capabilities.
Writing
- Hold the pen comfortably as you would any standard gel pen.
- Apply light pressure to write smoothly on paper. The 0.7mm tip provides a medium line.
- Ink colors are black for Cat, Bee, Corgi, Giraffe, Panda designs, and blue for Shark and Hippo designs.

Erasing
The eraser is located at the end of the pen, opposite the writing tip.
- To erase, rub the eraser firmly over the written text. The friction generates heat, which causes the thermosensitive ink to become transparent.
- The eraser is designed not to wear down or damage the paper surface, ensuring clean corrections.

Thermosensitive Ink Properties
The ink in these pens is unique because it reacts to temperature changes:
- Erasing: Heat generated by friction (rubbing the eraser) makes the ink disappear.
- Reappearance: The ink will reappear at temperatures below -10°C (14°F). This means if a written or erased message is exposed to very cold conditions, it may become visible again.

Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your Legami Erasable Gel Pens.
- Storage: Store pens at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or extreme heat sources, as high temperatures can cause the ink to fade or become transparent.
- Refilling: These pens are designed to be refillable. When the ink runs out, replace it with Legami thermosensitive ink refills to maintain the erasable function.
- Cap Usage: Always replace the cap after use to prevent the ink from drying out and to protect the pen tip.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your pens, consider the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Ink appears faded or invisible. | Exposure to heat (e.g., warm room, direct sunlight, friction). | Place the paper or pen in a cold environment (e.g., refrigerator) for a few minutes. The ink should reappear when the temperature drops below -10°C (14°F). |
| Pen is not writing smoothly or ink flow is inconsistent. | Ink may be low, or the tip may have dried slightly. | Ensure the cap was replaced after last use. Try writing a few strokes on a scrap piece of paper to prime the tip. If the issue persists, consider replacing the ink refill. |
| Eraser is not effective. | Insufficient friction/heat, or attempting to erase non-thermosensitive ink. | Apply firm, consistent pressure when rubbing the eraser. Ensure you are only attempting to erase ink from Legami thermosensitive pens. |
