2. Setup
Legami Erasable Gel Pens are ready for immediate use directly out of the packaging. No assembly or special preparation is required.
3. Operating Instructions
3.1. Writing
To write, simply remove the cap and use the pen as you would any standard gel pen. The 0.7mm tip provides a smooth and consistent ink flow.
3.2. Erasing
To erase, turn the pen around and use the special rubber ball located at the end of the barrel. Gently rub the eraser over the ink you wish to remove. The thermosensitive ink will disappear due to the friction-generated heat. The eraser is designed not to wear down or damage the paper surface.

3.3. Special Feature: Reappearing Ink
A unique characteristic of thermosensitive ink is its ability to reappear when exposed to very cold temperatures (below -10°C or 14°F). This allows for fun "secret message" activities:
- Write your message on a piece of paper using the erasable pen.
- Erase the message completely using the eraser on the end of the pen.
- Place the paper in a freezer for a few minutes.
- The ink will reappear, revealing your secret message!

4. Maintenance
- Storage: Store pens at room temperature. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat, as this can cause the ink to fade or disappear prematurely. Similarly, avoid storing in very cold environments to prevent the ink from reappearing.
- Cleaning: If the pen barrel becomes dirty, wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Cap Usage: Always replace the cap firmly after use to prevent the ink from drying out and to protect the pen tip.
5. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Ink does not erase completely. | Insufficient friction/heat; eraser tip is dirty. | Apply more firm pressure while erasing. Ensure the eraser tip is clean. Rub in small, circular motions. |
| Ink reappears after erasing. | Exposure to cold temperatures. | This is a characteristic of thermosensitive ink. Re-erase the ink by rubbing the eraser tip over it to generate heat. Store pens and written materials at room temperature. |
| Ink flow is inconsistent or stops. | Pen tip is dry; air bubble in ink; pen stored improperly. | Ensure the cap is always replaced when not in use. Gently shake the pen to dislodge any air bubbles. Try writing on a scrap piece of paper to restart ink flow. If the pen has been exposed to extreme heat, allow it to cool down before use. |
