Greetings my fellow fountain pen lovers!

 

Is erasing ink an important issue for you guys?

If so, would you guys be interested in purchasing a product that can erase all inks from all surfaces including multicolored paper?

 

Thank you,

How well does that work with HoD? If it does then I definitely want some.

Those of us who have been around a while used ink eradicators decades ago for this, but they disappeared in the 70's or so. The Pirat eradicator is available, but it works with only a few inks (so I've heard).

 

Personally, I have no need for such a thing, as I want my writing to be permanent. If you were to sell such a product, you've got a lot of testing to do, as there are hundreds of inks on the market. And I would suspect it's going to be hard to remove some inks without damaging the paper.

I have my doubts about a product claiming to remove all inks from all papers without destroying the paper. Good luck with say Noodler's Black on newsprint. There are a variety of archival and fraud resistant inks available which were designed to be unerasable and resiste even using harsh chemical bleaches and solvents.

We would need a proof of concept, since many of us know that what you suggest is not possible.

With the new FPN rules, now I REALLY don't know what to put in my signature.

Fire? Napalm? C4?

They seem to work pretty well for most people.

All inks? I await the showdown between "bulletproof" cleaner and bulletproof ink. My money is Nathan. :thumbup:

 

 

 

Some of us pay extra for ink that can't be eradicated.

I am very keen to see a showdown between this product and a range of inks. In fact I will do it myself. As soon as the OP has arranged a supply of product to be sent to me for review, I will get a range of inks in different colours ready. I suppose every test will have to be done twice, when the ink is fresh and when it has dried for an hour.

In addition to bulletproof and invincible inks, I'd like to see how it handles a traditional high iron gall content ink. Something like the ink pharmacist is making.

 

Now if the product is something like liquid paper or correction tape which one could write over with fountain pen ink, that would be more interesting.

I do not like liquid paper, I want something that disappears the ink and lets me start again. There did used to be a product like that in Germany in the 1960s.

Hard to believe that such a thing could exist, in fact, I doubt that it could be possible.

 

The concept of ink erasers (most of them these days for Royal Blues) is based on chemical disoxidation. This can function properly, but unfortunately air has some O2. So, with time, ...

I was thinking of liquid paper or correcting tape because covering fraud resistant archival inks (i.e. bulletproof, invincible, iron gall, etc.) seems more plausible than erasing them. Now an eraser that worked for most, if not all, regular inks (but not the fraud resistant archival varieties) would still be a useful.

 

I just find the claim that an eraser could erase all inks, including the fraud resistant archival varieties, pretty hard to believe.

Which is naturally why I am keen to review this putative substance.

Yup. I think we're all eagerly awaiting samples to review...:)

Bleaching agents will turn Iron-Gall ink a faint beige.

Tucker's reagent will remove any and all bulletproof inks, but does so by removing the paper in the process...

Nothing will remove carbon particle pigment inks, because as far as I know, nothing will dissolve carbon particles.

 

If you were able to make a workable blend of Iron-Gall, Bulletproof and Carbon inks, I'd like to see something that could remove that without damaging the paper.

 

Of course, remembering that plain old water will remove any of the above inks before they have dried.

Not enough filled out his survey the first time and he lacks enough results to be statistically significant. This thread could just as well be titled "A cure to end all cancer."

Would Tucker's reagent destroy the paper any less thoroughly than fire? And fire would even burn the carbon pigment!

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
