Ink Eraser

[krishnanramani]

Friends,

 

I was wondering if there are any effective erasers for deleting the mistakes made using fountain pens. When I was a kid I will have round Eraser which will clean the same.

 

Can anyone advise on the same.

[whych]

Haven't seen one of those for years.

I think the advent of correction fluid killed the ink eraser and most of them are now the plastic type for pencil.

[twdpens]

Chemicals have taken over. Lamy, Berol and Pilot (amongst others) make ink eraser fibre-tips that are designed to work on washable blue inks. The opposite end of such pens has another pen (usually hard fibre tip) that can write over the corrected region.

I have one in my drawer, issued at work, Mikado make, white part for pencil and grey part for ink.

For washable blue inks, I use Schneider Corry Ink Eradicator.

 

I also have an eraser from Staedtler of the type that Hari mentions above.

I will try to find the same on local stationery stores.

 

Actually it struck me today afternoon, when I made a small mistake with my writing & was searching for something to erase & I found out only whitener

I have used one these earlier. But I am unable to write on the portion where it has been used.

 

From where you got this friend?

You're right, you can't write over the erased area with ink. However, you could use the felt tip pen within the Corry on the other end to overwrite just that part.

I bought it at WilliamPenn in Bangalore, IIRC.

Pelikan makes a 'Pirate' which is the same as the others shown for washable blue inks.

 

White out lightly, a fine pointed ball point over it.

That justifies having a ball point.

I got 2 different ink erasers from local stationery shop. One of them worked, but it reduces the quality of paper in tht portion n it bleeds whn I try to overwrite in that area. One of friend's bro said he wil give one good eraser since he uses it for his record notes itseems...

I got a couple of eraser pens for washable ink from my local paper shop.

 

I've seen similar pens on Amazon.

Thanks for the information Friend. But unfortunately Amazon doesn't ship to India

I use a Swann Morton No.10A scalpel blade to erase mistakes. Scraped VERY lightly and gently over the part you want to erase, you remove the ink and the top surface of the paper, then burnish the paper with the back of a finger nail, or a burnisher. If you need to write over the erased part, do so very lighly, because having removed the top surface of the paper, you then have a more absorbent surface. I find this gives a better result than using an ink eraser.

I was taught this trick many years ago by my brother-in-law, who was a commercial artist.

Thanks for this suggestion Friend

 

In fact I also know this technique since I am an artist too . We use this for crayon stains & also for oil pastels, whenever we do any mistake. But I have never tried this for Erasing ink content. I guess it will be a good chance to try. I dont have a scalpel blade, since we generally use for straight razor.

 

I will try this soon

In the below photos its clear that orange Mikado Eraser is better than the blue one

Try to find the white and grey Mikado. The blade suggestion made above is a good one and the only one acceptable during our days to correct engg drawings made with India ink.

[RJJ]

I remember my spouse using the razor blade to remove ink from typed pages, especially carbons.

Is the below one you were referring to? I got it today in a local stationery shop. It was 10 Rs each.

I don't know if they are still made but I use to use an Koh-I-Noor Imbibed eraser to remove ink from film, tracing paper and vellum. This was in the "ancient" hand drafting days. I probably have a few stored away somewhere.

Ramani, here is a good source for the pelikan erasers:
