They are fun / nice-colors to use, but be aware that your writing can disappear over time. A friend has journals a few years old and on the right 2/3rds of the pages the writing is nearly gone (theory being maybe that side got warmer, but not certain)

I remember reading a story of a student who wrote an essay with one, which was erased because the teacher left their bag with the papers in a hot car while grading them.

Try putting the notebook in the refrigerator or freezer for a few minutes.

  This helped me when I was using them some years back during my university time. Managed to place some papers on a heater and the ink disappeared. Putting it in the freezer for a bit made it all come back.

  Unfortunately, this also brings back anything you deliberately erased, which might still render some writing unreadable!

That's a very fair warning. In a similar vein - I had recipes disappear from a notepad because it sat too close to the oven. Also printing on a paper that has something written on it with Frixion with cause these scribbles disappear without a trace. Extreme temperature sensitivity of Frixion is a very good rake.

  "printing on a paper that has something written on it with Frixion with cause these scribbles disappear without a trace" Presumably a laser printer, which heats the paper to fix the toner. Not sure an ink jet or dot matrix printer would do the same :)

  As others have already mentioned, the process is interestingly enough reversible (to some degree) by simply subjecting it to a colder environment like a freezer for a bit.

I was introduced to FriXion pens because I have a Rocketbook. I have a pack of colors. One day my daughter came out of my office with a nice drawing (she's 5...so it's more sentimental than artistic). My wife wanted me to laminate it...well...out came a blank piece of paper, except for the parts she used a regular pen.

  As others are saying, try putting it in the freezer.
