In the 1930's Pelikan had already developed an ink bleach that could erase ink. In the beginning it was referred to as "Radierwasser" (Eng. Erasing water) or "Tintentod" (Eng. Ink death).
Ink eradicator: historical overview
Most people already know what a ink eradicator is, but who knows how they actually work?
In this edition of Teachers info we would like to give more information regarding our ink eradicators. After some historical information we will explain more about this Product in greater detail. We will also go into the subject matter of Pelikan's "Royal Blue" ink and ask ourselves if it is in anyway poisonous.
To finish of we will show how with both Pelikan's ink eradicators and Royal Blue ink, marvellous pictures can be created.
A historical overview
In the 1930's Pelikan had already developed an ink bleach that could erase ink. In the beginning it was referred to as "Radierwasser" (Eng. Erasing water) or "Tintentod" (Eng. Ink death).
In 1972 Pelikan created its first ink erasing pen called "Tintentiger" (Eng. Ink Tiger).
In 1974 the name was changed to "Tinten-Blitz" (Eng. Ink lightning). With this "Tinten-Blitz" one could erase Royal Blue ink and later write over the corrected area with a ballpoint pen.
In 1977 Pelikan released the "Pelikan-Super-Pirat". This pen had an incorporated erasing and correcting fluid in the one pen. This version is still being produced up to today and remains the most sold ink eradicator in Germany.
In the Spring of 2003 a new generation of ink eradicators was released. The Pelikan Superpirat is now available in two different tip sizes:
- B is for erasing whole words
- F is for erasing single letters
and the Pelikan Super Sheriff which has a multi-function tip for fine and broad erasing.
Each of the 3 Pelikan ink eradicators are available in 4 different colours.
