Will it remove ball point ink stains without leaving a mark? Help please!

No. if the leather is not shinny, try aerosol hair spray on a q tip and rub a small area. Then condition leather after that. If the ink has been on the leather a long time, it may not come out.

Not well. I think it's a water-based ink. It is kind of splotchy on most plastic - and ....I just tried wetting my finger after it dried for 5 minutes and could easily wipe the ink off the plastic. Then I tried a red and a blue "Sharpie" brand permanent marker - the most common type of permanent felt tip marker pen - and couldn't remove the mark after it dried for a minute. However, the calligraphic pen is permanent on paper - and the pens stay good for years - sometimes even surviving when they are left uncapped for a while. And their chisel points keep a nice shape too. Makes average handwriting - like mine - look fantastic. enjoy, Roger L.

No, it doesn't remove pen or sharpie, in my experience using the product it just cleans dirt and prevents the leather from looking worn

Take the point and place ii in warm water with a bit of oil and leave it there for the night. Clean it next day fill your cartridge and turn the lever so the ink will flow to the point. From then on you should have no trouble.

It does good with light stains but pen marks require the ink removal kit, which does remove the ink well.

I have found it most useful in covering scratches and rejuvenating dry leather. It will remove recent stains if you can get right to them, but ink and older, darker stains have to be removed using an ink remover product. Hope this helps

It depends what kind of black stain it is... Item has been known to remove older chocolate stains on white shirts. About the pen mark on leather, I have seen reviews claiming the product has removed the marks and hasn't removed the marks. The good news is it will not damage leather so it is worth a try.

I had great results removing black ink from a tattoo. You have to kep it on long enough to cause a blister. Im really not sure how it would work for dark stains being that's probably more tissue damage. Ive heard laser treatments can work for that. For the price it wouldn't hurt to try I would say. Good luck.

Tested myself using everclear (95% ethenol), the ink falls right off the paper. A side note permanent marker was no better, maybe even a little worse.

Yes hold it on the stain and check it about every 5 minutes. You should see bubbles come up from around the tool. I found that I had to refresh the acid in it often. This Item worked great for me. I took out some large stains with it on a pool on my pool route. When you purchased the item it should of came with instructions. Follow the instructions. The stains I removed where on the bottom of the pool, some large and some small. It took about 3 hours to remove the stains.

It might help a little.... your best bet is to touch up the spots with actual stain. They also have stain pens, which might do the trick.

I tested mine with a sharpie pen and it started to smear. But it was fine with the sharpie marker... If that helps.

Hi thanks for your interest and question about our product. We have had customers who have been able to use our chalk markers on painted-on blackboards and they have been able to remove the ink, however just like all chalk marker manufacturers, we do not recommend this as painted surfaces are generally porous (meaning they have tiny absorbent holes in the surface). This means that they may absorb the ink and it will be difficult to remove. I would advise you to test a small area in the corner of the surface to see if it is able to be removed. One other option is to try and seal the area with a surface primer from your hardware store, as we have found that this can often help. Examples of unsuitable (porous) surfaces include plaster, cement, wood, painted surfaces that haven't been adequately sealed, wood etc. Examples of suitable (non-porous surfaces) include glass, mirrors, metal, slate chalkboards, stone, varnished wood, most whiteboards etc. I really hope this helps and please feel free to ask if you have any further queries.

With insurance - the words are such that they mean what is stated, even with what is written within the grey or purposeful absent areas. Since Ballpoint ink pen stains are not "Sharpie stains" I would say, no they do not cover it. You must be careful with insurance. If you received a Sharpie stain and then file a claim, I can hear them say "Ma'am..that coverage was only for ballpoint ink stains, therefore, we will not pay out the claim." So, what I would recommend? Call them to verify. :-)

I used a converter, but I've learn that this pen is not designed for converter, due to the complicated feed system at at the front of the pen, that ink will get trap in place that's not design to hold ink and thu might cause stain, I would recommend using a syringe to refill either your cartridge or converter.

I'm not quite sure what you're asking; however, I've found that one of the tricks to successfully using this refill ink is to not let the cartridge run out completely. The moment you notice that your printing is becoming streaky or faded, refill the cartridge. Another "trick" I do is to drill a small hole near the top front of the cartridge so that I can inject (with refill syringe) fresh ink without removing the cartridge from the printer. You may need to occasionally remove the cartridge to wipe the print head. I use a tissue and some rubbing alcohol for this. Don't know if this answers your question. Good luck.
