Sailor Que Será Ballpoint Pen - 0.8mm

Sailor Que Será Ballpoint Pen - 0.8mm

Sailor released a new concept in erasable writing with its innovative “peel and erase” ink, redefining the conventional idea of erasability. This pen is equipped with Que Será ink, which derives its name from Japanese term 消せる (keseru), meaning erasable. This ink, which was developed with PLUS and Pentel, lets you peel away mistakes cleanly using a special eraser and write again with ease. 

Formulated with large pigment particles and low viscosity, the ink maintains the colors and smooth writing feel of traditional pigment ink. Rather than erasing due to heat from friction, it is physically erasable much like graphite. This ensures that your notes stay in-tact in different temperatures. The 0.8mm tip delivers bold lines with excellent ink flow, while the water-based pigment ink is water-resistant and lightfast, keeping your writing vibrant over time. Since it will not fade unless intentionally peeled off, it is great for notes and records you want to preserve.

About Sailor:

Sailor was founded in 1911. The founder Kyugoro Sakata was given a fountain pen by a friend returning from the UK after studying at the Royal Navy. He was inspired and determined to start making fountain pens in Japan. Sailor became the first fountain pen company in Japan, and earned many more firsts in Japan -- first ballpoint pen in 1948, first ink cartridge in 1954 and first brush pen in 1972, etc.

In the 1970's, Sailor made a popular beginner fountain pen, "Candy," that sold more than 15 million within a few years. However, the number of the fountain pen users were declining as ballpoint pens became more mainstream.

In 1981, Sailor decided to go in the opposite direction from their "Candy" pen and began focusing on producing a higher standard series, which is the 1911 series we see today. Their focus on making a higher standard provides a great foundation for their later series of pens. Today, Sailor makes one of the most diverse lines of nibs, some of which are designed for specific writing purposes such as writing musical notes to one that is best for character writing.
