ink eraser

Removes permanent marks

An ink eraser is a tool for removing ink marks from paper.

Traditional ink erasers use a gritty rubber compound that abrades the paper surface, lifting ink with it.

Chemical ink erasers use bleaching agents to dissolve or decolorize ink: She used an ink eraser to correct the entry in the ledger.

The term also applies to digital tools that remove ink strokes in drawing applications.
