Why is Correction Tapes Better?

The Tombow Mono Air is the best correction tape. The JetPens team was immediately won over by how reliably it worked. With a light touch, you can put down correction tape exactly where you want it.

The color of its tape is also a winner: it’s white with a neutral undertone that makes it blend the best with popular papers like that of the Hobonichi Techo.

The Mono Air’s tip is protected by a hinged “cap” attached to the case that can be locked in place. It’s available in three tape widths, all of which can be refilled, and a variety of body colors.

The characteristic that affected tape writability the most in our tests was texture. If a tape applied without wrinkles, writing over it was no trouble.

Some tapes might apply evenly but not fully adhere to a page. In this case, smooth them down with a finger before writing over them.

Pen tips also affect results; needle-point and very fine pen tips may tear into a tape. Fountain pens are at especially high risk of gumming up.

The neutral tone of Kokuyo Campus Correction Tape is designed to match the pages of Kokuyo Campus paper products. You can see how well the correction tape blends into the paper here.

That said, this tape’s subtle color also blends into Maruman Mnemosyne and Moleskine notebooks.

Kokuyo Campus Correction Tape applied reliably, though it is a little more transparent than our other selections. Its built-in protective flap keeps it safe when traveling. It’s available in 5.5 mm and 6.5 mm sizes that fit just right in 6 mm and 7 mm rule respectively.

The Midori MD Correction Tape is designed to coordinate with Midori MD paper products. After testing, we can say it not only goes well on MD paper but also blends into other popular cream-colored papers like those in Leuchtturm Notebooks and the Hobonichi Techo Weeks.

Our JetPens team noticed that fountain pen inks don’t bead up and create thinner lines over MD Correction Tape. However—like with other correction tapes—it can be torn by sharp fountain pen nibs.

The Midori MD Correction Tape is not perfectly opaque, and the case’s symmetrical design means you may need to peer closely at its tip before putting it to paper. However, its versatile tone and reliable application make it our favorite cream correction tape.

The Tombow Mono Pocket Correction Tape takes up as much space in your pencil case as a block eraser. In pink, it even looks like one!

We were won over when we discovered its cap posts on the back of its rectangular body, making it easier to grip and reducing the odds of the cap disappearing. This tape also applies reliably, much like our top pick.

The Tombow Mono Pocket has a few trade-offs for its compact size, though. First, it includes four meters of tape, which is less than half of the amount in a standard correction tape. Secondly, it’s not refillable. If you make a lot of mistakes, you’ll have to replace the applicator often, which can feel like a waste.

The Pentel Correction Fluid Pen is available in a wide variety of tip sizes. We like the 1.0 mm tip size for a nice balance of precision and efficiency in correction.

The pen’s squeezable body means you can paint on as much correction fluid as you want; we didn’t notice blobbing or excess fluid, and it doesn’t drip if you squeeze while holding the tip away from the page. Its marks are easy to write over once they dry, too.
