>Pilot implemented a 10 per cent price increase for its Frixion pen two months ago, the first since it went on sale in 2006. Fumio Fujisaki, chief executive, said it was the first time during his 40 years at the company that it had raised the price of a best-selling item.


Frixion is an erasable gel pen. The G2 was not mentioned for price increase.
