Pros & Cons:
Correction Pen is composed of solvents in order to avoid the complete thickening of the fluid inside the bottle over time. Such solvents may also include thinner or such substitutes as bromopropane which may be toxic. Modern Correction Pen is now being manufactured with organic solvents such as water-based, however this entails a longer drying time as well as incompatibility with some inks.
Correction Pen is liquid and requires waiting until it becomes solid before you may write over your covered error.
Correction Tape on the other hand is made of solid powder and covered with strong toughness, thus making it possible to re-write directly once applied without any need to wait.
