Erasing fineliners mistakes

Is tippex the only way to remove fineliner mistakes? Also is there any particular brand artists prefer that defers from the normal office supplies brand tippex?

For corrections cartoonists use a medium called "white-out" Alot of people mistakenly claim tippex is a brand of white-out but it's not. It's not archival, nor very opaque, bleeds and isn't easy to re-ink over as it's made for ball point pens not brush/nibs.

White-out is a specialized guache for correcting ink drawings. There are a bunch of different brands of white-out but the two I've used are Deleter which you can get in A4 art supply [it's easily spotted among the Deleter inks as it's the only one in a white bottle] It's super opaque, easy to work with and, when applied correctly, very easy to re-ink over. Pro white is the other brand which is also good but I haven't seen it in art shops here. Alternatively invest in a good tube of white guache paint. White-out is much thicker then ink and can dry out and turn into a solid cake if your not careful.
