Pitt Graphite Matt: A revolution in graphite drawing! Graphite pencils have always produced a shimmering, shiny laydown. Depending on the preference of the creative person, this effect is either skillfully incorporated or is perceived as disturbing. The innovative Pitt Graphite Matt was specially developed to reduce light reflections on the paper and to create maximum depth effect by varying the different degrees of hardness.
Castell 9000: Castell 9000 - a genuinely classic pencil - was launched by Count Alexander von Faber-Castell in 1905. Its quality and finely graduated degrees of hardness have made it a firm favourite with artists and illustrators. Its lead is fully bonded with the wood surround and is therefore particularly break-resistant. The Castell 9000 is available in 16 different degrees of hardness, making it the ideal pencil for all technical and artistic applications.
