Product Information

Our tradition pencils are particularly suitable for producing clean lines and textures, as well as differentiated tones from grey to black.

then we will only use functional and analytical cookies and you will continue to see random advertisements. In Japan, consumers tend to prefer softer darker leads; so an HB lead produced in Japan is generally softer and darker than an HB from European producers. It goes without saying that we not only guarantee improved handling with our Noris eco pencils, but also the same level of quality you can expect from all of our other products. Faber-Castell was the first manufacturer to introduce the environmentally-friendly water-based varnish technology, which is used for almost all writing instruments produced at the main factory in Stein. A "number 2 pencil" as we (in the US) are often told to use for filling out multiple choice answers on Scantron sheets, is right in the middle, the equivalent of "HB".

You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. These triangular pencils are made of synthetic resin, wood-free, chew-resistant and guaranteed splinter free. Like all BIC Evolution pencils, their ultra-strong lead is impact-resistant, easily sharpened and erasable. The red and black striped models from our traditional series offer comparable quality to our Noris pencils.

In this case, all materials required for the production of pencils are pressed together in the form of granules to form a sort of continuous pencil. These pencils feature our usual high degree of break-resistance and, thanks to their smooth gliding lead, enable a unique writing experience. The same scale of hardness is used in ISO standards (for example for the determination of film hardness of paints by pencil test; in this test method, calibrated pencils of known hardness are pushed over the film).Thanks to its non-slip grip, the Mars ergosoft jumbo pencil is ideal for children’s first writing exercises in primary school. though, the source of the lettering seems to be debatable according to Wikipedia - H stands for " Hardtmuth" (the surname of the owner of an art supply company) and B stands for "Budweis", the town the pencil company was relocated to but "hard" and "black" are probably more useful to remember. When the supply of natural graphite from Borrowdale ran short, the graphite was thinned down with other materials. There is nothing wrong with the pencil itself of course but I think that the photo should make it clear that it’s only one pencil.

Well, it all has to do with the HB graphite grading scale used to classify the pencil’s graphite core. It is therefore always ready for use – there is no better solution imaginable when it comes to drawing and making notes. As you can see in the image, the higher the H value, the lighter the result but the finer the point, while at the other end, the higher the B value, the darker the blackness of the graphite and wider the point. In Japan, consumers tend to prefer softer darker leads, so an HB lead produced in Japan is generally softer and darker than an HB from European producers. To complement our standard drawing pencils, which are characterised by lead with a silvery lustre, the Mars Lumograph black (available in six hardness grades) has a high proportion of carbon and is recommended for matt, jet black results.Finding what works best for your own artistic and writing needs is generally a matter of personal preference and experimentation with different brands of pencils.
