An exciting new innovation in artist materials, Faber-Castell presents the extremely matte graphite pencil of supreme artists' quality - The Pitt Graphite Matte Pencil. Unlike other graphite pencils that create a luster when applied heavily, these pencils offer an ultra-matte graphite laydown for reduced reflection on paper. They have the highest tonal value density for maximum depth effects. With a smooth graphite laydown, they are ideal for writing, drawing and sketching. They are especially suitable for monochrome graphite work. The pencils are coated with environmentally-friendly water-based varnish. The break-resistant leads are guaranteed easy to sharpen. The set includes 3 pencils with the 14B being a world first! The white eraser is PVC-free and the single hole metal sharpener contains a high-grade sharpening blade.
