Following are some of our favourite STAEDTLER art pencil products:
Ergosoft Coloured Pencils
STAEDTLER’s ergosoft pencils are not only equipped with a truly innovative soft surface, but are also perfectly shaped - a triangular design ensures superb writing comfort and prevents fingers from slipping. ergosoft pencils feature Anti-Break-System (A-B-S), a unique, white protective coating that reinforces the lead core and increases break-resistance by up to 50%. The pencils comprise an especially soft and richly-coloured lead (3mm diameter) and are available in ‘stand up’ wallets of 12 or 24 coloured pencils which convert to convenient desk sets.
Ergosoft watercolour pencils comprise a unique watercolour lead for dry and wet blending and offer a wide range of creative possibilities when colouring - also with water and paintbrush. These pencils are ultra-versatile and suitable for working with mixed mediums. Available in wallets of assorted colours of 12 or 24.
Mars ® Lumograph ® – sketching pencils
A premium-quality art pencil for writing, drawing and sketching on paper and matt drafting film, the Mars Lumograph is ideal for artists, graphic designers and illustrators. The pencil is particularly break resistant thanks to super-bonded lead and lines produce well.
The Mars Lumograph is available in tins of 6, 12 or 19 pencils in assorted degrees, a cardboard box of 6 degrees (that includes a free Mars plastic eraser and metal single-hole sharpener) and also as individual degrees in 12-piece boxes.
WOPEX (Wood Pencil Extrusion)
The first pencil made out of WOPEX, the award-winning** innovative natural fibre material developed by STAEDTLER made from 70 per cent wood and natural fibre. Comprising excellent lead stability and break-resistance, WOPEX pencils are top quality for writing, drawing and sketching.
Perfect in application with a non-slip velvet soft surface, the homogeneous 2.3mm lead glides smoothly across the paper, ultimately providing superb writing comfort with smooth and even sharpening experienced through the consistent WOPEX material.
The advanced WOPEX pencil provides the foundation for a new generation of wood-cased pencil manufacturing at STAEDTLER. With significantly higher utilisation of wood from each tree WOPEX is produced with PEFC wood from certified sustainably managed forests
