Pencils, pencils, pencils...

Hi all,

I've just been to my favourite art supply store, and have found out that the Staedtler Lumograph "EE" grade pencil has been discontinued.

The "EE"s have been replaced with the Staedtler Mars LUMOGRAPH 7B & 8B. These are just like the old EE. They are NOT graphite pencils. The more resemble the China Graph in texture, and produce a flat black line with NO sheen like graphite does.

NOTE: other brands of pencil also have 7B, 8B & 9B, but these are all graphite based. They will not produce a sheenless mark and are grey in colour.
