Are Inktense pencils archival?

I would think so. They should be the same pigment as the other pencils, just more of it. But it needs to come from the company to be sure.

I've used mine for that and it works okay, but I think that (despite the cost of special paper) the LiveScribe series does notes better. The inkling is better for sketching/drawing as the potential for a vector output is there.

My sincere opinion is NO. ... for a simple reason. It is long (like the older drafting pencils) heavier and better for drafting and design. But I can recommend the old black Pentel automatic pencils. They are great. Better yet. ... price. I always have several handy for note taking.to me a pencil is a tool. As such that tool MUST deliver my demands OR. Why buy it. Hope this helps.

I had no trouble using it with inktense pencils, although I didn't use it heavily with them. However, my sharpener only lasted a short while before one of the little plastic gears on the inside cracked, rendering the entire sharpener useless. I'd say, go ahead, but be very gentle - don't ram them into the pencil sharpener. And "clean" it periodically by sharpening graphite pencils.

Hi! Here are some I recommend:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00890HPB0These are gold archival with a shelf life of up to 100 years.

The short answer is yes, most Noodlers inks are archival in quality. Heart of Darkness is a very good ink; deep color, easy flow, and very permanent. Some of Noodlers inks are forger resistant beyond the standards other companies claim; resisting many solvents and bleach. To determine for sure if Heart of Darkness is one of those you would need to visit http://noodlersink.com . I think this is one of the bulletproof inks they sell. My kids and I both enjoy this ink immensely for writing and art.

Yes, I store Copic Sketch and Copic Ciao markers in mine. It works great for both!

Mine have lasted a year so far. It is because it is only used a few seconds at a time with a pressure switch as opposed to a slide switch. It works really well for color pencil art. It allows for a very light touch.

Yes it is, or so it says on the cutting blade. I will add that this is a very nice sharpener for artist's quality colored pencils. I couldn't say how long the blade will last as I've not had it all that long. The only downside I can think of for this sharpener is that you need something to catch the shavings in.

Yes it does, but not as nice as their packaging used to be. My $80.00 pen & pencil set came in a cardboard box.jd

I still have the pencil and I bought it six months ago. It is in excellent condition except for the squishy grip. The grip has changed colour after long use.

Both are colored drawing pencils, but the BIG difference is the Inktense actually are "ink", meaning once the color dries it is permanent, unlike the watercolor types such as Prisma, which if you lay down a blue, let it dry and add a yellow they will softly blend and make greens depending on how much you work them because they are water soluble. Inktense will NOT react to water after they dry; so that blue you layed down will not "blend" or lift so it may stay very blue looking or look green where the blue shows "through" the yellow. Also the Inktense are brighter and more intense. Buy both, and use watercolor pencils where you want a softer look, and the inktense where you want intensity.

Just seems to me the erasers should be available where ever they sell the Uni Kuru Toga Roulette models. I haven't looked yet or tried to find them but the specs used to make the pencil, I would suspect to be the same. Now I am wondering also. Very annoying not to be able to replace your eraser when it wears down. VERY !!

Yes, each of the 48 pencils are labeled by their color and their product # such as PC####. These all sell separately to for $5.99 to $7.99 each!

The only place I've seen is Asel's art supplies. They sell the pencils, leads and erasers.

I am not sure, but the ones I got from Amazon were the best pencils I've written with in a long time.

No, these are just refills, but great ones. I purchased them after I exhausted the two that come with the pencil from Radio Shack Catalog#276-039.Though it is not an exact fit (somewhat loose) just put a small piece of tissue to seat it firmly in the holder and you will be just fine.I use it for cleaning HO, N and Z scale locomotive wheels and tracks (switch frogs) and they do a great job. Great product, made in Germany, so I definitely recommend it.
