Will the tips of the prismacolor premier soft core pencils get damaged in this case? would the tips push against material?

You do have to be careful. I have broken a few sharp points but it's been because I've been careless... I do love the case

I keep the same pencils in mine and have not had a single issue with breaking or rubbing against the material. I highly recommend getting this case. Once you organize it the pencils are super simple to locate

if the pencils are carefully placed, there is enough room for even the newest not to rub or break, definitely a well made usable case

I haven't broken a single tip since I purchased them 3 months ago and I use them almost everyday. I do sharpen them up every once in a while if I'm detailing.

No, the pencils come with a plastic sleeve that protects from rubbing. Even without the sleeve, the color doesn't transfer easily to skin or clothing.

I lay the board down when drawing on it, then lift it into place when finished. I have never had an issue with it running, but I can see where if you kept mashing the tip all the way while using it that would happen. Ideally you push down once or twice to load the tip then write or draw, pushing again only as needed. It takes a minute to get the technique down, but it is quick and easy and the end result looks great! I even let the students use them without any problems.

Absolutely. I use an array of pencils from Prismacolor/Faber-Castell/Fantasia and the sharpener works well. This by far, has been the best one.

Probably not, the holes are round so it won't unless triangular pencils are smaller in diameter than corresponding round pencils.

Yes the tip can break off somewhat easily. The highest quality sharpener I have used is by shiseido. Hope this helps.

Prismacolor pencils will leave a waxy residue left over that will have to be blown away, its not powdery though. I would suggest a harder pencil that will not leave much residue at all like tombow or faber castell, essentially you will have to eliminate from trial and error for yourself.

Depends on the tips you put on them. Rubber tips are softer than carbide points

Actually the tip broke off the first time I used this set. This set is not made well at all. Hope this helps.

A very sharp point will break with a very heavy hand but otherwise I press pretty hard and the pencil does fine. I love 'em!

I like the top entry for colored pencils. It puts less stress on the inner wax layer and lessons the likelihood of breakage. For regular graphite pencils - it probably wouldn't make any difference.

I don't know about Prismacolor pencils directly, but it works for all of my other wooded pencils quite well. I do also have some solid color pencils as well, but it seems to go through those a bit quick. I use my smaller handheld sharpeners for more control over that aspect so I don't wear down my solid color pencils as quickly. In either case, the device is really nice and the fact that it's portable is a real help. I noticed last week there was even one in my painting class and everyone there uses it for the sketch class which overlaps the painting class. Hope that helps.

These tips are not reinforced, but IMO do not need to be. I have used them exclusively for over 5 years of Nordic walking, and none of the many pairs I have worn out have ever shown interior damage due to a carbide tip stabbing or poking through. Thanks to the snug opening on the walking feet, carbide tips grab tightly and "free float" inside, touching nothing.

I did some research for you on their website. It seems that the Soft Core Pencils come at a maximum of 150ct set. Now, is this the entire line? I want to guess yes for this reason alone. I do know that my local art stores sell single pencils and that I can always find a replacement. Check out: http://www.prismacolor.com/products/colored-pencils/softcore-lead

Since I don't have this problem, I would suggest that you be very careful. The points are sharp and should be used with caution.

Dear Cecilia, I use the "Premier" when I am sketching in a coffee shop, but at home, I just stick any of my pencils into my Panasonic motorized sharpener without any problems.
