Troubleshooting

The sharpener blade may be dull; replace the sharpener or ensure you are not applying excessive pressure while twisting.
Colors appear faint or streaky
Ensure you are using a paper with a slightly toothy surface; extremely glossy paper may not grip the pigment effectively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Pencils are ready to use directly from the box. It is recommended to organize them by hue to streamline your workflow.
Compatibility: These pencils work best on medium-weight cartridge paper or smooth Bristol board. Using textured charcoal paper may result in uneven pigment deposit.
Care: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent the wooden casing from warping. Always use a high-quality hand-held sharpener to maintain the integrity of the wooden barrel and the internal lead.
