Draft Line Mechanical Pencils

Is very smooth and the pencils glides very quickly.

Really let’s me know what rooms need more insulation/drapes and draft stoppers.

I have made over 20 projects with this and am just now on my second spool. Even in draft mode this plastic looks great.

I use this mount above my drafting desk so my tablet does not get in the way while I draft. So this works pretty well for me.

Very simple to sync. Just as good as other top rated pencils.

Very satisfied with the quality of Brother's high-yield toner cartridge. I maximized yield by changing the default settings to draft and to conserve toner. So far, I've printed about 3400 pages and still have 10% of the toner left. So everyone: change your settings to conserve toner and print draft copies (which still look perfect to me).

This is a great little printer. It only does one thing and it does that very very well. Monochrome printer. It's fast, prints on one or both sides, allows for draft printing to save toner. It's easy to set up and it will connect to wifi with ease. Couldn't ask for more.

Weighted - solid - easy to find in our drawer of crayons, markers, pens, pencils, etc.!

The best mechanical hard drive I had ever used.

I purchased both the 10mm and 11mm Artisans and found the 11mm definitely sharper when comparing lettering at 400% on a calendar in a room shot, however at 4 inches the 10mm was amazing. Purely by accident while shooting tests with the 10mm with the Lumix S1r I focused the camera on a pad of paper I had written notes on in pencil. Along side of the pad were 8 or so new Dixon pencils with gold stamped lettering all sitting on a dining room table cluttered with computers etc. At f8 with the lens so close the background dropped beautifully, but what astounded me was the detail of the lead pencil writing on the paper the the gold leaf stamping on the pencils. Photo had Color, contrast and even a bit of micro detail in the paper texture and writing. Based on this and other tests, this is a great lens for very closeup experimental work. Colors are accurate and vibrant. Lens is seemingly well corrected for this type of work with Capture one correcting purple fringes. For room shots and sharpness stick with 11mm unless you need the extra angle.
