Even if they are a bit pricey, (I pick up at least six boxes to get us through the year with the back to school sale prices) these light yellow pencils with the good quality erasers are really worth it.

]]> Comment on Tombow MONO Professional Drawing Pencils by Robert http://thewoodenpencil.com/2011/08/21/tombow-mono-drawing-pencils/#comment-2 Sat, 27 Aug 2011 07:50:25 +0000 http://thewoodenpencil.wordpress.com/?p=12#comment-2 Nice review.

A point that has been brought up a number of times is that the lead in the Mono Professional is not the same as that of the Mono 100. The Mono Professional is a repackaged Mono, which is the second-tier model. The confusion appears to have come from a mistake in Tombow USA’s marketing materials. Tombow Japan still makes both the Mono (which is sold by Tombow USA as the Mono Professional and is priced equivalently) and the Mono 100 (which is much more expensive). The marketing literature for the Mono 100 distinguishes its lead from that of the standard Mono (particle density of the latter being about 20% lower than that of the former).
