Mexico inscribed on Prismacolor Col-Erase:
The Prismacolor Col-Erase boast that they are perfect for illustrating and animating, that they have a strong medium lead and erase with ease. And here I put the Carmin Red to the test. I made marks on
1. Winsor & Newton Cartridge Sketch Pad, 110gsm and on
2. Daler Cartridge Pad, 130gsm.
I used
1. Winsor & Newton Griffin eraser
2. Derwent eraser
3. the pencil's own eraser.

And now erased with its own eraser:
Shouldn't one expect complete erasure from a Col-Erase? Or am I asking for too much?
As I have mentioned before the pencil came with a bar code label stuck to it like there was no tomorrow. An anonymous reader has suggested erasing the sticky stuff off. It worked!
Prismacolor have got a wonderful website. Check out Col-Erase and all the rest of their products there and maybe leave your own sketch behind.
Erasing those squares by diagonals and quarters is a very effective demonstration technique.
ReplyDeleteAgreed - something called Col-Erase should erase better than that.
Thank you Kiwi-d. They should be called Col-Almost-Erase.
