Graphite glare disrupts photography and scanning, washing out tonal work you spent hours developing. Faber-Castell's Pitt Graphite Matt pencils eliminate that problem with specially formulated leads that produce rich, non-reflective marks. Your darkest values stay deep and readable under any lighting, whether you're photographing finished work or scanning sketches for digital processing.

The matte finish transforms how graphite behaves on paper. Traditional graphite creates a slight sheen that catches light at certain angles; these pencils deposit pigment that absorbs rather than reflects, maintaining consistent appearance across the value range. Eight degrees span HB through 14B, providing nuanced control from mid-tones through the deepest blacks achievable with dry media. Break-resistant cores withstand the pressure required for dense coverage, while lightfast pigments ensure your work won't fade over time.

Environmentally friendly varnish coating completes pencils built for serious drawing work. Whether you're rendering portraits that need to photograph cleanly or creating preparatory sketches for reproduction, the non-reflective quality keeps every mark visible exactly as you intended it.
