Where did the idea to develop a matte graphite pencil come from?

In art, optimal presentation of artworks is important, whether physically in an exhibition or digitally on art websites and platforms. Exposure to light is a recurring challenge. In adverse lighting conditions, reflections from the light can obliterate details of the work. This can also happen when digitizing designs for the web (eg photographing or scanning). This problem is now solved by Pitt Graphite Matts, which with their matte formula leave little or no room for light reflections.

What is the difference between Pitt Graphite Matt and regular pencils?

The Pitt Graphite Matt pencil has a matte finish and produces very little or no light reflection. This means that no details of the design are lost due to the reflection of light from any angle. Digitizing (photographing, scanning) without reflections also becomes easier.

Why aren't higher hardnesses (H-6H) available?

Light reflections are a problem in the art world. Monochrome graphite designs need a lot of contrast in gray and black tones. To create these different tones, the artist needs soft graphite. The softer the toner, the darker and blacker the result. Thus, the maximum depth effect can be created. This is not possible with hardnesses like H and harder.
