Title: An Alternative to Chinagraph
Post by: Guest on November 16, 2003, 12:29:48 AM

Some month ago there was a discussion going on, on these pages about an alternative to Chinagraph pencils. I have recently found a solution. It is called an omnicrom pencil and is marketed by Steadler.

This pencil costs about £5, comes in a variety of colours, can be used to write on Plastic, Glass or metal. It is similar to a clutch pencil and the leads can be replaced costing £4 for a box of 12.   I don't know how much a box of chinagraphs cost but I'm sure if brigades want an alternative they can get them cheaper for bulk buys. :D
