FAQs

What types of pencils can this eraser be used with?

This eraser is designed for use with graphite pencils and colored pencils.

Is the eraser safe to use?

Yes, the Caran d'Ache Design Eraser is phthalate-free, making it safe and non-toxic.

How do I maintain the eraser for best performance?

Keep the eraser covered when not in use and store it in a clean, dry place. Peel back the paper cover to expose a fresh surface as needed.

Can this eraser be used on ink?

No, this eraser is specifically formulated for graphite and colored pencils and is not suitable for removing ink.

What are the dimensions of the eraser?

The dimensions of the eraser are approximately 60 x 23 x 12mm.

What is the benefit of the paper cover?

The paper cover protects the eraser from dirt and dust, ensuring a clean surface for precise erasing. It can be peeled back as needed to reveal fresh material.

Does the eraser leave behind residue?

When used correctly on appropriate media, the eraser is designed to lift pencil marks cleanly with minimal residue. Some minor dust may be produced, which is normal for most erasers.

Troubleshooting

Eraser is smudging the pencil marks.

Ensure you are using a clean surface of the eraser. If the eraser appears dirty or worn, peel back the paper cover to expose a fresh section. Also, verify you are erasing graphite or colored pencil marks, as the eraser is optimized for these media.

Eraser is not removing marks effectively.

Apply gentle, consistent pressure. For heavily applied pencil marks, you may need to go over the area a few times. Ensure the eraser material itself is not overly worn down; peel back the paper cover to reveal more erasing surface.

Paper cover is difficult to peel.

Gently use a fingernail or a blunt edge to lift the corner of the paper cover. Avoid using sharp objects that could damage the eraser material underneath.
