FAQs

How long do these pencils last?

Maped Infinity Colouring Pencils last up to 10 times longer than standard coloured pencils due to their all-lead construction.

Do I need a pencil sharpener?

No, you do not need a pencil sharpener. These pencils are designed to self-sharpen while colouring.

Are these pencils suitable for young children?

Yes, they are recommended for children aged 5+ due to their ergonomic design and ease of use.

How do I store the pencils?

Store the pencils in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.

Can I use these pencils on any paper?

Yes, they are compatible with most standard drawing surfaces, including paper, cardstock, and sketchbooks.

What happens if the lead breaks?

How do I clean the pencils?

Troubleshooting

Ensure the pencil is making contact with the paper. Apply even pressure and try a different angle. Check the surface for any debris that might prevent the pencil from making contact.

Pencil lead is breaking.

Avoid applying excessive pressure. Ensure the pencils are stored properly and not subjected to extreme temperatures.

Pencils are not self-sharpening.
