This listing is for one dozen (12) pencils. Depending on my inventory, these may not come boxed.
I spent a lot of time researching a satisfactory replacement for the trusty Dixon Tru/Color Vis-Aid pencils that we used for many years. The pencils were labeled Tru/Color Film Marker Black 2225, while the box says Vis-Aid Film Marker Pencils 12225. I have some Dixons for sale in one of my other auctions.
I like these pencils better than the Dixons. They make a fine, dark line. They are slightly softer and need a lighter touch, but they won't damage the film like the Dixons did if you used a too-sharp point. I wrote about these pencils and other contenders in an article called "For Doctors: Dixon X-ray Pencils Discontinued."
For a while, NUCCA was recommending a pencil by Steadtler. Don't waste your money on those. They are more like a woodcased china marker. Too soft for accurate marking.
I've given these to some Dentist friends who love them.
These write on X-rays, glass, plastic, wood, and metal. Woodcarvers will also use these.
