New from FABER-CASTELL USA are the Castell 9000 Artist's Graphite Pencil Bag Set and the Polychromos Artist's Colored Pencil Bag Set. The Castell 9000 groups 12 grades of professional-quality graphite pencils that are break-resistant and have excellent point retention. The Polychromos Set comprises 12 of Faber-Castell's popular colored pencils, which feature high-quality pigments, smooth laydown, light-fastness, and are smudge-proof and water-resistant.

Both sets come with a vinyl eraser and stainless-steel sharpener. Also available is the Gold-Faber Studio line, which enhances the creative experience of students and aspiring artists with its products, which were developed to fit between Faber-Castell's line of children's art supplies and their professional artists' supplies.
