Mitsubishi Mark Sheet HB Pencils - Set of 12

The Mitsubishi uni Mark Sheet pencil was designed for one specific purpose — producing marks that optical mark recognition scanners read accurately and consistently — and it turns out that optimising for that purpose produces a pencil that is genuinely exceptional for everyday writing too. The hi-density graphite formula is formulated to lay down a darker, shinier mark than a standard HB while maintaining the firmness that keeps a point through extended use without constant resharpening. The result is a pencil that sits somewhere between the approachable smoothness of a B and the point retention of an HB — a combination that is difficult to find in a single grade elsewhere.

The barrel is grey with white lettering and a distinctive colour block Mark Sheet label — a clean, minimal design that reflects the pencil's functional origins. A protective cap at the end keeps the tip safe when not in use. The pencil has earned a quiet following beyond the exam room: reviewers have noted that it produces some of the darkest, richest marks of any HB they have used, and that it compares favourably to far more expensive options. Hexagonal body, sold unsharpened, one dozen per box.
