If a special gift is the order of the day, the EnerGel Philography pen is a premium retractable rollerball with a sophisticated satin finish metal barrel and chrome-plated trim, with metal pocket clip. A smooth operating twist mechanism advances and retracts the tip, to reduce the risk of a pen tip marking pockets. EnerGel ink is ultra-quick drying, which means there’s less risk of messy smudges on hands and paper – something appreciated especially by left-handed writers. Supplied with black EnerGel ink, the pen has a 0.7mm (medium) tip size and can be refilled in as many as 20 ink colours, (additional refills available separately). A choice of black, silver, dark blue, teal, warm silver, red, brown or white barrel colours is offered and the pen can be supplied in a gift box. Or, if it’s less about the giving and more about giving back, make a gesture to help Pentel support Prostate Cancer UK. For every special edition EnerGel Xm Retractable pen sold Pentel donates £0.25 to the charity. EnerGel Xm Retractable in this special edition has a white barrel with contrasting turquoise blue trim and is supplied with black ink in a 0.7mm (medium) line width. salesoffice@pentel.co.uk www.pentel.co.uk CRAFTER’S COMPANION Crafter’s Companion has introduced 12in x 12in Plaid Paper pads.
