12 X-ray Marking Pencil

This listing is for on dozen (12) pencils. Depending on what I have in stock, they may not come in a box.

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 got too sharp of a point. I wrote about these pencils as well as other contenders in an article called "For Doctors: Dixon X-ray Pencils Discontinued."

For a while, NUCCA was recommending a pencil by Staedtler. Don't waste your money on those. They are more like a wood cased china marker. Too soft for accurate marking.

I've given these to some Dentist friends who loves them.

These write on x-ray, glass, plastic, wood and metal. Wood carvers will also use these.

I will combine shipping with other purchases.
