The pen-making process of Mitsubishi pencils was originally imported from France, and by the 20s of the last century, it had been sold to major countries and regions in the world, which also made Japan the second largest pencil manufacturing country after the United States. The invention of the fine-core resin lead core, the launch of the movable pencil, and later the launch of the Uni series of pens established Mitsubishi's position in the industry. But Mitsubishi Pencil has nothing to do with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Group, in the field of stationery, Mitsubishi Pencil has been famous enough in the world, and Mitsubishi Pencil has used "Uni" as the brand LOGO.
After World War II, Mitsubishi Pencil started anew, and successively launched two pencils, "9800" and "9000". "9800" as a complete series of drawing pencils, the pen making process is exquisite, using American cedar, there is a faint log fragrance, the pen body is moderately soft and hard, and the grip is comfortable. However, compared to other brands of pencils with the same level of lead concentration, such as the Mars Lumograph 100, the Mitsubishi Pencil 9800 is softer and darker. "9000" is a high-grade writing pencil launched on the basis of "9800", and the concentration of the lead core is naturally not as wide as that of 9800. At present, the best sales of Mitsubishi pencils are still 9800, with a unit price of 3 to 4 yuan, which is average among drawing pencils, and 9000 writing pencils are not sold on the official sales website.
After the launch of these two pencils, Mitsubishi Pencils put into production of "Uni" high-end series products, among which graphite pencils are mainly under the "Hi-Uni" brand. The reason why Hi-Uni is high-end is because of its lead core process, first of all, the hardness of the lead core, Hi-Uni is the only pencil that can be used to test the hardness of Japanese pencils, which can leave scratches on the surface of a variety of paints and even furniture and cars; The second is the process of lead core graphite, which uses a special combination of graphite particles of different thicknesses to make the toner strong, not easy to break, and very delicate to write. The Uni 1887 sketch pencil, which is very similar in appearance to Hi-Uni, is slightly inferior to Hi-Uni in terms of lead core technology, and the price is lower.
At the same time, Mitsubishi Pencil has also launched different series of graphite pencils for primary and secondary school students - Uni Palette and Uni Star. Both are to attract consumers to buy with a colorful appearance, but there is no difference between other products in the pen-making process, the price is higher than the 9800 drawing pencil, and the cost performance is average, so it is not recommended to buy. Comparatively speaking, the Uni 9852EW is more cost-effective, and uses a log without exterior lacquer barrel, if you have the habit of biting the nib, you can choose this series, and the price is relatively moderate.
When purchasing, it should be noted that Mitsubishi pencils have an official sales website in China, but the price is higher than those sold in Japan, and the product range is not complete.
