I am having a real hard time buying col erase in carmine red because Prismacolor and Sanford do not ship to the Netherlands. Sounds stupid, I know but that's the reality. I have tried amazon.com amazon.co.uk and amazon.de and no one ships to the Netherlands.<br /><br />I was wondering if you changed brand or if you have any recommendations for me.Christinahttp://kjherstin.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7596391.post-5814988804582636822011-12-13T22:02:55.184-08:002011-12-13T22:02:55.184-08:00Wow, nice post,there are many person searching abo...Wow, nice post,there are many person searching about that now they will find enough resources by your post.Thank you for sharing to us.Please one more post about that..price of viagrahttp://buyviagracheapmedicorder.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7596391.post-53758391556147990252011-05-27T16:59:51.685-07:002011-05-27T16:59:51.685-07:00Same deal with Ebony pencils.

It´s not that Prismacolor suck that bad.<BR/>In fact this has been a long and painful process: old Faber Castell were just awesome. Then Eberhard Faber took their place and were ... uh worse, but still usable. Sanford appeard to be hard to make worse and then Prismacolor came out. So keep your Prismaclour pencils, because something much worse will land. :(<BR/>Good old Faber Castell Col-erase.

I noticed the drop in quality from Sanford to Prismacolor about a year ago. It was my final year in Animation College and I was in the middle of creating a student film when all of a sudden these crappy prismacolor knock-offs starting hitting the market. It was quite hard to hunt down the good old Sanford versions of the col-erase pencils...ebay is still a good place to find them now and then......but I've adapted to the new prismacolor ones and for anyone who needs them still, you can find them at http://www.chromacolour.com/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12569154917743599128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7596391.post-1163628218209155422006-11-15T14:03:00.000-08:002006-11-15T14:03:00.000-08:00Oh God...I haven't noticed yet cause I still have ...Oh God...I haven't noticed yet cause I still have a box or two of Sanfords.
