DOUBLE ACTION AIRBRUSH
Refers to the method action required to control spray pattern. Pressing down on the button activates the amount of air flow and pulling back determines the amount of fluid released. This allows the user to change the width of line, color, and the opaqueness of color with one hand. Double Action models take more practice to use but are better for free hand detail work.
SINGLE ACTION AIRBRUSH
Unlike the double action where air and fluid controls are combined, these same controls are independent of each other with the single action airbrush. While one hand is releasing a pre-set amount of air by pressing down on the button, the other hand adjusts a separate control for color feed. Single action models are quick to learn and easy to use. They tend to be best for spraying solid coats, uniform lines or dots and stencil work. They clog less easily than the double action internal mix models and can spray slightly heavier paints.
INTERNAL MIX
Method in which air and paint are mixed inside the airbrush producing a fine spray.
EXTERNAL MIX
Method in which air and paint are mixed outside the airbrush producing a larger spray.
GRAVITY FEED
Gravity Feed models include all airbrushes that have material containers on top of the airbrush body.
SIPHON BOTTOM FEED
Siphon Feed models have material containers with connections at the bottom of the airbrush body.
SIPHON SIDE FEED
Siphon Side Feed models have material containers with connections at the left and right sides of the airbrush body.

Strathmore: The history of Strathmore Paper Company began on St. Patrick's Day in 1892 when its founder, Horace Moses, opened the Mittineague paper mill in West Springfield, MA. Soon after opening the first mill, Mr. Moses visited the Valley of Strathmore in Scotland. The thistle was in full bloom and the beauty of the site impressed Horace Moses so much that he started using the name and the thistle as a symbol of high quality art and printing papers.
The Strathmore brand name began to appear on our fine art papers in 1899, first with Charcoal and soon after with Bristol. The Strathmore brand quickly became known as one of the highest quality art papers used by many leading artists around the world. Strathmore has kept this reputation as a supplier of fine art paper for over a century. Today, we continue to provide artists of all levels with the ideal surface for producing beautiful works of art.
The symbol of the thistle may have taken on a different appearance throughout the years, but the quality of Strathmore Artist Papers has remained second to none. The choice of papers is one of the most important decisions an artist makes in determining the outcome of their work. Whether your choice of medium is watercolor, charcoal, pastel, pencil or pen and ink you can be confident that Strathmore will enhance your artistic efforts!
For lasting works of art, Strathmore is the artist's choice.

Precision & Quality Est. 1920
Why buy KUM ® Pencil Sharpeners?
1. KUM® sharpens better
1.1 The blade is hard.
• It is made of ultra-hard high-carbon steel, which can cut stone, since pencil leads are made of a mixture of graphite and various types of clay, some of which are often used as abrasives. The steel used in KUM blades has a carbon content of 62 hrc. more than ball bearings (55 hrc.), for example, or high-quality knives.
1.2 The blade is sharp.
• Each blade is razor-sharp. A felt sharpening wheel (similar to leather) is used as the last step in the automatic sharpening process. Note: stainless steel cannot be used because it cannot be sharpened that much.
1.3 The blade is held absolutely immovable. Otherwise, it would not cut at all.
• A screw holds the blade onto the sharpener’s body, even on the cheapest KUM® sharpener. If the blade comes the slightest bit loose, the sharpener is completely disabled. A screw holds much better than the rivet used by some other manufacturers. The screw is one of the (few) visible signs of a good sharpener.
• The blade is curved, not flat. Acting like a spring, it exerts constant upward pressure on the screw, which keeps the screw from loosening. Other manufacturers do not make curved blades.
1.4 The pencil is held with the right precision for the right cut.
• Precision metal sharpener body: it is made of magnesium alloy. Fine tolerances are needed by a sharpener in order to hold and shape a pencil point properly. Magnesium is hard enough to be worked with a milling machine at these tolerances. Some competitors use aluminum, which is too soft and malleable for this type of milling, although much cheaper than magnesium. Other competitors use a die-cast metal body, which cannot be made with as much precision.
• Precision plastic sharpener body: the injection mold is so accurate that it even allows for shrinkage of the plastic when it is ejected from the mold and cools.
• In order to reduce wobble while turning the pencil, the sharpening hole is prolonged by an extra sleeve just forward of the inner cone. While the pencil is turning, that sleeve holds the outer pencil case, adding to the support provided by the cone-shaped part of the hole. As a result, the pencil remains perpendicular at all times. If the pencil wobbles, the graphite tip meanders even more than the wood casing, according to the mechanics of leverage. Yet graphite is brittle, and tends to break off when not treated with great care.
Why buy KUM® Pencil Sharpeners?
Page 2/4
1.5 The pencil is easier to turn.
• The sharpener’s blade is curved, not flat. As it is cutting the pencil, it weaves slightly up and down, dynamically adapting to the fibrous structure of the wood instead of ripping straight through it. The cutting friction is reduced, and therefore the pencil is easier to turn. This happens because the blade, made of carbon steel, is tempered and therefore flexible; its curved shape causes it to act like a spring pressing up against the screw that holds it in place. The tension thus created gives the blade its dynamic characteristics. KUM® calls it the "Dynamic Torsion Action™".
• The cone-shaped inner surface of the sharpening hole is evenly rilled, reducing friction. This is particularly visible in our metal sharpener: there are tiny, even rills in the hole.
• Flexible plastic sharpener body: it flexes a little when pressure is applied, allowing the pencil to turn more easily. Why? Because it is made of virgin polystyrene (PS) granulate only.
1.6 [for KUM® Models #202, #S20A, #220A only] The pencil point is longer.
• The sharpener blade is set at a narrower angle, which produces a longer, sharper, and finer pencil point. The pencil does not have to be sharpened as frequently.
2. KUM® lasts longer
2.1. The sharpener’s blade lasts longer.
• The blade is made of high-carbon steel, which is very hard (see above), lasting for thousands of sharpenings on normal pencils. N.B.: constant sharpening of pencils grade 3H and harder does require replacing the blade from time to time.
• Rust protection of blade: high-carbon steel normally rusts quite easily, so three elaborate operations are used to protect every KUM® blade, 1) polishing, 2) ultra-sonic cleaning, 3) coating with oil. This protection lasts for years except in warm climates with high relative humidity, where minute rust dots can form after six months. A stainless steel blade cannot be used in a sharpener because it cannot be sharpened enough. Rust does not affect the performance of a sharpener, which is constantly used, since the sharpening action keeps the cutting edge clean.
2.2. The body of the sharpener lasts longer.
• Polished magnesium body of metal sharpeners: the polished surface resists corrosion. It also gives the sharpener a cleaner and shinier appearance, and a brighter metal coloring. Special machinery is used in the polishing process. For our KUM-INOX® brand only: after polishing, the sharpener’s magnesium body is coated with a special substance that stops corrosion for many years, even in an extremely humid climate.
• Virgin plastic granulate is used for the body of all KUM® plastic sharpeners. It does not crack as easily as re-used plastic, and therefore lasts longer.
• The sharpener’s blade can be replaced, since it is screw-mounted. Some KUM® sharpeners include spare blades. Spares are also available in convenient little cases from the factory.

Page 3/4
3. KUM® is attractive
• Polished metal parts give glossy, bright, and sophisticated look to all steel and magnesium components of KUM ® products.
• High-precision injection molds produce clean-cut, solid KUM ® "look" on all plastic components of the products.
• Quality color dye granulates are used in all plastic parts; KUM ® transparent colors are particularly impressive.
• High-quality silk-screening, Tampoflex, foil-printing and hot-stamping machines make snappy-looking decoration and/or promotional messages as desired, on almost any KUM ® product.
• Original artistic KUM ® decorative themes, some licensed, are featured on certain fancy sharpeners.
• The KUM ® product range, perhaps the world’s largest of hand-held pencil sharpeners, looks very appealing.
• The decorated KUM ® product lines, our so-called "Trend-lines", are renewed every year.
4. KUM® can be easily identified.
• Every sharpener blade is engraved with the KUM® logo.
• The KUM ® container sharpener looks different from the competition, be it the standard functional item or the fancy collector’s model. A KUM® distributor can build consumer awareness of KUM® quality in his market over a period of time, using a few, well chosen, models to catch the public eye.
5. KUM® Environmental manufacturing processes
• All manufacturing and waste disposal activities comply with the stringent requirements of the Federal Republic of Germany, the State of Bavaria, and the City of Erlangen regulatory agencies.
• KUM ® packaging complies with the German "Green Dot" cardboard recycling program.
• Non-toxic coloring granulates are used in manufacturing all plastic KUM ® components.
• All KUM ® blister cards feature blister hulls made of PET (polyethylene) instead of PVC.
• A new dry-painting process now produces KUM ® colored metal sharpeners. Once anodized, the new coating eliminated the use of a very toxic chemical product.
• New ultra-sonic blade cleaning and blade coating machines use almost no toxic compounds.
• Critical work areas in the factory have air-filtering equipment for the well being of the employees.

6. KUM® Quality Control
6.1 Items checked during production include, for example:
• Every sharpener blade is measured automatically during sharpening.
• Every sharpener blade edge is inspected for sharpness before assembly.
• KUM-INOX® brand only: Every pencil sharpener is tried by hand before packed.
6.2 The KUM® company policy: "We make everything ourselves".
• In-house design and machining of plastic injection molds: this allows absolute control over the dimensions of critical places such the "blade bed" and the cone-shaped hole of plastic sharpeners.
• In-house design and construction of all automatic and semi-automatic milling and assembly machines: this ensures that all metal and wooden products measure up to KUM® specifications.
• In-house manufacture of all the parts of our products, except for the screw holding down the sharpener blade, ensures that all parts fit together correctly.
