Eraser Milan 1220 rubber for charcoal and graphite model 381844

Milan 1220 rubber for charcoal and graphite model 381844 is a soft precision eraser designed to remove charcoal and graphite marks from drawing paper and sketchbooks. Its composition balances effective pigment lift with gentle surface contact to minimise abrasion and reduce the risk of tearing or damaging paper fibers. The eraser is intended for fine corrections, blended area cleaning and preserving paper texture while improving clarity of drawings.

Advantages

The Milan 1220 eraser combines a soft, pliable material with a defined edge that enables targeted removal of dark strokes while leaving surrounding areas intact. Its formulation reduces smudging during erasure and produces minimal residue, making it easier to clean up without leaving hard-to-brush crumbs. The eraser is compatible with a range of drawing papers and sketchbooks and supports repeated small corrections without heavy wear on the substrate.

Suitable for

• Removing charcoal lines and smudges from sketch paper
• Correcting graphite pencil marks in detailed drawings
• Cleaning blended areas and refining highlights
• Use by artists, art students and designers during sketching and illustration

Key specifications

• Material: soft polymer rubber suitable for charcoal and graphite
• Form: block-style eraser with defined edges for precision
• Surface compatibility: drawing paper and sketchbook sheets
• Residue behaviour: low-crumble formulation for easier cleaning
• Suitable techniques: targeted erasing, highlight refining, smudge reduction

How to use

Use the Milan 1220 eraser by applying light to moderate pressure and working gradually from the edges of the area to be corrected toward the centre to avoid creating hard lines or over-erasing. For fine details, use the edge or a corner of the eraser for more precise control. After erasing, gently brush away residue using a soft brush or clean cloth to preserve the paper surface. Test on a spare sheet if working on delicate or thin papers.

Usage recommendations

Store the eraser in a clean, dry place away from direct heat and dust. Replace or reshape edges by trimming if the eraser becomes rounded to maintain precision. For very delicate papers, use minimal pressure and consider lifting graphite gradually rather than attempting complete removal in a single pass.
