Can you write on it with a #2 pencil and have good results?

I tried it and it doesn't work well at all. I would not recommend using it for that purpose. It works well if using a marker or an ink pen but not a pencil. Go figure huh???

Pencil doesn't work at all. Ballpoint. Gel pens or fountain pens all work well. Inkjet and laser printers. This paper is tough to tear and when wet the ink does not bleed.

I have never tried a pencil. Regular pens will work as long as the paper doesn't get wet. If that happens, the ink will run, and count may be messed up. What I have found works best is Check Writing Ink Pens. They work really well, and you can get 8 or 9 for what you would pay for one waterproof pen. Also if the pen is dropped into the water, if doesn't hurt as badly as dropping the more expensive waterproof pen in (the voice of experience!)

No, not well. The pencil's marks are are faint at best, and rub off easily. Ball point pens and felt tip pens are best.

Yes, you can even use a standard ball point pen. However, the sharper the point or the harder you press, a deeper impression is left. So, if you don't press too hard with the pencil, you can even erase your errors without leaving an impression. A ball point pen can make very deep impression and "stretch" the material, unless you press lightly and use something hard to press on.

Make sure you are using the right diameter lead. If it's still not working you have a defective pencil.

No its perfect for everyday writing until it jams. Be careful to only have 1-2 pieces of lead in it at a time.

The Blackwing 602 is a 2B lead, which is softer and darker than a #2. Would it work on a standardized test? probably. But they are not a #2 pencil so use at your own risk. For a number two you can't go wrong with a Dixon Ticonderoga. FYI when shopping a #2 lead in USA is equal to a HB lead internationally. You could call it the pencil lead metric system...

You will also need 2mm lead (there are a variety of hardnesses and colors available), a 2mm lead sharpener (lots of different styles, I reccomend the Kum Automatic Long point two stage sharpener - it sharpens 2mm lead and it has a two stage long point sharpener for pencils - excellent points), and you will need an eraser, paper, ruler, and etc. Most importantly you will need creativity and imagination! Have fun. I bought lots of these (different brands and colors) for a wide variety of lead hardnesses. This one feels more solid in comparison to some other brands but I have not yet come across any that are unsatisfactory.

You can write with it -- yes. It will take a little getting used to and I would not expect to use it as a replacement for pen and paper. But it works well enough for me.

Yes as long as you don't sharpen the pencil too sharp. It has to be dull to work

It says in the info that it is indeed a #2 pencil. I highly recommend these bad boys. Right out of the box these boys are ready to destroy anything you throw at them. In fact these pencils have increased my popularity, my teachers decide not to give me homework anymore and I don't have to do anything for these pencils do it all for me. Love em

Yes, though make sure you don't lose the extra nibs. I'm not a great artist and the skill is more important than the tablet (this is a pretty baseline one, I think).You can definitely draw with it.

My suggestion is buy another set of Aqua Notes(I have three more back ups), but I didn't use up half the first pencil-you must draw/write furiously, lol! I haven't been able to find just the pencil on its own. You want to send me a stamped, self-addressed envelope, I'll send you my extras.

I've used mine for that and it works okay, but I think that (despite the cost of special paper) the LiveScribe series does notes better. The inkling is better for sketching/drawing as the potential for a vector output is there.

Yes! Easily! I just went and tried it for you and it fits with extra room around the pencil. You could even use a thicker tool if you wanted. Not quite as big around as a Sharpee marker but larger than a #2 pencil. Hope that helps. :)

That depends on how hard you are pressing and what lead types you are using and your particular level of sharpness needed. I would sharpen once a day depending on the level of stress I was talking out on my writing! :) It is a great pencil though. The in cap sharpner is good, but it can get messy if you don't remember to dump it out.

Yes! (just tested), even though is is not 100% (smooth/shiny). To test it I grabbed some regular printing paper an wrote with pen/pencil and the very small (almost unnoticeable) crumbling of the surface did not pass through when writing.

You can write on it with pencil but it should only be applied over a thoroughly dry paint. Preferably water based. Charcoal works better. Or a soft pencil. You may need a few coats to keep pencil from breaking through surface and hitting the paint.

It works well enough I guess. The paper has enough grit to hold on to the ink but still smooth enough to let it flow like normal. Although lately I've been using a paper called Master's Touch Drawing pads but this one will get the job done pretty well. Good luck.

Yes you can write with it on as long as you don't grip your pencil using your palm.
