Pencils have always been their specialty and the Noris is certainly inspired by the company\u2019s graphite pencils which people around the world having been using for decades. STAEDTLER teamed with Wacom, the digital pen technology expert, to help merge tradition and innovation into a single product by incorporating Wacom\u2019s patented Electro-Magnetic Resonance (EMR) technology into the Noris.\u00a0 When used with the compatible, newly-released <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wacom.com\/en-us\/products\/pen-displays\/wacom-one\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wacom One<\/a> display, STAEDTLER\u2019s Noris digital emulates the feel of traditional media. \u201cI learned to draw using STAEDTLER 2B and HB pencils,\u201d says Jason Chatfield, renowned cartoonist and President of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalcartoonists.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">National Cartoonists Society<\/a>. \u201cUsing the Noris gives me an odd sense of familiarity; a nostalgia for when I was still figuring out how to draw.\u201d\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uM6MbHnWovg\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe>\n\nCompatible tablets with Wacom\u2019s digitizer technology provide power to the pencil through magnetic resonant coupling and no batteries or cords are required. As a result, the Noris digital never needs charging, unlike other digital pens. There are also virtually no consumables inside the pencil that will run down and need replacing, creating a long and virtually maintenance-free lifespan. Pencil tips can be replaced if needed. In addition, the pencil and digitizer communicate other vital information, such as pressure-sensitivity, tip orientation and on-screen location.\n\n\u201cAs someone who learned to draw traditionally and still works in a hybrid of digital and traditional, I'm a staunch advocate for any tech that honors the traditions of a craft without eschewing them altogether. The STAEDTLER Noris does this,\u201d continues Chatfield, who has been using the Wacom One pen display in his spare time for up-and-coming cartoonists.\n\nThis short video clip shows <a href=\"https:\/\/wacom.box.com\/s\/8aqnvwddl7purjo2kuqnlfa2rjrzoqmr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jason drawing with the Noris<\/a> digital pencil. \"I learned to draw using pencils and thin pens, so there is absolutely no alteration in my style when using this.
