Why is it not recommended to use the Faber-Castell PITT Artist Pens on fabric?

The PITT Artist Pens are comprised of India Inks which are permanent and light-fast.  The permanency and light-fastness are tested on paper.  They are not tested on fabrics.  If the pen is used on fabric it should be displayed as an art piece and not washed.  Due to the nature of fabrics washing may cause the inks to fade.

The description for Faber-Castell wood-cased pencils say SV Bonded and my Faber-Castell pencil says SV on it. What does SV stand for?

SV stands for the German word "Sekuralverfahren" meaning secural bonding or (secure-all bonding). The SV Bonding is a process of gluing the lead to the wood on both sides and the full length of the pencil. This results in strengthening the lead to prevent breakage, provides for better sharpening, which produces a fine point. All Faber-Castell pencils are SV Bonded. SV Bonding is a Faber-Castell trademark.

What kinds of Charcoal does Faber-Castell offer?

Charcoal is one of the oldest drawing materials known to mankind.  Faber-Castell produces two types of charcoal:

Natural charcoal made by carbonizing resin-free twigs under exclusion of air.  It leaves a bluish mark which is easily wiped and corrected.  Natural charcoal pencils are available in soft, medium and hard.

Compressed charcoal, produced from soot and clay.  This is the blackest drawing material that can be produced.  Compressed charcoal sticks are available in extra soft, soft and medium.
