In subsequent years, the range was expanded with new models such as the [[Artus Rekord]], [[Artus Perfect|Perfect]], [[Artus Favorit|Favorit]], [[Artus Ballit|Ballit]], [[Artus Schulüller|Schulüller]], [[Artus Prinz|Prinz]], [[Artus Junior|Junior]]. The [[Artus]] concentrated in manufacturing economic and functional pens, with a focus on the student market; it also was capable to range over the whole field of the writing instruments.
