Product Information
Full details
The STABILO Pen 68 is a versatile, high-quality fibre-tip pen designed for artists, students, and professionals who demand vibrant color and consistent ink flow. It offers exceptional color brilliance and a robust 1mm tip that excels at both fine-line detail and filling in large areas. While it is perfect for everyday creative tasks and sketching, users should note that the water-based ink is not waterproof once dried, which is a consideration for those layering with mixed media.

FAQs
Can these pens be used with water for painting?
Yes, because the ink is water-based, you can apply the ink to paper and use a damp brush to create watercolour-style effects.
Are these pens permanent?
No, the ink is water-based and will react if exposed to water or moisture after application.
What is the line width of the Pen 68?
The robust medium tip provides a line width of approximately 1mm.
Are the inks toxic?
The pens feature an odourless, water-based ink formula and include an anti-suffocation cap for safety.
Where are these pens manufactured?
STABILO Pen 68 products are manufactured in Germany.
Troubleshooting
The pen feels dry or is not producing a solid line.
Store the pen with the nib facing downward for 30 minutes to allow ink to re-saturate the tip.
Ink is bleeding through the paper.
Ensure you are using heavier weight paper (160gsm+) or place a scrap sheet of paper underneath your work.
The tip has become frayed.
Use a lighter touch; the STABILO Pen 68 is designed for consistent flow and does not require heavy downward pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your STABILO Pen 68 set lasts, store the pens horizontally whenever possible; this prevents the ink from concentrating at one end of the nib. Always replace the cap firmly after each use until you hear a click, as the water-based ink can dry out if left exposed to air for extended periods. When using these pens for watercolour effects, choose high-quality watercolour or heavy-weight mixed-media paper (160gsm or higher) to avoid warping or bleed-through. If the nib appears slightly dried out, store the pen with the tip facing downward for a few hours to allow the ink to settle back into the fibre tip.
