FAQs

What type of tip does the STABILO FREE T300 have?

The STABILO FREE T300 features a 2-3mm medium bullet tip, which is suitable for both writing and drawing.

Can I use these markers on fabric?

The product information does not explicitly mention fabric compatibility. While it adheres to many surfaces, testing on a small, inconspicuous area of fabric is recommended before full application.

How do I achieve blending effects?

While the ink is still wet, you can use a wet brush or another marker to blend colors together. Once the ink dries, it becomes water-resistant and new layers can be applied over it.

Are the markers permanent once dry?

Once dry, the ink is highly opaque and lightfast, making it durable. However, it is not explicitly described as permanent in the same way as some industrial markers. For maximum durability, avoid excessive abrasion.

How many colors are available?

The STABILO FREE acrylic markers are available in 20 exciting colors.

What does it mean that the tip is reversible?

The tip can be removed and flipped to the other side. This is useful for maintaining a consistent ink flow or for creating different line widths or effects depending on how the tip is used.

How much recycled plastic is in the pens?

The pens are made from over 58% recycled plastics.

Troubleshooting

Marker not writing or ink flow is weak.

Ensure the marker has been shaken properly for at least 30 seconds. Press the tip down on a scrap surface to pump the ink. If the tip is dry, try re-priming.

Ink color appears faded or inconsistent.

Shake the marker again to ensure the pigment is fully mixed. The ink is highly opaque, so ensure the surface is clean and dry for best results.

Tip is dry and stiff.

Remove the tip if possible and soak it briefly in water. Reassemble and re-prime the marker. Ensure the cap is always replaced tightly after use.

Accidental marks on unintended surfaces.

For non-porous surfaces, try cleaning with a damp cloth or a mild household cleaner immediately. For porous surfaces, marks may be permanent. Test on an inconspicuous area first.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent adhesion on non-porous surfaces.
  • Ink is water-soluble when wet, enabling blending techniques.
  • Durable and lightfast ink ensures long-lasting results.
  • Environmentally conscious with significant recycled plastic content.
  • The reversible tip provides added value and application flexibility.

Cons

  • Requires priming before first use, which can take a moment.
  • Ink can stain porous surfaces permanently.
  • Tip may dry out if cap is left off for extended periods.
  • Satin finish might not be suitable for all desired aesthetic outcomes.
  • Priming process may be messy if not done carefully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Shake the closed pen vigorously for approximately 30 seconds to thoroughly mix the ink.
  2. Press the tip down onto a scrap piece of paper or suitable surface. You may need to pump the tip gently a few times to saturate it with ink and get the flow started.

Compatibility:

The STABILO FREE T300 is compatible with a wide array of non-porous and semi-porous surfaces including:

  • Paper
  • Cardboard
  • Canvas
  • Stone
  • Artificial leather
  • Glass
  • Metal
  • Plastic

Care:

  • Always ensure the cap is securely fastened after use to prevent the tip from drying out.
  • Store the marker horizontally to ensure even ink distribution.
  • Clean up any accidental marks promptly, especially from surfaces that may be sensitive to staining.
  • If the tip becomes clogged with dried ink, you may be able to revive it by gently cleaning it with a damp cloth or by re-priming the marker.
