Product Information
Full details
The STABILO Pen 68 Brush is a versatile, premium fibre-tip pen designed for artists of all levels, from beginners practicing modern calligraphy to advanced illustrators. Its primary benefit is the highly flexible brush tip, which allows for effortless control over line thickness, making it ideal for lettering, shading, and watercolor effects. A minor caveat is that for the best watercolor and blending results, users should pair these pens with high-quality watercolor or mixed-media paper rather than standard printer paper.

FAQs
Are these pens waterproof?
No, the STABILO Pen 68 Brush uses water-based ink, meaning it will react and smear when exposed to water.
Can I use these for children?
While the pens are safe, the brush tips are sensitive; they are best suited for older children or adults interested in calligraphy and art.
Do I need special paper for blending?
Using high-quality paper with a smooth, coated finish or watercolor paper will yield the best results and prevent the paper from tearing when wet.
How many colors are in the full collection?
There are 19 brilliant colors available in the STABILO Pen 68 Brush range.
Can I refill these pens?
No, these are disposable fibre-tip pens and cannot be refilled once the ink is depleted.
What is the best way to store them?
Horizontal storage is recommended to ensure the ink flows consistently to the tip on both ends.
Troubleshooting
Tip feels dry or is not producing consistent ink flow
Ensure the cap was closed properly and store the pen horizontally for a few hours to allow the ink to re-saturate the tip.
Ink bleeds through the paper
Switch to a heavier weight paper or one specifically designed for water-based markers or markers/calligraphy.
Brush tip has become frayed
Avoid pressing too hard during downstrokes; use the side of the brush rather than the very tip for broader strokes to preserve the point.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These pens require no special setup—simply remove the cap to begin. For optimal results, ensure you are using paper with a smooth, non-absorbent surface, such as high-quality marker paper or watercolor paper, to prevent the ink from feathering. Always recap the pens firmly when not in use to maintain longevity, although the 24-hour dry-out protection provides a buffer during intense work. Store your pens horizontally to ensure the ink remains evenly distributed in the fibre tip, and keep them away from direct sunlight to preserve the vibrancy of the pigments.
