Product Information

Full details

The Stabilo Boss Original Chisel Tip Highlighters, a pack of 4, are designed for students, professionals, and anyone needing to mark important text. Their key benefit is the versatile chisel tip that allows for both broad highlighting and fine underlining, combined with a generous writing length and anti-dry out technology. A minor caveat is the water-based ink, which may not be ideal for very glossy or non-absorbent surfaces.

FAQs

What type of ink is used in these highlighters?

These highlighters use a universal, water-based ink.

How long can I leave the cap off before the highlighter dries out?

The Stabilo Boss Original highlighters feature anti-dry out ink technology, allowing them to be left uncapped for up to 4 hours.

What are the line widths of the chisel tip?

The chisel tip can create a broad highlight of approximately 5mm and a fine underline of approximately 2mm.

Are the colors fade-resistant?

The ink is designed for highlighting and general use. While durable for typical applications, they are not specifically rated for archival or extreme lightfastness.

Can I use these on photocopies or thermal paper?

They are designed for most paper types. However, performance on specialized surfaces like glossy prints, photocopies, or thermal paper can vary and may result in smudging or poor adhesion.

What is the writing length of each highlighter?

Each highlighter in the pack has a writing length of 375 meters.

How should I store the highlighters?

It is recommended to store the highlighters horizontally or with the tip facing downwards to ensure optimal ink flow.

Troubleshooting

Highlighter not marking or faint lines

Ensure the cap was properly replaced. Check if the highlighter has been left uncapped for an extended period beyond the 4-hour anti-dry out limit. If ink flow is slow, try storing the highlighter tip-down for a few hours.

Ink bleeding through the paper

This is more common with very thin paper types. Try using a thicker paper or placing a spare sheet of paper underneath the page you are highlighting.

Tip feels rough or damaged

Avoid pressing too hard on the paper. If the tip is damaged, it may be difficult to achieve clean lines. Ensure you are using the highlighter on appropriate paper surfaces.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile chisel tip for highlighting and underlining.
  • Long writing length provides excellent value.
  • Anti-dry out feature increases usability.
  • Assorted colors aid in organization and emphasis.
  • Works well on most standard paper types.

Cons

  • Ink may bleed on very thin paper.
  • Water-based ink might not be permanent or waterproof.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These highlighters require no setup. Simply remove the cap and begin using.

Compatibility:

  • Paper Types: Best suited for standard paper, notebook paper, and most uncoated documents. Performance may vary on glossy, coated, or specialty papers.
  • Ink: Water-based ink is compatible with most paper types but is not waterproof or archival.

Care:

  • Storage: Store highlighters horizontally or tip-down to ensure consistent ink flow.
  • Cap Usage: Always replace the cap firmly after use. The anti-dry out technology allows for up to 4 hours of uncapped use, but prolonged exposure without a cap can still impact longevity.
  • Cleaning: If the tip becomes dusty, gently wipe it with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid using liquids to clean the tip, as this can dilute the ink.
