FAQs
Can I use the STABILO Pen 68 with water to create paintings?
Yes, the ink is water-based and can be blended with a wet brush to create aquarelle/watercolor effects.
What is the tip width of the Pen 68?
The pen features a robust fibre tip with a 1mm line width.
Are these pens permanent?
The ink is water-based, meaning it is not permanent and can be reactivated with water, which is ideal for blending but not for archival waterproof applications.
Does this set include neon and pastel colors?
Yes, the set of 45 pens includes a variety of colors, featuring both neon and pastel shades within the assortment.
Should I store these vertically or horizontally?
It is recommended to store these pens horizontally to ensure consistent ink flow to the tip.
Troubleshooting
The pen tip appears dry after extended use.
Cap the pen and store it horizontally for 24 hours to allow the ink to redistribute to the tip.
Ink is bleeding through the paper.
Switch to a heavier-weight paper stock, ideally 120gsm or higher, to better handle water-based markers.
Tips are fraying after heavy use.
Check the surface material; rough or textured paper can degrade tips faster. Use smoother paper surfaces for longer tip life.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your STABILO Pen 68, always store the pens in a horizontal position to keep the ink flow balanced between the tip and the reservoir. When performing aquarelle techniques, ensure you are using high-quality heavy-weight paper or mixed-media pads to avoid buckling or excessive bleeding. Always replace the cap firmly until you hear a 'click' to maintain the integrity of the water-based ink. Keep the pens away from direct, high-intensity sunlight to prevent long-term color fading in finished artwork.
