Fineliner pen Stabilo point 88 — classic hexagonal fine-tip marker, water-based ink, metal-clad 0.4 mm tip

Stabilo point 88 fineliner is a hexagonal fine-tip marker with a metal-clad 0.4 mm nib and water-based ink. Designed for precise writing, note-taking, technical drawing and color-coding, this compact fineliner provides a consistent 0.4 mm line width and reliable ink flow. The well-known orange-and-white striped hexagonal barrel offers a comfortable grip and prevents rolling, while the ventilated cap and durable metal tip support extended everyday use in office, school and creative environments.

Advantages

The metal-enclosed 0.4 mm tip gives long-lasting precision suitable for detailed work. Water-based ink dries quickly on paper and enables clear, sharp lines for handwriting, annotations and diagrams. The hexagonal striped design improves handling and prevents the pen from rolling off desks. A ventilated cap ensures safety and a long cap-off time preserves ink quality during normal use.

Suitable for

• Precise handwriting and note-taking
• Technical drawing and fine line sketches
• Color-coding, marking and organizing documents
• Use with rulers and stencils for straight, consistent lines

How to use

Hold the Stabilo point 88 at a comfortable angle and apply light, even pressure to produce a consistent 0.4 mm line. For straight lines, guide the tip along a ruler or stencil; the metal-clad tip resists wear when used with drafting aids. Replace the cap after use to maintain ink performance. Store horizontally or with the cap on to reduce drying risk.

Usage recommendations

Use the fineliner on standard paper or notebooks for best results; avoid prolonged contact with glossy or coated surfaces where water-based ink may smear. For technical drawing, pair with quality rulers and stencils. Keep the ventilated cap in place when not in use and store the pen away from extreme heat or direct sunlight.
