Fineliner pens Staedtler 326 C10 E1, ultra fine 1 mm tip, assorted colours, pack of 10

Staedtler 326 C10 E1 fineliner set contains 10 ultra-fine fibre-tip pens in assorted colours with an approximate 1.0 mm line width. Designed for precise writing, sketching and technical drawing, these multicolour fineliners provide consistent ink flow and clear lines. The set comes in a cardboard retail case and is suitable for school, office and creative use.

Advantages

The pens feature a stable, pressure-resistant tip that maintains a consistent line without excessive wear. Water-based ink with food colouring dyes meets relevant regulation and washes easily out of most textiles. The ventilated caps conform to safety standards and the DRY SAFE property allows pens to be left uncapped for days without drying up. The polypropylene barrel is made of 97% recycled plastic, contributing to long service life.

Suitable for

• Precise handwriting and note-taking
• Technical sketches and detailed drawings
• Colour-coding documents and planners
• School projects and classroom use
• Light illustration and ink-based colouring

When it may not be suitable

These fineliners have an approximate 1.0 mm line width, so they are not suitable when extremely fine lines (e.g., 0.1–0.5 mm) or calligraphy nibs are required. They are water-based pens and therefore not suitable for use on oily, non-absorbent surfaces or for archival documents where pigment-based, permanent inks are needed.

How to use

Remove the cap and hold the fineliner at a comfortable writing angle to apply even pressure for consistent ink flow. Use light, steady strokes for fine lines and reduced pressure for slightly thinner marks. After use, replace the cap to preserve tip condition; however, the DRY SAFE feature allows temporary uncapped storage without immediate drying. For best results on paper, test on a corner to check bleed-through on thin sheets.

What to consider before purchase

• Line width approx. 1.0 mm—ensure it matches your required level of fineness
• Water-based ink—suitable for most paper but not for oily or non-absorbent surfaces
• Pack of 10 assorted colours—check that the colour selection fits your needs
• Not pigment-based—may not be archival or fully lightfast for long-term preservation

Usage recommendations

Store pens horizontally to help maintain even ink distribution. Replace caps after use to protect tip integrity; for classroom or frequent use, consider keeping spare pens to avoid interruptions. Test the pens on the intended paper type to assess bleed-through and drying time before starting a large project.
