STABILOpoint 88 - Fineliner - Pack of 10 - Black

I discovered these pens during a training session at work where these were handed out to delegates, and immediately hunted them down.Comfort********These pens have a classic hexagonal shape which makes them very comfortable to hold. As they use a water-based ink with a little felt tip, you do not have to press very hard which is a problem I tend to have with ballpoint pens - I get a cramp in my hand. With these pens you can hold them lightly and still get great results. The only negative on the comfort side is that these pens are fairly thin, which my big, fat, clumsy hands can find frustrating occasionally. Overall this is a minor gripe, and it's still one of the more comfortable pens I've used of this type.Performance*************The Stabilo fine liner looks great on paper. Because of the ink that is used, signatures and letters almost look as if they were written by a quality fountain pen rather than a this relatively cheap instrument. The point on the pen seems to get slightly larger the more you use the pen, as the nib wears away at the angle at which you write. This further adds to the look of the writing which I quite like.Overall*******I think these pens are great; they write beautifully and are fun for sketching with too. This particular pen comes in a wide range of colours, and I think the full set will be added to my desk drawer in the not too distant future!

Good quality fineliner pens for writing or drawing.This is a pack of 10, STABILO point 88 pens with black, water soluble ink. I use these when making line and wash drawings which I feel will benefit from soft linework rather than the sometimes harsh appearance of lines made with waterproof ink. This ink can be smudged by the application of water which not only softens the lines it can also be used to shade in areas of a drawing. If however, you do not want your lines to smudge simply do not add water to them and allow the ink to dry naturally.Great value for money!

Bought before. Write beautifully. I love all the colours this brand do.

I was delighted at the arrival of these pens, and was upon first use impressed not only by there presentation and performance, but also with how greatly such a high-quality pen as this can affect the particular handwriting or indeed as you could say writing quality/appearance of the individual.They were well presented in a neat little container (of which i still retain to hold the pens) and for 10 of them, and at such a reasonable price for pens of such a well established and maintained reputation, i would strongly recommend that anyone seeking a pen for general, everyday home or school/college use should give these pens a go, and see firsthand just what difference a high-quality writing instrument can make.My only true slight dissatisfaction with this product is that it would seem that after a relatively short period of time (when i say relatively short i am implying a matter of a few weeks, even days with extensive use) the ink does in fact run somewhat dry, and so one must bring out another so as to endeavor to write with the same level of excellence as before.Nonetheless i was overall highly satisfied with my purchase and deeply pleased by the sheer writing experience that may be enjoyed through the products use, and indeed can be easily enjoyed by those willing to spend a few pounds on what i am, through experience and knowledge, inclined to believe is one of the best pens of its kind on the market, and perhaps indeed best of many kinds.

Very pleased with them. Thank you

I love these pens, they are brilliant

Brilliant colour just what I wanted

All good
