point 88 - Fineliner - Pack of 10 - Assorted colors

These are some of the highest quality pens I have ever purchased for the sake of art. I am constantly looking for good ink pens to use for my artwork, but I am fairly picky about which type of pens I like, but do not want to pay too much for pens that I may hate using. The Stabilo 88 point pens are perfect for small details, fine lines and for coloring in the Adult Coloring/Relaxation Therapy books (some of the books have such small details, that super-fine pen tips are required for best result). This set of pens has a very fine point tip which is perfect for detailing. And the pack can be purchased at a reasonable price! Some people have claimed that they only get scratchy writing with these pens, but it helps to know how to properly use and write with them. Because the writing tip is encased in a long, hollow metal "pipe," the pen must be held more upright when using it. The more angled the pen becomes, the more the metal scratches on the paper instead of the actual tip from which the ink flows. The pack comes with a variety of shades to choose from, allowing the pens to be used for color coded writing (notes and life planners), for coloring, and for use in a wide range of art projects. The pigmentation of the ink is heavy, leaving excellent colors on the page. When used properly, the ink flows smoothly and consistently. Another great thing about these pens is that each color has a specific Art number that is used to purchase single pens (when the ink in one pen is completely used up, you can buy a replacement for that ONE pen instead of buying another 30 count set). Simply look up "Stabilo *insert art number (ex: 88/33)* pen" and buy the same color pen that no longer works. My choice to buy these pens has been one of the best art decisions I have ever made! Great multifunctioning pens, large variety of colors, fair pricing, and easy replacement make this product worthy of purchasing and then recommending!! (The photos are so you can see the Art Number and then a recent line & detail free-hand work I recently used these pens to complete).

I figure it would be easier to write one review comparing all of them. Triplus Fineliner(30): Out of the bunch these have the smoothest application and I enjoy using them the most. You don't have to worry about ruining the paper if you go over the same spot a couple times. You can actually fill up a decent size area without it being streaky like you'd expect with most of these products. It's unfortunate they chose so many muted/ dark colors (12/30 to be exact) and they are the most expensive. Bleed? Little to moderate Stabilo(30): Wide range of bright colors at a decent price. I find myself reaching for these more than steadtler because of the colors although they have a harder tip and can be scratchy, it would be hard to fill a decent size area but good for precision. Bleed? Moderate Pentel(36): Got these to fill in bigger spaces as they're cheaper than the steadtler colour pens and stabilo 68 pens. For the price they're ok. I love all the colors but really hate using them. They feather, can't be used for precision, and tear up the paper pretty fast. It's almost impossible to get even coverage as well. I'm not sure how much use I'll get out of them, pretty bummed overall. Bleed? Yes Monami(24): I love these things. They're CHEAP!, colorful, and bright- but not good for big areas. The tip is hard to explain, think maybe like Papermate Flairs except finer, great for details that can be hard to get with the other fineliners. They're actually good for writing as well(I buy the packs of black for note taking). It's smoother than the pentel felt tip but will still tear up the paper and can give streaky coverage (some colors more than others) if you aren't careful. Note- they sometimes "sputter" when brand new. Not a lot though and it subsides quickly. Bleed? Little to none!

Very fine tip. Good quality ink.

I love these pens! And the don’t bleed through moleskine. But this pack had neons and I don’t know how one would use these? They are so light they’re impossible to see. So I wish I’d bought the smaller pack without the neons.

I've been using these pens for about a month and a half and these pens come in handy for writing my notes because I'm a visual type of person and they help differentiate each note from another. Colors make a huge difference in my note-taking, and these colors are bright and vibrant so that I can see all of them with ease (even the yellow!). I also use them for my journal/planner because I color-code my tasks by personal/school/class/etc., so these become useful for that as well. The only cons I can think of are that they bleed through some cheaper papers (like regular notebook paper) so when I rewrite my notes all pretty-like in my composition notebook I cannot write on the backs of pages (this doesn't bother me as much as it might other people). The pens do not bleed through my moleskine notebook paper, though that could be because of the higher paper quality as opposed to loose leaf notebook paper. In addition, the pens colors are vibrant, but not as vibrant as their competitive Staedtlers. I use both, and the Staedtlers are definitely brighter colored than the Stabilos (also though the Staedtlers bleed through almost every type of paper I've tested them on). The Stabilos' tips are also not as fine as some competitors, but that doesn't bother me as much because I use my Staedtlers to write in smaller places. These pens are affordable and easy to use. They write very well, and I will definitely buy from them again once I can afford the bigger pack!

these are my favorite pens of all time I love how fine they write. I love the colors and I like the way how they look like pencils, lol

The quality of these pens are great! The feel of the pens in the hands, the tip length, and ease of use make these pens a great purchase. The pen tips are just right to you can accurately color with them and there is little to no bleeding.

So many colors and they last a long time!
