STABILO point 88 - Fineliner - Pack of 6 - Neon Colours

Great pens, very comfortable to use. Although it has a squared tip, it is fine to use angled with nice ink flow. The pen glides on the paper, no scratching feeling. No bleed through or ghosting in colouring books with decent paper quality (like Johanna Basford, Maria Trolle, Hanna Karlzon, Romantic country, etc). A very good range of colours and the caps match pretty nicely with the respective colour. As mentioned before, it comes in 47 colours, with doubles of red, blue and black, a total of 50 pens. I added a color swatch of all 47 colours under natural light, which are very similar to real life tones, no editing. The #24 lemon yellow, #024 neon yellow and #033 neon green are difficult to read because are very light, but show nicely when filling areas. My favorite colours are #50 crimson, #19 purple, #98 payne's grey, #13 ice green, #88 light ochre, #26 apricot and #94 light grey. The neon colours are very brilliant and vivid, especially the yellow highlighter-like #024. Highly recommend!

I use mine for adult colouring in and journalling and they are lovely to use. The colours in these match their respective point 68 1mm colours which is great for moving between detail and larger spaces. They produce great colour and vibrancy too. The image I have attached I have used a combination of these pens and the point 68 pens

These pens are brilliant, well worth the price, you get a good range of colours and no sign or running out yet surprising as I use them daily and most colouring pens run out quickly. The only down side is that some of the colours don't exactly match up to the lid colour. I use them on the animal kingdom colouring book and they don't leak through too much a few dots hear and there but that's mostly from the paper quality. I would recommend these pens!! :)

I love the Stabilo fineliners. They are my pen of choice for adult colouring books. A lot of adult colouring designs have a lot of fine details on them and some pens are really hard to colour inside the lines of smaller areas. These are perfect for intricate designs. On some of the bigger colouring areas it can be harder to not leave gaps, but if you touch it up you'll get there eventually.They are also really pretty for writing with, if you want to colour-code notes or present something a bit more artistically. Though I prefer them for smaller bits of writing, rather than for anything substantial.In regard to the 40 pack:I recommend to anyone who takes their colouring seriously, to ignore the smaller sets and just get this one. I originally bought a set of 20, which was fine for a while then I found there were a few shades I felt I was lacking and started looking for other sets that didn't include too many duplicate colours. I bought the pastels set and then started looking for individual pens I was lacking in shops, which involves luck. In the end I searched Amazon for the 15 colours I was missing individually and found it was much cheaper to just buy the 40 set, as it had all the ones I needed, but now I have a lot of duplictate colours.Stabilo have a range of 41 standard 88 fineliner colours (not including neons). The 40 pen set includes all of the standard colors apart from 59, which is Light Lilac.That annoys me, because they don't have a good selection of purples anyway. (The one they call Purple (19) is more of a dark red/maroon and the one they call Lilac (58) is really magenta. That just leaves Violet (55) as the only true purple in the set. I take my purples seriously.)Why couldn't they make it a 41 colour set? If you want all 41 colours, you'll have to buy the Light Lilac individually or in the pastel colours set. (That one is the proper lilac shade.)Aside from purples, they have a very good range of colours. There are plenty of greys to choose from, which is where most sets fall down. The 40 pack has some great blues, greens and browns, which I haven't been able to find in other sets. Good news for nature colouring fans.I would give 4.5 stars if possible. 4 stars for colour range (would get 5 if it had more purples) and 5 stars for the quality of pens. I have yet to come across another brand as good as these.

Goodbye Stabilo. Most of these 'long cap off' fineliners were dry, and only left a scratchy, hardly visible line on the page. Others give glowing reviews. So much for quality control. 8 pens for 3.66 GBP. I bought a similar set of Staedtler fineliners -10 for a similar price elsewhere- which produce an even, flowing line.Update: I emailed the UK Stabilo representative, who offered to swap the fineliners if I returned them in a prepaid envelope. Good service.However, I had not allowed for another variable - the paper. When I used different papers, all but the pale blue flowed freely. Even that flowed better than before. So, consider the drawing surface.

I love these pens! I have a pack that I purchased in my final year of school for note-taking. I am currently 32, and the ink is just running out now! They have been with me through school, university, and my adult colouring phase, and some of them are still going strong! Absolutely great (seemingly endless) supply of ink!I bought these as they had a greater variety of colours and shades than the standard packs. They did not disappoint- there is a brilliant selection of colours. Not too similar to each other, but still complementary to other colours in the pack.They are as fine as a standard ball point pen, so they are great for writing with. They also are ideal for filling out the tiny details in some colouring books, where standard felt pens are too chunky. Just perfect for detail work.I guess the one thing I may change is the fact that the barrels are all yellow/orange, so you need to look at the cap to identify the colour within. But that is really not much of a problem at all.Overall I thoroughly recommend them to people looking to do close-up detail work, or colourful writing.
