4. Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life of your STABILO Fineliner point 88 pens:
- Recap After Use: Always firmly replace the cap on the pen immediately after each use. This is crucial to prevent the ink from drying out.

- Cleaning: If the tip accumulates dust or debris, gently wipe it with a damp, lint-free cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your STABILO Fineliner point 88, consider the following:
- Pen Not Writing: Ensure the cap was replaced properly after the last use. If the tip appears dry, try gently scribbling on a scrap piece of paper to re-prime the ink flow.
- Faint Lines: This may indicate low ink levels or a partially dried tip. Ensure the cap is always firmly on when not in use.
- Ink Smudging: Allow ink to dry completely on the paper before touching or layering. Drying times can vary based on paper type.
