FAQs
There is no ISO standard for permanent fineliners in general and therefore none especially for our point 88 either. However, the inks are more than sufficient for office use as they can neither be erased with ink-eraser nor easily oxidised with chlorine solution. In addition, in a test of archived documents kept in folders for 10 years the point 88 ink was still legible.
Technically, ballpoint pens are related to rollerball pens and gel rollers. The barrels of all three types of pens are similar in design. The main difference lies in the inks used. In ballpoint pens, a rather viscous ink is applied to the paper through a ball (hence the name), which is usually made of ceramic or metal. When moving over the paper, the ball rolls and transports fresh ink from the shaft to the front again and again.

Gel ballpoint pen is a synonymous term for gel pens. This is a technology that is similar in structure to a ballpoint pen, but offers a very soft writing feel. The reason for this is a gel-like ink, which on the one hand is more viscous than the water-based ink of a rollerball pen, but on the other hand is thinner than the ink of ballpoint pens.
Technically, the barrels of both types of pens are similar. The main difference lies in the inks used. For example, rollerball has a liquid, water-based ink, while the paste used in ballpoint pens is much thinner, resulting in different writing characteristics: Rollerball, for example, is the pen with the most fluid ink flow in the literal sense, which makes it well-suited for particularly fast and gliding writing. The ballpoint pen, on the other hand, impresses with the longest writing length and is usually the more durable pen because the ink does not dry up even after a long time.
Due to their rather viscous ink, ballpoint pens are not known for writing particularly softly. The advantages lie more in properties such as a long writing length and little smudging. However, there are specially developed ballpoint pen refills, such as those of the STABILO pointball, which - for a ballpoint pen - produce a surprisingly soft writing feel.

Unfortunately, with these STABILO products it is either very difficult or even impossible to remove stains from textiles. However, this short guide may help you nonetheless.
Assuming that you already tried several conventional methods for stain removal (such as soap and water, for example) our advice would be to use ethanol (spirits). The ink contains two pigments which are easily removed with ethanol, although this does not promise complete success. Yet you may be able to remove more pigment from your cloth/leather by using a spirit-saturated fleece cloth. Avoid rubbing, as the stain might spread this way!
When working with ethanol you must avoid naked flames, as spirits are very flammable. Additionally, we recommend testing the material’s reaction to the spirit on a hidden part of the cloth/leather.
