FAQs
The STABILO coloring fibre-tip pens (e.g. STABILO Pen 68, power, power max, Cappi, Trio Scribbi, Trio Jumbo and Trio A-Z) are labeled as child toys through the CE (UKCA) marking on the product, which means they fulfill all regulations from the EU (and UK) regarding safety for toys.
There will be no harm caused by our product if used as intended: Drawing and writing on paper and not writing on skin. This is the reason we do not recommend using these products on skin, body or face areas.
These products are not cosmetics and therefore not tested to meet such requirements. However, there is no danger to a child’s skin if our products occasionally come into contact with it.
“Washable” in our STABILO stationery context means that our ink can be washed out of most of textiles (Cotton and Polyester), but not skin!
Products from the category “washable” are e.g. power, power max, Cappi and products in the category “super washable” are e.g. Trio A-Z, Trio Scribbi, Trio Jumbo.
The difference is the washing temperature:

STABILO wants to promote learning to write and has therefore developed the EASY Start family for left- and right-handers. However, since only about 20% of the world's population is left-handed, the demand for products with this feature is much lower than the demand for products for right-handers.
Accordingly, the number of left-handed products sold in specialized stores is significantly lower than the number of right-handed products. Therefore, it is neither economical for the retailers nor for us to offer the left-handed versions in the same variety of colors as we do for right-handed products.
In order to be able to offer as many customers as possible their favorite color, all versions are subjected to intensive target group tests.
Leather:
Being a “natural fibre”, leather usually takes on colourants very easily. Thus colourants soak into the leather and do not just remain on the surface. Colour stains are, therefore, almost impossible to remove. Only the abrasion method (using a mild scouring powder or, even better, a scouring milk) may have a chance of reducing or removing any stains. The abrasive effect of the scouring product does, however, damage the surface of the leather somewhat. You should, therefore, be very careful when doing this and, when finished, treat the spot with a leather care product (dubbin or something similar).
Clothes:
The ink in these STABILO products can be rinsed out quite easily. Our ink laboratory recommends that you treat the stain with plenty of water. You should add normal hand-detergent to the water, provided that this is suitable for the material. You should do this as quickly as possible, because the longer the ink has to dry, the more difficult it is to remove.
Clothes can easily be washed in the washing mashine at 40°C together with normal washing powder. Please ensure that the textiles can be washed in a washing machine at the recommended temperature.
On furniture or wood flooring:
It is best to wipe the stain immediately with a slightly damp microfibre cloth, until the ink is removed as much as possible. If the ink cannot be removed this way, then carefully rub the stain with a damp cloth and a scouring agent for kitchen and bath. Please be careful not to damage the lacquering of the material. If the spot has turned dull, try to bring back the shine of the spots with a car polisher containing no abrasives.
For untreated wood, the ink is usually absorbed by the wood like aqueous stains and thus it is unfortunately very difficult or hard to be removed. Depending on how deep the ink has penetrated, polishing with an abrasive pad / sandpaper could be successful. It should be noted that the colour of the wood may change and may have to be re-sealed or waxed.
On walls (plastered or painted):
Unfortunately, these stains cannot be removed without residue any more, they must be painted over by wall paint. Please dab the stain first with a slightly damp microfibre cloth until no more ink gets detached from the wall.
Caution: When using a too wet cloth, the stain will enlarge.
Then the spot must be primed with a sealing primer (DIY store / Painter shop). This procedure is intended to avoid ink to dissolve from the stain through the damp wall colour and then to migrate through the wall paint to the surface and thus to become visible again.
Since hardness grades for pencils have not been standardized to date, it is difficult to give a clear answer here. In general, the less automated the writing movements are, the less fluent and slower the writing, the softer and thus easier the lead should be to glide. The most common hardness grade in Europe is the medium HB lead hardness, which is also often used in school pencils. However, softer leads such as B or (more rarely) 2B can also be found here.
