FAQs
STABILO BOSS ORIGINAL has been a very successful product for more than 40 years. One factor of its success is its unique design. The black cap is a copyrighted design feature and therefore we intend to keep this colour concept in future.

A similar STABILO product, the STABILO LUMINATOR highlighter, features a cap which matches the ink colour and has an XXL ink tank. 

The launch of the STABILO BOSS highlighter at the beginning of 1971 marked an innovative masterstroke by Schwan-STABILO with a totally new, revolutionary application. In the days before fluorescent highlighters there were few ways to mark important text.

The idea of simply writing over passages instead of underlining them was obvious: all that was left was for fluorescent ink to be put into a suitable pen. And a revolutionary writing instrument required an equally revolutionary shape – a real challenge for an industrial designer! The designer made one model after another, only to discard them all: square, round, short and fat, long and flat designs.

A conical cylinder he had produced in modelling clay seemed like a promising idea, but it was still hardly anything new.

In his frustration, the designer squashed the model lying in front of him with the flat of his hand… 40 years later, the flat, chubby STABILO BOSS ORIGINAL highlighter still has many imitators. And to this day it remains the highlight of an entire product category.

Most of the ink-based pens are made in Weißenburg, Germany. These include popular STABILO products such as BOSS ORIGINAL, point 88 or the STABILO worker.

Most of the wooden STABILO pencils are manufactured in Cesky Krumlov (www.ckrumlov.cz/uk), also to the highest standards. These include STABILO CarbOthello und STABILO woody 3 in 1.

A few products, e.g. our product STABILO tropikana Pacific, is produced in our production plant in Malaysia.

If the STABILO ´s move / STABILO EASYoriginal that you used writes with blue ink, then it is standard fountain pen ink. These stains can easily be removed by using an ink eraser (e.g. STABILO point 88 colorkilla).

If the STABILO ´s move / STABILO EASYoriginal writes red or black, water or soap would be the best choice. If you do not achieve the desired result with this, we recommend you buy a stain-remover at your local drugstore and use it according to the manufacturer’s instructions. In this particular case we recommend an oxidising stain-remover as part of the ink could be removed through strong oxidation.
The STABILO EASYoriginal sets standards in terms of ergonomics and writing comfort. In addition to this, we have also done something to stop blue fingers. In contrast to conventional ink cartridges, the EASY cartridge is protected against leaks. Even a damage which would cause a conventional ink cartridge to leak completely, our ink system holds the ink in a sponge-like reservoir. This reservoir is, of course, coloured according to the ink and stays this colour even after the ink is used up completely. A transparent cartridge would therefore not help to show the ink level.
Rollerballs make sense wherever a robust tip and an adjustable ink flow are desired. For example, the technology is used in teach-to-write pens such as the EASYoriginal with a slow ink flow, as well as in office products for adults such as the worker+ with a very high ink flow. This ensures that children who write more slowly get less ink on the paper so that the letters dry quickly and do not smear. At the same time, a high ink flow in adult products results in particularly smooth and soft writing without dropouts, even at high writing speeds.
Our STABILO BOSS MINI is a highlighter used not only for highlighting text passages but also for colouring with its fluorescent colours. It is not designed to paint tattoos or decorate the skin as it does not comply with the necessary cosmetics directives for this purpose. It does, however, meet the requirements for writing instruments. There is certainly no problem if you occasionally stain your fingers by accident; but in order to paint your face or decorate your skin we suggest you use a tattoo pen with tattoo ink which is available from cosmetic companies, as these inks are easy to paint with, long-lasting on skin and dermatologically tested.
