Fineliners and markers for school, the office and lettering

Fineliners, highlighters and permanent markers

Fineliners and markers cover many tasks, from class notes and study sheets to sketchnotes and labeling. Here you'll find fineliners in different line widths, highlighters, permanent markers and art markers from brands such as STABILO, edding, Staedtler and Faber-Castell.

Which pen suits which task

Fineliners draw even, fine lines, for example in 0.3 or 0.5 mm. They're great for neat handwriting, outlines, bullet journals and sketchnotes. Highlighters have a broader, often chisel-shaped tip and bright, transparent colors that highlight text without covering it.

Permanent markers are designed for permanent labeling on film, plastic, metal or cardboard. On paper they often bleed through, so place a sheet underneath when working in a pad. For paper, hand lettering and drawings, water-based markers are usually the better choice. Art markers in many colors round out the range for cards and journals.

Tip: Only run a highlighter over fountain pen ink once it has dried completely, or the writing will smear. Put the cap back on right after use so the tip doesn't dry out.
