A highlighter might seem simple to pick… until the ink bleeds through the page, the tip leaves a line that's too thick, or the pen dries out after just a few uses. Whether you're revising, working on professional documents, organising your diary or bullet journaling, STABILO highlighters come in several formats and palettes. But not all of them are suited to the same tasks.
Before buying a set, there are three pitfalls to avoid:
Chisel-tip highlighters are particularly versatile: by changing the angle, you can usually vary the line width. Depending on the range, the stated dimensions differ:
The fine line lets you underline a word, frame a date or annotate a diagram. The maximum width is better suited to sentences and whole paragraphs. In law, medicine, languages or the humanities, this versatility saves you from constantly switching between different tools.
The models featured use a water-based ink, which is generally translucent. It keeps printed text readable and also lends itself to layering colours for creative projects.
However, do bear in mind: 'water-based' doesn't mean the result will be identical on all papers. On thin paper, inkjet print or highly absorbent paper, it's best to test in an inconspicuous corner. To minimise smudging, let the ink dry before closing your notebook and avoid going over the same spot several times.
The anti-dry-out STABILO highlighters mentioned here can stay uncapped for up to four hours, according to the information provided for the relevant products. A very handy feature when you're working on a large document or switching between several colours.
That doesn't mean you can skip replacing the cap: close each highlighter after use and store it in a dry place, away from direct heat. Some refillable highlighters, particularly in the STABILO BOSS ORIGINAL range, are stated to be compatible with STABILO refills. Always check the exact compatibility of the model and the availability of refills before relying on this feature.

We've put together a comprehensive, real-time updated selection of products that meet these strict selection criteria and European safety regulations.
The product sheets for several models indicate a resistance to drying out of up to four hours without the cap. However, this duration varies depending on usage conditions. To preserve the ink, it's best to replace the cap as soon as you've finished.
Fluorescent highlighters catch the eye more and are suitable for quickly spotting priority information. Pastel highlighters offer a softer marking, often better suited to organised notes, diaries and creative projects. The choice depends on the contrast you're after and the type of paper you're using.
Some STABILO BOSS ORIGINAL fluorescent models are stated to be refillable with STABILO refills. Check the product sheet of the set you choose before buying: compatibility and available colours may vary from one reference to another.
