Fineliner Staedtler Pigment Liner 308

The Staedtler Pigment Liner 308 is a fine black fineliner designed for precise writing, technical drawing and detailed sketching. Featuring a durable metal-clad tip and pigment-based ink, this fineliner delivers consistent, sharp lines on paper and many drawing surfaces. The waterproof and lightfast ink resists smudging and fading, making the pen suitable for archival work, illustrations and everyday note-taking.

Advantages

The fineliner provides a stable, uniform line width and excellent ink flow for accurate strokes. Its pigment ink offers water resistance and lightfastness, ensuring long-lasting results. The metal-clad tip protects against wear and keeps the point true for detailed work. The ergonomic barrel supports comfortable handling during extended use.

How to use

Uncap the pen and hold it at a comfortable angle to the paper for controlled strokes. Use light, steady pressure to avoid flattening the tip; the metal-clad point maintains shape while delivering fine lines. For technical work, use rulers or templates as needed. After use, replace the cap securely to prevent ink drying. Allow ink to dry briefly before applying washes or other wet media where waterproof lines are required.

Recommendations

For archival or reproduction work, test the fineliner on a scrap of the intended paper first to confirm compatibility and drying time. Store horizontally when not in use and keep capped to maintain tip condition and ink performance.
