Artline Supreme Fineliner 0.4mm Light Blue: Box of 12

The Artline Supreme fineliner in light blue is a 0.4mm fibre-tip pen that writes for over 1,300 metres on water-based, non-bleed ink, and it ships in a box of 12. It is made for anyone who needs neat, consistent fine lines all day — office note-takers, teachers marking work, and ward staff completing charts.

Why a dependable 0.4mm fineliner matters

A fineliner earns its place when handwriting has to stay legible at small sizes. The 0.4mm line width lays down a crisp, even stroke that suits form fields, margins and tight columns without smudging into a blob.

For offices, that means clean minute-taking and forms that photocopy and scan cleanly. For schools, it means workbooks and worksheets that stay readable for both students and markers. For hospitals, it means legible entries on charts, observation sheets and handover notes where clarity genuinely counts.

Features and benefits of the Artline Supreme fineliner

The pen carries a 0.4mm fibre nib and water-based ink that will not bleed through paper, so writing stays on one side of the page rather than ghosting onto the next.

Artline rates each pen to write for more than 1,300 metres, which is a long working life for a single fineliner in daily use. The barrel is plastic with a curved pinch-grip system designed for writing comfort during longer sessions.

The ink is xylene free and the pen is RoHS compliant, and the light blue barrel measures roughly 165mm long. Because it comes as a box of 12, one order covers a whole desk drawer, a classroom caddy or a nurses' station.

How each workplace uses it

Office: Keep a box of 12 in the stationery cupboard for meeting notes, annotating printouts and filling in expense and leave forms. The fine, non-bleed line keeps double-sided paperwork tidy.

Classroom: A shared caddy of light blue fineliners is handy for labelling, diagram work and neat correction that stands out from a student's own pen colour without dominating the page.

Hospital or clinic: Ward and admin staff can use them for observation charts, handover sheets, ward planning boards and patient-education handouts where a clear, fine line is easier to read at a glance.

Tips for getting the most from your fineliners

Store fineliners horizontally or nib-down so ink stays fed to the tip, and always re-cap them straight after use to protect the fibre nib from drying out.

Because the ink is water based, let it dry for a moment on glossy or coated stock before running your hand across it. For everyday copy paper it sets quickly and resists bleed-through.

Buying the box of 12 also makes it easy to colour-code: reserve light blue for one category of notes and pair it with other colours in the Artline Supreme fineliner range.
