By A Mystery Man Writer
Description
International supplier of books, tools and supplies for calligraphy, illumination, and bookbinding.
N204. Ink Cage Nib. The revolutionary Ink Cage is a reservoir for pointed pen nibs. It allows you to write or flourish much longer before re-dipping. The Ink Cage is sold permanently attached to the nib of your choice. It is not removable or reusable.- Use Ink Cage Nibs with fountain pen inks, calligraphy inks, sumi and India inks without shellac (check label on bottle or online sources), and thinned gouache or watercolor.- Some inks may need to be thinned to work properly. Distilled water is recommended for this.- Insert Ink Cage Nibs into penholders by grasping the sides of the nib to prevent damage to the Ink Cage.- With Ink Cage Nibs you will write a great deal longer: 1-1/2 or twice as long as the nib without the Ink Cage, or perhaps longer.- Provides more consistent flow, similar to working with a fountain pen- For best performance with Sumi and waterproof inks, rinse in water occasionally while writing. How often depends on ink buildup.Cleaning- For water-based inks (non-waterproof), clean the nib by dipping it several times in a small jar of water.- For cleaning heavier pigmented inks, add a small amount of pen cleaner (90% water/10% cleaner). Add Higgins, Speedball or Ziller Pen Cleaners to the water.- Then, to dry, pat on a folded piece of paper towel, rolling the nib back and forth on both sides, being careful on the cage side.- Some people use a small hair dryer to finish drying their nibs.- You do not have to take the nib out of the holder to clean it.- A little ink residue or staining in the cage area will not affect the nib's performance.- Do not soak nibs in pure cleaning solution or use hot water to clean.- Ultrasonic cleaners are not recommended for the Ink Cage Nibs.
