Amazing cleaner

I had a few nibs that were looking very encrusted with acrylic ink, despite cleaning them regularly when in use. The nib cleaner has restored them really well. After a few minutes in soak the nibs like new again.

Wel oke. Had gehoopt dat het een verstopte tip kon reinigen maar helaas

Amazing stuff!

I was having issues with the ink drying (user error, I wasn’t storing my Wren vertically like suggested) and this was amazing at cleaning all the parts so I could try again.

Better to have and not need, than need and not have. (I ended up needing it after a little accident and it works like a treat)

Helps Get It Off of Your Hands Too!

If you were so excited to play with your early Christmas present (engraved Lumos mini in Iris) that you over fill your reservoir (it's possible!), this stuff is great to get it off of your: hands, desk, the tip in question, the tip grip, the tip cover... You get where I'm going with this. Order it. As much as I adore purple, I do not need Tom's gorgeous Juniper color all over everything.

Unfortunately doesn’t work

I had the lumi and was very happy with it. However quite disappointed with this pen. The nib is dry and I changed it to new one and new reservoir. I do know how to work to system as it’s the same as the Lumi. Quite disappointed

Very happy

Clearly a high level of craftsmanship goes into your products but also unexpectedly into the packaging, which was so good it was perfect to give as a gift as is.

The wren

I received a beautiful wren pen from my daughter as a birthday present and it instantly became my favorite pen. The ink dries so quickly and the nib is unlike any I’ve used before ! The cleaner makes it so easy to go from one color to another and there’s no mess. I love this pen and I have collected pens for some time now and the Wren is by far my favorite!

Messy

It’s nice but I find the pen too heavy. Changing nibs is a pain and messy, they also don’t seem to fit very well.

Really good

Honestly so useful I’ve used it a fair bit and it already removes all the ink that went where it wasn’t meant to grate for cleaning pens and other surfaces

Nib cleaning

tried to clean my nibs with water and soapy water but still left ink in situ. Ordered this solution, decanted a little into a smaller pot and left the nibs to soak and they are now completely free of ink. Thank you Tom, great product

Coped well with removing gold ink from one dip wonder nib where the gold became stuck in the crack of the nib making it difficult to use. Needed a bit of extra attention with a bit of fine sandpaper as well though.

Cleans well! Little goes a long way.

Like a charm!

The first nib I cleaned with this solution was one that I had used and then forgot to clean for months - On top of that, I was using platinum brand black carbon ink- one of the most water resistant inks on the market ~ It worked like a charm!

I am liking it. So far, I just add a tiny dot on my nib after using it, wait 4 sec, then I clean it with a tissue and all the ink goes quickly.

I haven’t used it yet because I am currently taking a bouncing and stylization class using felt pen I don’t need to clean a nib. I will update as needed.
