The five items in this range cover different maintenance scenarios: routine cleaning between sessions (Tachikawa remover pot), stubborn or dried ink that routine cleaning cannot shift (Zest-it solvent cleaner), quick nib rinsing during a session without picking up the main cleaning pot (glass rinse jar with coil), field and travel cleaning without a jar (Yoke nib wipes), and precise ink transfer and converter filling (ink syringe). A basic maintenance setup requires the remover pot and either the rinse jar or Yoke wipes. The full set covers all scenarios from studio use to working on location.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe difference between the Tachikawa remover and the Zest-it cleaner\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Tachikawa Ink Remover Pot is a water-based cleaning solution in a small pot with a coil of wire at the bottom. Dip the nib in, agitate against the coil to loosen dried ink, wipe on a cloth. It removes fresh ink and moderately dried ink without any risk to the nib or holder materials. The Zest-it Dip Pen Nib Cleaner is a solvent-based product — a different chemistry for a different problem. When ink has dried completely on a nib and routine water-based cleaning does not shift it, Zest-it dissolves the dried ink. It should be used on the nib only (not on pen barrel materials or inside fountain pen bodies) and applied sparingly with a cloth or cotton bud rather than by soaking.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Inkwell Art Supplies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53248024052040,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/inkwellartsupplies.com\/products\/dip-pen-cleaning-kit","provider":"Inkwell Art Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
