Yoke Pen Company
Nib Wipes, Set of 5
Item #:
nibwipe
$4.99
Developed specifically for nibs, this 8"x10" wipe is 100% lint free and won't contaminate your ink well with fibers. It was developed specifically for water-based inks, but it is also solvent safe. One side has a smooth texture and the other is a quilted texture, and the wipe is similar in thickness to a paper towel. However, it will last longer than a roll of paper towels and is ten times stronger.
These wipes were something I developed for myself out of need. I got tired of picking lint and fuzz off of the end of my pointed pen nib. It seems I spent more time cleaning my nib end than I did writing. I found a product which worked but wasn't quite right for the absorbency of the inks I use. After working with the company on the exact application, they developed a wipe which was perfect. I suggest folding the wipe in half and then in half again resulting in a quartered wipe. I use one surface until full and then flip it over. Once that area is full, I unfold and fold back the other direction, leaving two new surfaces to use. Each wipe lasts me about one month based on two hours of practice a day. Keep using it until it just won't hold any more ink and then throw it away." -Christopher Yoke.
Includes five wipes.

Luxury
Maybe just a luxury item. A piece of cloth seems to work just as well for me. They are handy, but a bit pricy for what they are.

Easyness
I like the quality of these nib wipes, the size and how they perform. I've even cut one to keep in my storage box for on the situations. Love the easiness for correct nib care!
