Complete guide: Set 200 Killer Ink Heart-Shaped Silicone Ink Cups - Red
Ink caps are the small piece that determines the order on your station: you pour pigment into them before the session so you don't have to touch the bottle while working. Here you get 200 pieces made of silicone, heart-shaped and red, with dimensions of 23 x 22 x 12 mm. They are designed for artists who want a stock that lasts a long time and who never reuse anything from one client to another, but also for those who organize their workstation with attention to appearance.
How to use
- Prepare the station before anything else: disinfect the work surface, cover it with barrier film, and put on clean gloves. The caps are taken out of the pack only at this point, with gloved hands.
- Place one cap for each ink or shade you plan to use, plus one separate cap for distilled water to rinse the needle. Keep them grouped in the same order every time so you don't have to search for them during work.
- Pour the ink from the bottle into the cap without the bottle's mouth touching the cap, glove, or client's skin — this keeps the bottle uncontaminated for future sessions.
- Put only the amount you estimate you will use. Any ink left in the cap is never returned to the bottle.
- If you use a cap holder, secure the caps in it before you start. A loose cap placed directly on the film can tip over with a sudden movement and compromise your setup.
- During the session, take ink only with the needle tip. If a cap has tipped over, been touched with a contaminated glove, or you have any doubt, discard it and use a clean one.
- At the end, discard everything — contents and caps alike — as contaminated waste, according to the studio's procedure. Disinfect the holder and change the barrier films before the next client.
Tips from us
- One cap per shade, no compromises. If you work with diluted black in steps, line up the caps from darkest to lightest and always keep the same order — it becomes a reflex and reduces the chance of picking the wrong cap.
- For rinse water, choose a cap placed clearly separate from the rest, at the end of the row. Confusing water and ink is one of the most common setup mistakes.
- A colored wall doesn't let you judge the shade of a dilution as well as a transparent one. Check the dilution on a tissue or test spot before applying it to the skin.
- With 200 pieces in the pack, there's no point in saving: an extra cap costs infinitely less than a session where you run out of ink halfway through.
- Keep the pack closed, in a dry, dust-free drawer, and take out only as many as you need for the current session. Do not leave a stack exposed on the station between clients.
- If you work in a studio with multiple artists, the distinctive shape and color help you immediately recognize your own set on a shared station.
Frequently asked questions
How many ink caps do I need for a session?▾
The rule of thumb is one for each ink or shade you use, plus one for the distilled water to rinse the needle. For a simple black lettering, that might mean two to three caps; for a color piece with multiple shade passes, you can easily reach seven to eight. With 200 pieces in the pack, you can afford to add an extra one whenever you have doubts — that's exactly the advantage of a large set.
Can I wash and reuse them since they're silicone?▾
No. Any cap that has been on the station during work must be thrown away at the end of the session, along with the remaining ink. The material doesn't change the rule: you cannot guarantee decontamination of an open container that was near the work area, and reusing between clients is exactly the kind of shortcut that creates cross-contamination risk. The 200-piece pack is designed precisely so you won't be tempted to cut corners here.
Will they fit my ink cap holder?▾
It depends on your holder. The product sheet gives dimensions of 23 x 22 x 12 mm and a heart shape, so it's not a classic cylinder. If your holder has round, tight slots, compare them to these dimensions before ordering. On a holder with more generous slots or on a flat tray covered with barrier film, you can use them without issues.
How much ink does a cap hold?▾
The product sheet does not state a volume, only the outer dimensions of 23 x 22 x 12 mm, with the note that it offers enough space for commonly used inks. In practice, you pour based on how much you use, not how much it holds: put a little, add more if needed, and never pour anything back into the bottle.
Does the red color matter, or is it just aesthetic?▾
Functionally, the color doesn't change the cap's role — to keep the pigment stable and within reach on the station. Practically, a distinctive set is easy to spot on a shared station and gives the setup a tidy look. The only real downside is that through a colored wall, you can't judge the shade of a dilution as well as through a transparent one, so check the dilution on a separate test.
Are they delivered sterile?▾
The product data does not mention sterility, so do not assume it — check the packaging you receive if your procedure requires sterile consumables. Regardless of the answer, the basic rules remain the same: disinfected station covered with barrier films, clean gloves, caps taken out of the pack only at setup time, and thrown away at the end of the session.
