This product is a set of 50 silicone ink caps, Ø12mm diameter, skull-shaped, designed to keep ink within reach while working. They are useful for any artist who needs stable containers on the work surface that do not slip or spill ink upon accidental contact. Being made of silicone, they offer extra protection for the needle tip compared to classic rigid caps.
Why choose silicone caps over classic plastic ones?▾
Silicone is softer and protects the needle tip from damage when it touches the cap's edge. Additionally, it absorbs needle vibrations, so the ink no longer jumps out of the cap upon lateral contact, as often happens with classic rigid caps.
Can the caps be reused after using them on a client?▾
No. Ink caps are single-use consumables — they are discarded after each client, along with ink residues, to comply with the studio's hygiene protocol.
How many caps does the set contain and how long will they last me?▾
The set contains 50 pieces. Since each cap is used only once (one fill per session or per color), one set covers a good number of sessions before you need a new set.
Does the cap sit stable on the work table or does it tip over easily?▾
The base shape is designed to mold well to the work surface, providing a stable grip, so the risk of tipping over during work is low.
How much ink should I pour into a cap?▾
The Ø12mm diameter gives you the available space, but the exact amount depends on how much you estimate you will use in that session. It is recommended to pour gradually, only as much as you need, so that no unused ink remains to be thrown away.
How do I store the remaining unused caps from the set?▾
Keep them in the original packaging, in a clean, dry place away from dust, until you are ready to use them, to avoid contamination before use.
