Kakimori Nib Cleaning Solution is formulated to remove dried ink, rejuvenate clogged nibs and improve poor ink flow.
Not recommended for pens of other brands.
How to use the ink cleaning solution
Step 1: Pre-wash
Remove the converter and rinse the nib under running water. Point downwards and run water through the nib.
Step 2: Soak
Kakimori ink cleaning solution:
Place the nib, pointing down, directly in the ink cleaning solution bottle. If the nib floats, close the lid on the bottle and gently shake up and down until the nib is completely immersed. Leave to soak for 9-12 hours.
Step 3: Rinse
Rinse under running water as per step 1. The solution may leave a white powdery residue if allowed to dry. Rinse the nib thoroughly. Wash hands thoroughly after rinsing.
Place a tissue over the nib and shake vigorously to remove any ink or water residue.
Step 4. Refill
Refill your pen (see instructions below for each type of pen).
Ink will be watery at first from residual water from the previous step. The original ink consistency will return with use. To prevent nib damage from friction, avoid applying excessive pressure until the ink reaches full viscosity.
Kakimori ink cleaning solution can be used to remove stubborn dried ink from dip pen nibs. Gently clean with a toothbrush and a little solution, without soaking. Avoid soaking brass nibs as they may discolour.
