Tissue Paper
Hey everyone,
A note in the Ink Bottles thread reminded me that I have been wondering about nib cleaning paper for a while. What do you all recommend. I have seen everything from an actual absorbant cloth shipped with some pens, to people using regular old bathroom tissue. Obviously lint plays a factor, because the looser, and more lint filled tissues can leave threads in the nib that affect writing performance (personal experience), but I was wondering if anyone had any brand or some such that they preferred to use?

Not facial tissue. I use paper towels, napkins from fast food places, and toilet tissue depending on whether I'm refilling at the kitchen or bathroom sink. Aaron W.

I think this might get my vote as well for the best idea I've seen, too. Aaron W. Hsu -- A professor is one who talks in someone else's sleep. |
