Nib Station V1 is our first attempt at a contained place for all those inky messes, sold along side the Queen Bed V1 as a companion piece. The Station comes with six glass water tight vials that allow you to soak individual components or pens. With a mouth opening of 0.63″ and a depth of just over 2.2″, you can let a wide range of different sized writing instruments sit safely in your cleaner of choice for those extra stubborn inks or feeds that need a little extra time in the wash.

With a wide foot base to help prevent any tipping, the high grip feet makes sure that your nib units and precious components stay put.

Vial Cleaning Tips: If vials are left out and become difficult to clean, a simple mixture of table salt and rubbing alcohol can be made to help loosen and scrub any residue build-up. Mixing in the vial, make sure there is enough salt to not fully dissolve in the rubbing alcohol, and then shake the vial with the solution so as to let the salt work with the alcohol as a scrubbing agent. Be sure to rinse thoroughly with water after and let air dry so as to not have any rubbing alcohol left in the vials before reuse, as this can damage critical components.

Important material warning: Do not soak vintage ebonite pens or celluloid unless you remove the nib and feed and soak those alone—ebonite can oxidize in water and damage the finish, ruining the material.

Avoid celluloid soaking as well—celluloid can discolor permanently and degrade the integrity of the pen.
