Speedball - Pen Cleaner for Pigmented Acrylic Ink

Pen Cleaner for Pigmented Acrylic Ink

Dissolve dried pigmented acrylic ink from pens and airbrushes fast

Acrylic inks bond aggressively to metal nibs and feed systems, turning routine maintenance into genuine frustration when standard water won't cut it. Speedball formulated this cleaner specifically for pigmented acrylic inks, the concentrated pigments and acrylic binders that make those inks permanent also make them stubborn to remove. This solution breaks down dried ink buildup in technical pens, dip pen nibs, rubber stamps, and airbrush components without damaging metal parts or delicate mechanisms.

Pour a small amount into a cleaning cup and soak clogged nibs for several minutes, or flush through airbrush systems between color changes to prevent cross-contamination. The formula works on fresh ink and tackles partially dried residue that's already started bonding to metal surfaces. Regular cleaning with this solution extends the working life of technical pens considerably, dried acrylic ink is the primary reason those pens fail prematurely.

Keep a bottle at your workspace if you're working with Speedball's pigmented acrylic ink system. Preventive maintenance takes minutes; replacing clogged technical pens costs significantly more.
