【Care Instructions】
After use, thoroughly rinse the used portion of the brush with water to remove the ink.
Gently remove excess moisture, reshape the brush tip, and allow it to dry naturally in a well-ventilated shaded area, preferably with the brush tip facing downward.
If the brush is used without fully loosening the glued portion, do not forcibly loosen or wash the hardened portion. Instead, carefully remove the ink from the used portion with water and absorbent paper.
Do not put the protective cap back on while the brush is still wet. Make sure the brush is completely dry before storing it, as trapped moisture may cause mold or damage to the bristles.
Properly removing ink residue after use is important for maintaining the brush in good condition.
Please carefully check all photos for the exact condition, markings, and details before purchasing.
