The thick rubber bands work best for me.
I use round tips for 7-8 and bigger. And diamond on 5 and smaller. And like they said a slight bend on the needle head.
Diamond tips tend to have too much space in the V under the needle, on bigger groupings. And the solder on the needle can cause it to spit ink bc of the gap in the V of the tip.
Just my theory and what works for me.
