I've gone through 2 hawk grips in less than 3 months and i have a friend who uses T-tech's on his spirit and he's gone through 2 grips in less than 3 months..Its not so much the ink that is a problem, most ink is too thick to leak back into the grip..the devil is washing out your tips between colors. its water leaking back into the grip that corrodes and ultimately ruins a hawk grip
I almost used only the t-tech needles with my hawk but i never had any problem ! I also dont wrap them,after using cleaning it in a special solution and autoclave them ! But now i only use the t-tech system with steel grip and i like it mutch more because you can use every machine you want !!!! FANTASTIC !!!!!
