TEX Cartridges are designed and built by James Tex, made from 316H surgical steel — a grade chosen specifically for its ability to hold up under extended use and heat without losing integrity or precision. Every cartridge includes a safety membrane to block back-flow of fluids, and comes 20 to a box.
TEX is our top-selling cartridge line, trusted by professional artists for consistent ink flow and reliable needle groupings across every major configuration:
- Regular Liners — clean, consistent linework
- Round Shaders / Loose Liners — soft shading and detail blending
- Hollow Liners — smooth ink delivery for fine line precision
- Magnums (Medium Taper) — efficient shading and colour packing
- Curved Magnums (Medium & Long Taper) — even coverage over larger and curved areas
- Bugpin Liners — ultra-fine detail work
