Cleaning Your Pens

[Bean_Counter]

I am trying to up my picture taking skills and was wondering what you do to clean prints off of your pens before you snap the pics. I dont think I get my polish all the way off so my fingerprints show up in bright daylight pics.

Rubber gloves don't leave fingerprints. Wipe off the pen with a microfiber or lens cleaning cloth to remove prior prints. That is all you need to do. If you use Renaissance Wax, you won't have as many prints to remove, but you still want to wear gloves and wipe down the pen before you take the picture.

I use a microfiber cloth for cleaning glasses. I hold the pen with thumb and middle finger at the top and bottom of the pen. The least photographed section of the pen. It has worked for me.. I don't know if its the best way just how I do it.

I use Renaissance Wax after I assemble a pen and I use a microfiber cloth prior to taking pictures.

Ditto on the micro fiber cloth. Threat your pens like jewelry.

When ever I show my pens at a show or photographing them I use a white pair of cotton gloves. When the person is done handling the pen you can wipe it off with the gloves and put it back on display.

Microfiber cloths from walmart. The blue and white ones in the automotive care section. I usually dont leave fingerprints as the glue and acetone help keep the fingers good and dry.
