I ordered a 6d pen from journeyed.com (got a 3 dollar discount), but ironically it didn't come with a nylon nib like it said it would. I've been working with the felt nib and don't mind it so much...

but suddenly my felt nib is squeaking like nails on a chalkboard. I assume it's because i'm wearing it down from so much use, and i don't mind that, but I only have one and i'd like to try some nylon nibs out and see how they handle.

I can't find them online ANYWHERE. In wacom's website the closest I could get was the 5 pack of felt nibs- probably still something I should invest in, but the nylon's what i'm lookin' for at the moment.

and I suppose I should ask...

I thought i was taking good care of my tablet, but not matter how clean i try and keep it my felt nib gets gross. It's dark grey and getting blacker as we speak. Anyone else experience this or am i just not keeping it clean enough?

thanks guys.

Yep, mine are filthy too...and squeek, so maybe both of us are not keeping it clean enough. The nylon nibs are available from the European site. I don't know whether they ship to the US however.

I must have spent three hours looking on their website. Much thanks to you.
