Why did Harder & Steenbeck design the two pronged cap on the infinity?
A. In order to have better visibility of their project, many artists prefer to work with no cap at all. In doing so, great care has to be taken that the needle is not damaged. You may also remove the crown cap if desired. The new two pronged or crown cap offers the best of both worlds, a clear view of your work yet the needle is protected from accidental damage. The crown cap has two very fine points which are enough to protect the tip but make the tip completely accessible from the sides. Any possible build up is easily wiped away with soaked Q-tip.
