Dragonhawk YUE: The cartridge line that not only looks good, but also delivers clean results

If there's one thing Dragonhawk knows how to do, it's build tools that work in the studio. With the YUE cartridges, they've dropped a line that combines two things that rarely go together: a sleek, aesthetic design and noticeable technical upgrades. The casings feature a dual-color fusion and flowing "ripple" lines – not only does it look nice, but it also feels more stable in your hand when you're using it for longer periods of time.

What makes the YUE special (in a nutshell)

• More rigidity, cleaner guidance: According to the manufacturer, a new needle bar provides ~10% higher rigidity, better alignment, and thus more efficient color packing. In everyday use, this means less wobbling, more precision, and faster saturation.

• Anti-backflow with grooves: The protective grooves on the tip prevent ink from flowing back into the grip/outer area – the setup stays clean and hygienic.

• New tip design: The flow path in the tip has been shaped so that ink flows more smoothly and there is more ink capacity. The result: consistent delivery, less refilling.

• Non-slip housing: The dual-color fusion is not just decorative – the wave structure really does provide a comfortable grip. Nice when your gloves get wet.

Feedback from the field: Independent reviews praise the YUE for its stable guidance, smooth operation, and innovative tip design. No marketing hype, just real studio impressions.

Who is YUE for?

For artists who want precise lines, even shading, and rich color packing —without having to fiddle with the setup every time. The line covers typical diameters (#08 = 0.25 mm, #10 = 0.30 mm, #12 = 0.35 mm) and long tapers, and offers RL/RS/RM/Magnum variants. Boxes of 20, EO gas sterilized, with safety membrane – compatible with all common cartridge machines.

Advantages in the studio

1) Lines that fit

The additional rigidity and more precise guidance are immediately noticeable with Fineline. Especially with #08/#10 RL, you can feel that the needle does not "float" – the point stays in place and the pull remains smooth.

2) Shading that remains even

The tip design supports continuous ink flow. In practice, this means smooth transitions, less refilling, and fewer micro-cracks.

3) Clean hygiene edge

Membrane + anti-backflow grooves keep ink where it belongs. This protects the grip/handpiece and reduces cleaning between sessions.

4) Grip that doesn't annoy

The "ripple" structure on the body provides grip without being sticky. This is especially valuable during long sessions.
